KITEN

Kiten (Bulgarian: Китен, meaning "lovely, pretty") is a resort town on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast, part of Burgas Province. It is situated on a peninsula and has two beaches. The settlement was founded by Bulgarian refugees from the parts of Thrace that stayed under Turkey, but has roots from Antiquity, as amphoras from the 6th century BC were found on the south beach. On 17 June 2005 the former village was proclaimed a town [1] in order to more effectively cope with the growing number of tourists, primarily from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Russia and Germany (as of the summer of 2005).
