Kaloyan Nikolov Flies The Drone above Ahtopol

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Check out these excellent drone views of a town on the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria, compliments of nikolov_kn. Ahtopol is the southernmost of the cities and towns along the coast, not far from the border with Turkey. Colonized by Greeks in the 5th century BC, Ahtopol went on to play an important role in the centuries-long struggle between the Bulgarian and Byzantine (and later Ottoman) Empires for control of the southwestern Black Sea coastline. It was also the target of raids by sea pirates up until the early 20th century.
