About Tsarkva Village
Tsarkva village is located just 6km from the black sea resort of Albena and just 40km from Bulgaria's third largest city, Varna, where the nearest airport can also be found and is an excellent place for shopping. Other nearby places include Balchik, Golden Sands and Kavarna, all of which are within a short driving distance.
Tsarkva is a small traditional Bulgarian village within the municipality of Dobrich and allows you to see the real Bulgaria, with real Bulgarian people instead of the artificial impression of Bulgaria you will get by staying in one of the the holiday resorts.
The village is mainly a farming and residential village for the workers in the Albena resort and has two small shops, located in the village square near the mayors office. You will often see donkeys pulling carts of fruit and nuts or farmers taking their herds of cows, sheep and goats to the meadow to graze on the common land.
The villagers are friendly although the majority of them can only speak Bulgarian but the shop keepers and a few of the villagers do know enough English to get by which means that you can buy your bread and milk without having to put on a charades show!!
The whole village overlooks the meadow (used for grazing cattle) and forest with the villa having the best view of this being located in the south east corner of the village. Wild boar run around deep in the forest which some of the locals hunt during the winter time!
