   History of St Vlas...

Sveti Vlas has a rich history that dates back to the 2th century BC. It was then when the Thracian tribe Larisi founded the town Larisa. During the 14th century AC the town was renamed to “Sveti Vlas” after a patron saint of cattle growers and merchants. During the Ottoman rule the village was known as “Manastir”, because of the five monasteries in the vicinity of the site. It restored its name of Sveti Vlas after the reunification of the Bulgarian state in 1886.
