Yailata is a remarkable place at the Black Sea coast, near Kaliakra Cape and the town of Shabla. Here one is able to feel how the human presence and the beautiful nature have enriched one another.
Yailata has two parts: the Big Yaila and the Small Yaila. The rock caves of the Small Yaila were inhabited by primitive people thousands of years ago. During the Middle Ages the caves were used as shelter by hermit monks. An ancient Thracian necropolis and a number of tombs were found in the Big Yaila. Besides Thracians, the place was inhabited by Romans, Greeks, Slavs and Proto-Bulgarians. All of them have left traces of their culture and way of life.
Together with the cultural traces left to us by our ancestors, Yailata is also the habitat of many rare animals and birds that live among the rocks and ancient remnants.
