Balchik is a small port town on the northern Bulgarian Black Sea coast, built on a stepped white-chalk hillside above a narrow bay. The chief attraction is the Botanical Garden and Palace of Queen Marie of Romania, a romantic complex of terraced gardens containing one of the most diverse cactus collections in Europe alongside a small Orthodox chapel and an art nouveau villa. The chalk cliffs along the shoreline, particularly north of town, are a distinctive coastal landscape rarely found elsewhere on this coastline.
