The district is the city center around 10 km, and between the district and the city center is only the Atanassowsee. Immediately west of Sarafovo cross the area of the Burgas airport. The number 5 of the municipal company Burgasbus runs regularly between the district, the airport and the city center.

Thanks to its location on the Black Sea in the Bay of Burgas Sarafovo has a higher average temperature, so that the active tourist season can last in this region until the end of October. From Sarafovo also extends the view over the Bay of Bourgas to Pomorie, Sozopol and the beach Saddle Mountains. Sarafovo is also called the Beverly Hillls called from Burgas, since many wealthy citizens have settled here.

The district has a beach, a small port and an eponymous stadium. There also is the Sv. Tschudotworez Nikolaj Church and close to the nature reserve Atanassowsee.

History

Sarafovo was 1921-1922, when the first cottages were constructed by Bulgarian refugees from Eastern and Western Thrace (see Thracian Bulgarians ). During this time, Burgas constituted the largest refugee city dar. On August 28, 1922 Sarafovo has been recognized within the district Pomorie as a separate place and was named in 1929 after the architect Sarafow who planned the layout of the place with large avenues and many parks.

As of November 12, 1987, the town was incorporated into the city of Bourgas and received the status of a district.

In February 2012 came with a storm surge of the sea north of Sarafovo a Roman settlement to light. This is to be exposed and explored in the coming years. The first excavations in the spring of 2012 are led by the Ljudmil Wagalinski, director of the National Archaeological Institute at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and financially supported by the Bulgarian government. The end of May was exposed an early Christian basilica.
