Tschengene Skele (also Chengene Skele , Bulgarian Ченгене скеле ) or Ziganski saliw ( Bulgarian Цигански залив ) is a bay of the western Black Sea in the Gulf of Burgas , about 8 kilometers south of the city center of the Bulgarian port city of Burgas . Parts of the bay were declared a nature reserve Tschengene Skele in 1995 .
With Kraimorie, a district of Burgas, the oil port of Burgas and a fishing settlement are located in the bay .
Surname
The name of the bay is derived from the Turkish Cingene Skela , which means gypsy port in German. The other Bulgarian name Ziganski saliw is just a variation and means gypsy bay. This name goes back to the settlement of the Roma in the Ottoman period in this area. The settlement has been traceable since the 16th century and in 1784 it was referred to as a "city". While the settlement was only built in the winter months, the quarantine station of Burgas, a small port and several bars were located in the bay until the 1900s. After 1910 the Roma settled on the Kumluka spit in what is now the Pobeda district.
