settlement. In 1880 a big fire burns down the village, wich springs to life a new in a place close by,

populated primarily by refugees from Eastern

Thrace in 1913.

importance. Tsarevo has three beaches and two exotic

campsite: "Bulgarian" and "Nestinarka.

Known as Michurin before the name-change mania of the early 1990’s,many residents and visitors still prefer to it by the old name. When the town was settled at the end of the 15th century by refugees from other Bulgarian villages, it was known as Vassiliko.

It’s a pleasant, friendly place, especially after the twin nightmares of Primorsko and Kiten. A place is

very beautiful and incredible.

Turkish control until

1912.After liberation, it

remained poor and

undeveloped.

Malaria was such a problem that the authorities seriously considered relocating the population and destroying the village.
