Varna Excursion and Aladja Monastery
Duration:  Approx. 4 hours.

     The Roman Thermae, or public baths, date back to the early Roman period.  On the intriguing program, view the haunting remains of the massive construction from a bygone era.
     From the pier area, your motor coach will travel through the old city area before arriving at the roman Thermae.  Originally spread over 7,000 square meters during the 2nd century A.D., the surviving remains reveal numerous hallways and vaulted galleries, once richly decorated inside and out with statues, marble and mosaics.  You'll witness the area where the pools were located, the special heating installation process and underground sewerage system. 
     Rejoining your coach, you will soon reach the Ethnographic Museum.  On the exhibition here are some of the original implements, costumes and craft works of the local people from the last half of the 19th Century.
     Located in a lush woodland area, on the outskirts of Varna, is Aladja Monastery.  Here, view the impressive rock setting of a medieval Bulgarian culture.  The chapel, church and monastic cells are a unique monument of the 13th and 14th centuries.
     At the Golden Sands Resort, you will be served a refreshing drink while a colorful presentation of folk dances will be staged from your enjoyment.

Note:  Moderate walking, not recommended for slow walkers.
