Kraimorie (also written Krajmorie , Bulgarian Крайморие ) is a district of the Bulgarian Black Sea city ​​of Burgas with about 3,000 inhabitants, about 10 km from the city center . The neighborhood is located near the highway Burgas- Tsarevo in the bay sealed genes Skele in the Gulf of Burgas the Black Sea . Thanks to its location in the bay, Sarafovo has a higher average temperature, so the active tourist season in this region can continue until the end of October.

In 2009, during excavations on what is now the “Faros” peninsula, near Kraimorie, the medieval fortress of Poros , which had its own port, was located. The fortress secured a smaller bay, which is now separated from the Black Sea by a headland, and in late antiquity and in the Middle Ages it was a safe haven for Develtum and Skafidia . In addition to the fortress, there was also a monastery. Some historians suspect that it may be the monastery of St. George (Bulgarian Свети Георги) founded and rebuilt by the Byzantine imperial family in the 13th century. Both sites are currently being restored.

Today's Kraimorie was founded in 1913 by Bulgarian refugees from the Balkan Wars of 1912/13 from Eastern and Western Thrace ( Thracian Bulgarians ) and Macedonia ( Macedonian Bulgarians ) as a refugee camp. They settled in the lands of a former Ottoman Çiftlik (in English for "farm") from Kafka Pasa. The settlement was initially called Kafka . 1921–1922, other refugees also came to Western Thrace. During this time, Burgas was the largest Bulgarian refugee town. In 1929 the refugee camp became the village of Nadeschda (to German hope), which was renamed Kraimorie in 1949 . From November 12, 1987, the place was incorporated into the municipality of Burgas and received the status of a district.

Kraimorie has been developed for tourism since the 1980s. Families with children in particular appreciate the golden sand on the beach, which runs flat on the seabed.

Today the cityscape is characterized by two- and three-story houses and villas and small family hotels. The nature reserves Usungeren and Poda , as well as part of the Burgasser lakes are in the immediate vicinity. South of the beach is the Kraimorie campsite, which is known for its annual biker meeting . From Kraimorie there are regular boat connections to the island of Sweta Anastasia and bus connections to the city center every half hour.

About 5 km south of Kraimorie are the nature reserve Tschengene Skele , the park Rosenez and the smaller fishing port and the fishing settlement of the city of Burgas.

In 2011 the single-nave domed church "Pimen Sograwski" was inaugurated.
