    Highly recommend the overnight stay. We took the bus from Sunny Beach to Burgas and walked to pier one. Caught the 1:30 ferry. By 4:30 the island was empty except for a few other visitors and the island staff. We walked alone through the museum, church and the rest of the island. It was strikingly different than when the day trippers were there. Plenty of food choices for dinner. You can catch the sunrise down on the Thracian Sun Gate in the morning before breakfast. Thanks to Plovin, the island manager, who spoke English and helped us immensely. Room was 150lv, dinner was 40.

    A wonderful, magical place. Very nice organized trip - you have to book the seats on the boat. The place has tons of history and is very well restored. There are dozens of places on the island where you can take unique pictures. The restaurant offers a nice variety of food. Don't miss the free historical lecture. If you have 3 hours in Burgas, I strongly recommend you to take the time to visit St. Anastasia - you won't regret.

    The island of St. Anastasia, the former name of the Bolsheviks, is a very popular place. It seems that this is the only island near Burgas and it has been turned into a tourist mecca. The big DISADVANTAGE is that the ship goes here every 2 hours. Therefore, Impatient Tourists arriving on the island and wishing to return do not have this opportunity and are forced to hang out restless for 2 hours. This tiny island has one restaurant and one cafe. But if you have had a hearty breakfast in the morning, then you absolutely do not need them. The advantage is that in the morning people who leave Burgas at 10:00 am have the opportunity to sit in the shade

    Nice historic place. The legend has that it was pirate hideout, with a story of ever illusive treasure. The island has lots of music shows and performances, a guest house etc. Recommend.

    A small island with a history, important for the national memories. Small history museum with presentation of the unique 3D exhibition of the Black sea's floor and antien sunken ships.

    Lovely little island with a museum, old Greek chapel, decent hotel & restaurant. Very well managed by a dedicated family. You need a reservation for the trip and especially if you intend to stay overnight.

    The Island of St Anastasia is one wonderful place that has plenty to offer. From its rich history spread throughout the old dwellings, passing by the cozy restaurant offering delicious food served by exceptionally friendly young people. Interesting rock formations can be seen all around the island. You can stay a night or a few in one of the old monastery cells, or choose a guest house room with the most remarkable views. One little gem in the the Bay of Burgas, definitely worth visiting.

    There was a restaurant, a cafe, a church, a museum, a pier, viewpoints and a gift shop. There is also a small inaccessible military area. The amenities are modern and recently renovated. There are two boats that go to the island - one is publicly-owned, while the other one is private. They are both accessible to the general public, although you need to book in advance.

  • 5/5 M K. 1 year ago on Google
    Despite the fact that this is an incredibly tiny island, it has everything you need :) Restaurant, coffee shop, hotel, beach, dog, and cute cat. And not only. I was on October 1, it's not the season anymore. Therefore, there were few people and I could enjoy an excursion to the island. Plus, the beautiful weather allowed me to swim and sunbathe on the beach. Didn't even get bored. In general, I recommend going, but not in the tourist season.

    It's a great Island on the Black sea near off the coast of Bourgs Bulgaria. Stunning views and a beautiful place to visit

    Anastasia Island does not smell of herbs because there are none there. If it weren't for the yellow cards, no one would have realized that they were herbs, shame, shame, shame. The trip was a complete miss. The island is dirty, neglected, you are saving money, so maybe it's time to invest. I do not recommend to anyone!!!!!!

  • 1/5 Ken J. 6 months ago on Google
    The island is great, peaceful experience, recommended. However, the boat charter company operate very unethically. They called me to say my planned and paid-for excursion to St. Anastasia was cancelled due to unexpected adverse weather conditions. So we went to the pier ticket office where the woman said, 'oh no, they just had a conference group to take instead'. We accepted an alternative day, but the point is the guy told a blatant lie. Check out the other reviews, some people had their trip cancelled and never received a refund. It's a sad shame these sharks don't care much about reviews or the effect they may have on Island tourism!

    (Translated by Google) Wonderful place. I'm really excited about the boat trip to him. Separately in the museum is so interesting that it remains memorable for a lifetime. The view of the stormy sea is magnificent. And a bar overlooking Burgas. It's just a must for anyone who hasn't visited it. Unforgettable and unique. (Original) Прекрасно място. Адски много ми харрсва пътуването с корабче до него. Отделно в мизея е толкова интересно, че остава запомнящо се за цял живот. Гледката на бурното море е великолепна. И бара с изглед към Бургас. Просто задължително който не го е посетил трябва да го направи. Незабравимо и неповторимо.

    (Translated by Google) It's nothing special. The museum is quite crazy, there is nothing authentic. If you visit the island, be sure to wear an outer garment, a lot of spirit.

    (Translated by Google) A different tourist destination that is worth seeing. It is reached by a dedicated ship, the voyage of which adds to the overall experience. The island is not very big but it is well arranged. There is a museum, a church, a souvenir shop, a small restaurant and of course a lighthouse. There are also rooms for accommodation. If you are looking for great attractions, you will not find them here. The place is for lovers of relaxation and relaxing walks. (Original) Една по-различна туристическа дестинация, която заслужава да се види. До нея се стига със специално предназначено корабче, пътуването с което допълва цялостното преживяване. Островът не е много голям но е добре уреден. Тук има музей, църква, магазин за сувенири, малко заведение и разбира се фар. Има и стаи за настаняване. Ако търсите по големи атракции, няма да ги намерите тук. Мястото е за почитателите на спокойствието и лежерните разходки.

    (Translated by Google) A very small island, there is nothing to do except sit in a restaurant. They read about the history of the island in Google, no information about it was posted. In general, I do not recommend it, although if you want a half-hour boat trip, please. (Original) Очень маленький остров, делать кроме как сидеть в ресторане нечего. Об истории самого острова читали в Гугле, никакой информации о нем не было вывешено. В общем не рекомендую, хотя если хотите получасовую прогулку на корабле - пожалуйста.

    Really small island. One museum, church cafr and restorant. You come to island with a small ship which has to be reserved in advance and costs 14 lev. You can leave an island aftwr 2 hours on the same ship. Ship has to 2 decks- my advice- take upper deck- better view and feel the wind ?
