An ethnographic complex near Burgas dedicated to fishing traditions – featuring museum cottages, craft workshops, an amphitheater, a restaurant and other attractions.

The "Chengene Skele" Cultural-Tourist Complex is a unique site dedicated to preserving the fishing traditions of the Southern Black Sea coast. Located about 15 km south of Burgas, near the fishing village of the same name, the complex features three thematic exhibition cottages – “Tayfa”, “Buruntiya” and “Euxin Pont” – which tell the story of the Black Sea, local fishermen’s way of life, customs and legends. Visitors can watch demonstrations of net knitting, rope knotting, taste traditional seafood dishes and learn about local lore. The complex also includes a small restaurant and a sailor’s café-club offering old-recipe specialties and refreshing drinks. There is a multi-purpose building and an open-air amphitheater providing space for all kinds of events. A small beach and a boat pier are nearby, where tourist boat trips depart during the season. "Chengene Skele" offers an authentic experience combining history, culture and seaside romance.
