THE MYSTERY LEGENDS

In the waters of the bay of Burgas is located the only inhabited island on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast – Saint Anastasia. The island has emerged since the eruption of a volcano, and as a result of storms and sea waves, strange rock formations have appeared. St. Anastasia Island is shrouded in mystery, and it is telling hundreds of legends. In the past, when there was a monastery, pirates attacked the island. The reason was the golden treasure buried by a dead pirate. The monks locked themselves in the island church, and prayed to St. Anastasia to save them from the raids. She heard their prayers and sent a terrible storm that sank the pirate ship. Its remains were frozen near the coast of the island, where they can still be seen today.
