Sozopol (Bulgarian: ???????) is a small ancient town located 30 km south of Burgas on the southern Bulgarian Black Sea Coast,
in Bulgaria. Today the town is mostly a seaside resort known for the Apollonia art and film festival (which takes place in
early September) and is named after one of Sozopols ancient names. The busiest times of the year are, of course, the summer
months, ranging from May to September as tourists from around the world come to enjoy the fine weather, sandy beaches,
history and culture, fusion cuisine (Bulgarian, Greek, Turkish), and overall atmosphere of the colourful resort. The
increasing popularity of the town has led to it being dubbed the Bulgarian St. Tropez, seeing stars like Ralph Fiennes, Brad
Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Goldfrapp exploring its beauty and charm[1]. Part of Burgas Province, as of September 2005 Sozopol
has a population of 4,641.GRBulgaria The town is located at 42?25?N, 27?42?E and the mayor is Veska Karamanova. One of the
most active and popular mayors had been Nikola Kaloyanov, who initiated numerous infrastructure changes to modernize the town
in the 70s. Sozopol is one of the oldest towns on Bulgarian Thraces Black Sea coast. The first settlement on the site dates
back to the Bronze Age. Undersea explorations in the region of the port reveal relics of dwellings, ceramic pottery, stone
and bone tools from that era. Many anchors from the second and first millennium BC have been discovered in the towns bay, a
proof of active shipping since ancient times. The town, at first called Antheia, was colonized in Thrace on the shore of the
Pontus Euxinus, principally on a little island, by Anaximander (born 610-609 BC) at the head of Milesian colonists. The name
was soon changed to Apollonia, on account of a temple dedicated to Apollo in the town, containing a famous colossal statue of
the god Apollo by Calamis, 30 cubits high, transported later to Rome by Lucullus and placed in the Capitol. At various times,
Apollonia was known as Apollonia Pontica (that is, Apollonia on the Black Sea, the ancient Pontus Euxinus) and Apollonia
Magna (Great Apollonia). The coins, which begin in the fourth century BC, bear the name Apollonia and the image of Apollo;
the imperial coins, which continue to the first half of the third century AD, and the Tabula Peutinger also contain the name
Apollonia; but the Periplus Ponti Euxini, 85, and the Notitiæ episcopatuum have only the new name Sozopolis. In 1328
Cantacuzene (ed. Bonn, I, 326) speaks of it as a large and populous town. The islet on which it stood is now connected with
the mainland by a narrow tongue of land. Sozopolis, in Turkish Sizebolu, in Bulgarian Sozopol, is in Burgas Province,
Bulgaria. Its inhabitants, in the past mostly Greeks, lived by fishing and agriculture. The town established itself as a
trade and naval centre in the following centuries. It kept strong political and trade relations with the cities of Ancient
Greece ? Miletus, Athens, Corinth, Heraclea Pontica and the islands Rhodes, Chios, Lesbos, etc. Its trade influence in the
Thracian territories was based on a treaty with the rulers of the Odrysian kingdom dating from the fifth century BC. The
symbol of the town ? the anchor, present on all coins minted by Apollonia since the sixth century BC, is proof of the
importance of its maritime trade. The rich town soon became an important cultural centre. At these times it was called
Apollonia Magna. Occupied in turn by Byzantines, Bulgarian
