About Varna
Varna is roughly in the middle of the northern Bulgarian coast, at the bottom of the8km (5.0mi)wide Gulf of Varna. An artificial shipping channel splits the gulf's coastline in two and connects the sea to the long and narrow Varna-Beloslav lake, which in turn is fed by the small Provadiya River. The city of Varna lies on the northern side of the gulf, on a stretch of relatively flat land under the steeper slopes of the southern edges of a low limestone plateau. The tall Asparuh(ov) Bridge connects Varna to the outlaying neighborhoods on the southern side, Asparuhovo and Galata. The only other way to cross the lake is the free ferry at Beloslav,16km (9.9mi)west of the city centre. The oldest parts of Varna, including the so-called Greek Quarter, spread fan-like from the north-east to the no
