Balchik

A north-coast town famous for its Botanical Garden and the Palace of Queen Marie of Romania, with white chalk cliffs, a marina and a terraced old town.

About Balchik

Balchik tumbles down in terraces toward the sea, its old houses clinging to the white chalk cliffs that gave it its fame. The heart of the town remains the complex of the Palace of Queen Marie of Romania and the Botanical Garden around it, a place bound up with the Romanian history of the interwar Cadrilater, with paths, terraces and plant collections descending toward the shore.

Beyond the palace, the town has a distinct Black Sea harbour charm, with a promenade, a marina and an old quarter that invites unhurried walks. For travellers from Romania, Balchik is also a place of memory rather than merely a seaside stop, which lends it a resonance few resorts can claim.
