Very interesting is also the local history started in the 5th century BC as a small Thracian settlement, closely related to that in the outskirts of the municipality and in the Potamya inlet immediately south of Sinemorets were discovered during archaeological excavations several artifacts dated that period with findings of some rests of ancient wooden ships, anchors ,metallic elements, ceramic fragments, pieces of carved stones and inscriptions of incredible value..
All the surrounding area of the province of Burgas was a territory populated by that ancient population who also reached the estuary of the river Veleka and along that waterway were found further traces consisting in many graves related to those settlers who created all around the current land very active centres.
All the surrounding area of the province of Burgas was a territory populated by that ancient population who also reached the estuary of the river Veleka and along that waterway were found further traces consisting in many graves related to those settlers who created all around the current land very active centres.
Colonised by Greeks and Romans that territory under rule of those two important civilisations became an important cross point of trade and furthermore according to some historic documentations the province of Burgas was also explored and for a short period inhabited by Illyrian tribes.
The Hellenic colonists started to establish a village composed by modest houses inhabited by fishermen who continued to be inhabited by the descendants .from Apollonia and later by new settlers coming from the Kingdom of Macedonia.
They left important marks especially linked to commerce, fishing, handcraft with also a notable organisation in terms of social and politic life in a place that before their landings was pretty depopulated due to several incursions and raids by pirates alongside the entire Black Sea coastline.
Also the denomination of the former village is of Hellenic heritage when it was originally named Galadzaki deriving from Galazios meaning azure or light blue due to the colour of the waters of the sea.
The current Bulgarian name pronounced Sinemorez with the final letters t and s replaced by a sound pretty strong as a Z is practically the Slavic translation of the former left by those Greek settlers.
The village with that name according to historic documentations was already known when the Romans occupied that land during the times of Emperor Claudius in 46.
Since then the settlement was protagonist of a a new era mainly focused in a concrete planned politic system ,the defence of a territory between mountains and sea with fortified sections and a continuation of all what created by the predecessors.
That Empire integrated the Hellenic settlers of the autochtone colony in high cultural, artistic spheres giving them the Imperial citizenship, priivilege of vote and important positions in the community.
The local area after the fall of the Rome was not very populated for the continuous attacks by corsairs, events which endured for long time.
Due that unsafe situation many people left the coastline to find refuge in the the forests of Strandzha mainly devoted to agricultural activities reaching the coast simply to fish having some food to survive.
All that changed during the rule of the Byzantine Empire started with a strong influence since the late 4th century with Theodosious I who in that time with Constantinople as capital occupied a large part of the current nation.before the advent of the First Bulgarian Empire which replaced in the 11th century those Greek-Roman rulers.
Concrete historic documentations dating back the 15th century attested the presence of a official hamlet appeared during the times of the Ottoman Empire occupation in a Turkish map dated 1496 a period which corresponds just four years later of the end of the medieval era when the present Sinemorets was renamed Kalandja.

The Ottomans who ruled Bulgaria for five centuries took that village as a simple mercantile dock and in in that time the former village was inhabited by a small Christian Greek Orthodox community living near a small harbour which was used as site for timber trade coming from the nearest woody area of Strandzha renamed in that time by the Turks Yildiz meaning Star.
In the early 18th century the village was attacked several times by Caucasian pirates once again and that centre only had a dozen of houses more built along the local pier with others established towards to the inland along a path leading to the nearest forest.
That site during those centuries never had an intense development or increasing of population including later when it only had about 17/18 houses according new maps edited after a territorial recognition by an Austrian Diplomatic of the House of Habsburg called Wenzel Von Bronjar protagonist of that operation in 1766.
In 1821 a German geographer, Christian Gottlieb Rehinardt confirmed the existence of Sinemorets in a more contemporary map printed by the Ottoman Empire with a new design of borders and its territorial subdivision with the previously mentioned Strandzha or Yildiz also known as Istranca, former name of Binkiliç, a town in the province of Istanbul.
The reasons Sinemorets despite its strategic position was almost unknown for a long period was because the Turks privileged determined centres leaving others in a status of secondary relevance simply used as point of simple transit.
The Treaty of Santo Stefano signed on 3rd March 1878 after the Russian-Ottoman war which sanctioned the autonomy of Bulgaria inside the Ottoman Empire was the first chapter towards the independence reached in 1908 with the proclamation by Tsar Ferdinand.

The territory also has a notable fauna well represented by over 600 invertebrates species, 24 species of reptiles, 25 Bat species and 70 different kinds of marine fish.
Since a long time ago it is an important destination of migratory birds with about 270/280 species among them Eurasian eagle-owl, Hawk, Gull, Cormorant, Heron, Black Stork, White Stork, Egyptian Vulture,SombreTit, White-backed woodpecker, Olive-tree warbler, Semicollared flycatcher and four eagle species among others.
Strandzha Nature Park is located in a a geographic point along an iconic migratory birds route called Via Pontica which is a significant itinerary where all those volatiles reach that area during their trips from North Europe to the Balkans before to continue with next stages towards the coasts of North Africa landing on the coasts of Egypt, Libya and the Maghreb.
Notable is also the presence of mammals, one of the symbols is the golden jackal but you can see other species such as grey wolf, red fox otter, badger, wildcat, Marble polecat, wild boar, deer, red deer, beech marten, Lesser mole-rat, European ground squirrel, Günther's vole, three dormhouse species and also Medterranean monk seals in proximity of Silistar.
In the surroundings of Sinemorets you will have a lot of things to do, apart the nearest Turkey which offers several beautiful, historic places and stunning beaches immediately after the frontier.
You can also visit some interesting villages in the interior and I suggest you Kosti, a small centre which has kept the old charm of the most traditional Bulgarian hamlet of the past.
In addition it has a notable historic value because in its boundaries was discovered after archeological excavations a ancient Thracian necropolis and furthermore it was one of the oldest Greek villages founded in the inland.
In that village you can see some great examples of the old local architecture consisting in some attractive, wooden and crude stone houses developed on two levels and all around a beautiful green, peaceful environment.
In that tiny centre as well as in the nearest Gramatikovo, Mladezhko and other small centres, the locals kept the old traditions of the ancestors preparing homemade foods loyal to recipes transmitted generation by generation but also typical handcrafts, all is practically remained intact as some centuries ago.
n places like that you can see performances on live coals of Nestinarka, a traditional, ritual dance to pay homage to the Saints Elena and Constantine celebrated on 21st May, but in many touristic resorts there are often shows to delight the tourists with those representations part of the oldest traditional folklore.
Also that is very attractive for tourists who want to enter in contact with historic realities which created a culture discovering many fascinating things.
Naturally when you are spending holidays in Sinemorets do not miss to visit jewels of art and history as Burgas, Varna and Nessebar, the pearl of the Black Sea.
All those centres boast a superb patrimony ranging from monumental Orthodox Churches, Mosques left by the Ottomans with in addition the chance to visit different museums hosting famed collections of artifacts left by important civilisations as the Thracian, Greek and Roman.
I also recommend you, Athopol, another captivating seaside resort not far offering you a beautiful beach with the chance to discover a place very interesting. (In the case you are interested I wrote a post about that site) I added below some links to plan your stay and some suggested Hotels.
