 The town of Tsarevo (population: 6184) is 72 km south of Bourgas and 462 km south-east of Sofia. It is situated at the foot of Strandzha Mountain where it slopes to the sea. Mt. Papiya raises more than five hundred metres above the town. There are three spacious beaches in the vicinity.
There are two villages to the south-west on the road to Malko Turnovo. They are famous for the nestinarski dances (barefoot dance on glowing embers), which are a tourist attraction nowadays. The actual ritual is held on 21st May when the old female fire-dancers perform. The villages of Kodolovo and Bulgari are 22 and 17 km respectively away from Tsarevo. Another attraction is the village of Gradishte where Thracian mounds were found.
