Like them, our most southern town boasts an ancient history and ancient heritage, like them, and he has a highly developed tourist facilities and also as they seek to provoke the interest of visitors with delicious local cuisine and comfortable new hotels. In fact, several years can be said that Ahtopol is now divided into old and new town, separated by a bridge. Old Town is one of Ahtopol, survived and evolved over the years, destroyed and rebuilt. The new city has the typical urban vision - apartment blocks and modern. But like everything else in Ahtopol, and the contrast is striking. Like mountains and sea coexist in harmony on both sides of town and his two visions are part of the overall whole.

Interesting is the church "Ascension", built in the late XVIII century it is located very close to shore in the eastern part of Ahtopol and looks like a house. Very close to the church is another very significant to the history of landmark Ahtopol - Greek school. After the devastating fire of 1918 and survived a small part of the monastery "St. Jani ", built in XII century and the chapel" St. Marina ", which are also worth your attention.
