Living in Aheloy
Aheloy lies between Burgas and Nessebar, right next to Ravda – a small town with a long sandy beach where many people from all over Europe live all year round. Our office is here, in the Chateau Aheloy 2 complex. What you should know about daily life:
Location
Aheloy belongs to the municipality of Pomorie and has been a town since 2009. Ravda borders it directly, and Nessebar and Pomorie are just minutes away. Particularly handy: Burgas and Burgas Airport are closer than from most other places on this stretch of coast – ideal if you fly home regularly or have visitors.
Beach
Aheloy has a long, fine sandy and comparatively quiet beach – you will find space here even in summer. South of the town, the Aheloy river flows into the sea.
Shopping
Everyday needs are covered in town: supermarkets, bakeries, a greengrocer, restaurants and small local shops. For Lidl, dm, DIY stores and more, you drive a few minutes to neighbouring Ravda; for Kaufland and shopping centres, to Burgas.
Doctors and pharmacies
Aheloy has a GP and a pharmacy. Health centres are in Pomorie and Nessebar, and the region's hospitals are in Burgas. In an emergency, dial 112, the European emergency number.
International community
Many expats from all over Europe live in Aheloy all year round – you will hear German, English and many other languages. Newcomers quickly find friends and people who have already taken their first steps in Bulgaria.
Prices
Aheloy is usually more affordable than Ravda or Nessebar – both for buying and renting. That makes it a good place to start with a long-term rental and get to know life by the sea first.
Life through the year
In summer Aheloy is lively, but never as crowded as the big resorts. In winter it becomes quiet – but supermarkets, bakeries, the pharmacy and some restaurants stay open.
A piece of history
In 917, one of the largest battles of the Middle Ages took place near Aheloy: Tsar Simeon I defeated the Byzantine army here – an event Bulgarians are still proud of today.
Living in Aheloy
In the Chateau Aheloy 2 complex we rent out fully furnished apartments on a long-term basis – with three pools, just a few minutes' walk from the beach. Our office is right on site.
