St. Anastasia Island lies in Burgas Bay and is the only inhabited Bulgarian island. It houses the remains of a 13th-century monastery, an active lighthouse from 1889, and a small ethnographic museum.
In the 20th century, the island was used as a prison for political detainees. Today, it offers a museum, a chapel, a harbor, and a restaurant with local seafood. It’s accessible via boat from Burgas port.
