The name of this beach is Pasha Dere. If you love crystal clear water and virgin beaches this is your place.
There are no bars and lifeguads. You need to take your own umbrella, food, water.

The butterfly house is a great experience. The entrance is around 6 BGN (and it's worth it!). The owner welcomes their visitors at the counter, share some general information about the butterflies and guide into the fantastic butterfly room where he share all his knowledge (which is a lot). Great place for kids, the butterflies can land on you
