Prissad ( Bulgarian Присад ) is a Bulgarian village in the municipality of Sozopol , Burgas Province . The village is about 40 km west of the Sozopol community center . Prissad is about 2 km inland from Lake Mandra and 15 km west of the city of Burgas . Until 1934 the village was called Achlatlii .
A Turkish-Bulgarian mixed population lived in the village until the liberation of Bulgaria . In 1908 the Church of the Holy Trinity was built. In 1913 several families of Bulgarian refugees from the Balkan Wars of 1912/13 from Eastern and Western Thrace ( Thracian Bulgarians ) settled in the village. Some of the quickly built, simple accommodations (the so-called Sharon houses ) have been preserved in the village to this day. After the communist seizure of power and the initiated collectivization, part of the population moved to the nearby city of Burgas.
The village festival with typical oil wrestling takes place on May 6th ( St. George's Day ) .
The village has been namesake for Prisad Island , an island in the South Shetland Islands in Antarctica , since 2013 .
