A nice little
village situated in a sheltered
bay, Kranevo is 25km north of
the city of Varna. It lies just
beyond the northern end of
Golden Sands and at the southern
part of a long beach, which
extends towards the luxurious
resort of Albena to the north.
The vast beach, clean sea,
gently sloping sea bottom and
curative mineral water have
propelled the swift growth of
the village into a competitive
tourist destination.
Kranevo has succeeded an ancient
Roman stronghold, known as 'Ekrene'
or the harbour 'Kraneia'. Traces
of the Roman fortress, which was
exploited during the Middle Ages
as well, have been found on the
southern plateaus above the
village.
