Burgas ready to resume boat trips to Saint Anastasia Island

The municipality of Burgas is ready to resume boat trips to Saint Anastasia Island. This may happen as of next week, Burgas Mayor Dimitar Nikiolov said. The island is ready to welcome guests. Only the local hotel will be functioning in the beginning. The restaurant and the museum will remain closed until the anti-epidemic measures are lifted. 

Saint Anastasia Island (formerly Bolshevik island) is located 6 kilometers of Burgas. It is the only Bulgarian island which became a tourist attraction. In 2001 the island was declared archaeological reserve. Last year, nearly 40,000 tourists visited Saint Anastasia Island.
