Balchik - General Info
Description:
This port is the most northerly port in Bulgaria and the best port to clear into if coming from Romania.
When coming from the North (Romania) you will be called on VHF Channel 16 by the Bulgarian border control authority when rounding Nos Kaliakra, requesting information about the boat and crew. They will also notify the border authorities in Balchik by telephone.
Approach from the East is straightforward with a breakwater clearly visible.
When coming from the south, there is a permanent long fishing net set up a little to the west of the harbor entrance, with no lights.
The Town of Balchik becomes a busy seaside resort in the summer months. Steep cobbled streets, Queen Mary’s Palace and the botanical gardens all add to the interest of this town as a port of call. There are many restaurants and bars and easy provisioning.
Position:
43°24.0’N, 28° 09.8’E (harbor entrance)
