History: Sveti Vlas has a rich history that dates back to the 2th century BC. It was then when the Thracian tribe Larisi founded the town Larisa. During the 14th century AC the town was renamed to “Sveti Vlas” after a patron saint of cattle growers and merchants. During the Ottoman rule the village was known as “Manastir”, because of the five monasteries in the vicinity of the site. Unfortunately, none of the monasteries has been preserved up to present days. It restored its name of Sveti Vlas after the reunification of the Bulgarian state in 1886.

Catering: The quick expansion of the village into a modern resort driven by the spillover of entrepreneurship from the nearby holiday city of Sunny Beach has spurred the emergence of numerous pubs and restaurants. Guests of St Vlas can also take advantage of the various tourist facilities, including outdoor food, of Sunny Beach, which is just 5min away by car.
