The town of Tsarevo is situated 72km south of Bourgas. Similarly to other nearby towns and villages, Tsarevo is situated at the very border between the Strandzha Mountain and the sea. It lies over two small peninsulas, bordering a beautiful inlet. The peak of Papiya, which is 502 m high and shows traces of an old fortress, stands out to the south of the town and is an additional attraction of Tsarevo. The town is an administrative centre and has a lot of specialized stores and a hospital.

Once one gets into Tsarevo, it is worth spending a day either at the beach or deep into the Stradzha Mountain. The mountain was declared a natural park in 1995 (in fact being the largest one in Bulgaria) and is one of the least explored in Bulgaria, which explains the richness of its wildlife. The mountain also has a lot of caves (particularly in its western part), traces of ancient civilizations (such as stone figures, sun discs carved in stone, Thracian dolmens, fortress walls, protobulgarian sanctuaries, etc). The mountain's villages are also unique in terms of spirit and architecture.

There are numerous restaurants which offer Bulgarian national and international cuisine, fish delicates and many other good choices of food. The central beach of the town is small, but surrounded by picturesque trees from the town’s park. The vicinity of the town is checkered with green coastal sites, which have preserved its virgin beauty. Close to the town is Papia peak- the highest peak on Strandja elevation (502m). Remains from an ancient fortress can be found on this green forestry peak.
