Kavarna

Kavarna (Bulgarian: Каварна) is a Black Sea coastal town in the Dobruja region of northeastern Bulgaria. It lies 64 km from Varna and 49 km from Dobrich on the main road E79. The population is about 12,500. A little yacht port, a fishing base, a spacious beach and a resort complex exist in the town. The town is mentioned in the documents under various names: Carbona, Karvuna, Kavarna. Its name derived initially from the Romanian (Vlach) word for coal ("cărbune"); a second town in the area, Mangalia, derives its name from the Turkish name for charcoal - "mangal". This proves that, in the Middle Ages, when these names were first mentioned, the inhabitants of these lands (the Principality of Karvuna) were producing charcoal from the woods in the region.
