The Bay of Sozopol (also Sozopol Bay , Bulgarian Созополски залив / Sosopolski saliw) is a bay of the western Black Sea in the Gulf of Burgas and bears the name of the largest city in the bay - Sozopol . The bay is bordered by the Chrisotira peninsulas in the north and Skamnij in the south. A fertile coastal plain that has been used since ancient times stretches along the bay. The plain borders in the west on the Meden rid range of hills , part of the Strandscha Mountains with the highest elevation of the Bakarlak summit (362 m). The Bakarlar is also the highest point in the entire gulf.
