One such house, operating as “The Windmill” restaurant is the place for your lunch in a traditional Bulgarian style. After lunch, you’ll have free time to walk around and enjoy the life of this small ancient town. The style of the Castle is Fairy, Enchanting. This is the secret of its magic impact – a dream to build a castle existing only in fairy tales made true. It was built completely of 20 000 tons of stone, especially extracted from the bowels of the Strandzha Mountains. The stone is marble (metamorphosed limestone), which is used everywhere – in the fence, the artificial lake, walls and towers, the chapel and the cellar. It contains traces of micro diamonds, which makes the castle change its colour – in the morning it has pink nuances, during the day, it becomes white and at full moon – it glows. However, the thing that makes this castle unique is the fact it has the shape of a crest, which symbolizes trust, love and commitment in its construction and development. In Love with Wind is a unique attraction not only for Bulgaria. It attracts the interest and admiration of both locals and foreigners. Feel the fairy comfort of a castle from the fairy tales and allow yourself to get lost in its enchanting atmosphere. You’ll be back at Sunny Beach in about 40-50 minutes and at about 5 p.m.
