Alepu Lagoon - Pictures of Bulgaria

The Alepu lagoon (also known as Alepou marsh) is situated in the southern part of the Bulgarian coast, about 6.5 kilometers south of the fabolous town of Sozopol and about one kilometer south of the coastal resort Duni. The name Alepou comes from Greek and literally means the Fox's Marsh. In 1986 the marsh was declared a protected area, a part of the Ropotamo reserve. Currently the Alepu lagoon is a popular place for nature lovers and bird-watchers.
