207 km drive (ca. 3.5 h) — The road demands low-speed and very cautious driving.

Varvara offers some very affordable places to stay, ranging from guest houses to small family hotels. However, their number is limited. We strongly advise you to book a room as soon as possible if you need to be close to the festival.
The nearest towns are Lozenetz, Tsarevo, Ahtopol & Sinemorets – all of them are just a few minutes’ drive away from Varvara. They are the perfect alternative for those of you who plan to move around with a car or use our Festival Shuttle.
Find and reserve your stay on www.booking.bg.
You can pitch your tent in the so called ‘Happy Forest’ – a wild camp area just a 10-15 min walk from the festival site. Showers and toilets with running water will be available at the entrance of the festival.
Camping is FREE and at your sole responsibility. We trust that you are going to keep nature clean and leave no trace.
Free parking will be available on the plateau above the beach for those of you who have decided to stay sober and move around with a car. However, driving may cause you great trouble and we are here to remind you that:
— The local authorities have zero tolerance for reckless people driving under the influence. Police patrols with drug and alcohol tests will be present in the village and on the dirt road leading to the festival. We strongly advise you to leave your car once you arrive and enjoy a carefree time for the next 3 days.
— The walk from Varvara to the festival site takes about 10-15 minutes. Just don’t forget to hydrate and apply sunscreen in the daytime.
— The festival shuttle is the safest option for reaching the festival if you are staying in the nearby villages.
Stay safe and enjoy your festival time responsibly.

A three-day journey needs a bit of preparation. Make the most out of the festival with these simple tips:
— Bring enough cash (BGN) to Varvara. The nearest ATM is located in Ahtopol.
— Mind your clothing. Days at the festival are usually very hot but nights are sometimes chilly because of the sea breeze.
— Network coverage at the beach is weak. Texting is alright but you might have to leave the beach if you need to make a phone call.
