Cape Kaliakra is a long and narrow headland in the Southern Dobruja region of the northern Bulgarian Black Sea Coast, located 12 km east of Kavarna and 60 km northeast of Varna. The coast is steep with vertical cliffs reaching 70 m down to the sea. Kaliakra is a nature reserve, where dolphins, cormorants and pinnipeds can be observed. You can also see remnants of the fortified walls, water-main baths and residence of Despot Dobrotitsa in the short-lived Principality of Karvuna's medieval capital. Just north of the cape, at the mouth of a picturesque canyon, lies the Bolata cove with its small sheltered beach – also part of the nature reserve.
