Bulgaria's fourth city on the Black Sea coast — the largest seaside city in the country, surrounded by three salt lakes (Pomorie, Atanasovsko, Burgas). The Sea Garden and Bogoridi pedestrian axis anchor the walkable core; the Lazur and Slaveykov districts are residential. Same Bulgaria DNV as Sofia/Plovdiv (€1,500/mo income, 1-year + 1-year extension); Schengen since 2024. The structural draw is summer-Mediterranean Black Sea + meaningfully sub-Sofia rents; winters are mild but grey.
