The regional administration and eight more partners from seaside regions collaborate in the joint project striving to present the unique diversity of Bulgaria, Armenia, Georgia, Greece, Moldova, Turkey and Ukraine not only the opportunities for recreation they offer.

The first festival of such a kind took place in September 2014 in Turkey. Burgas region presented its unique traditions in preparing honey typical for the area near the Strandzha Mountain as well as other traditional products and crafts.
