Varna - Cape Kaliakra- Srebarna Nature Reserve

• Cape Kaliakra

  2 hoursAdmission Ticket Not Included

  We start from your hotel at 8.00 a.m. and drive north of Varna to Cape Kaliakra - a place of exceptional natural beauty,. Here are the last remnants of the Great Steppe, formerly occupying the bigger part of Dobroudzha. The kaleidoscopic hues of the wild flowers in spring, the silver-green tints of the absinthe and thristles in summer and the light movements of the feather-grass in autumn, gracefully sweeping among the remnants of the ancient fortress of Kaliakra, create the special appeal of this area. In calm weather the cape is a convenient point for watching the three dolphin species, occurring in the Black Sea – the Common Dolphin, the Bottle-nosed Dolphin and the Harbour Porpoise. Birds to be seen around Kaliakra: European Shag (the Mediterranean ssp. desmarestii), Yelkouan Shearwater, Stone Curlew, Eurasian Eagle Owl, Alpine Swift, Greater Short-toed Lark, Calandra Lark, Tawny Pipit, Isabelline Wheatear, Pied Wheatear, Rose-coloured Starling
