Bulgaria Black Sea Resorts Stamps 1972
1972 Bulgaria Black Sea Resorts stamps
These stamps depict the Bulgarian Black Sea resorts of Zlatni Pyasatsi (”Golden Sands”), Druzhba (”Friendship”), Slanchev Bryag (”Sunny Beach”), Primorsko, Rusalka (”Mermaid”), and Albena. I’m not sure who designed this set, but I suddenly want to bask in the Bulgarian sunshine.

I lived in Bulgaria for 2 years as a Peace Corps volunteer. The Black Sea is one of my favorite places in the world and these stamps are great.

These are great! I grew up in Bulgaria in the 80s when collecting stamps was a popular hobby among kids and teenagers. It’s funny how back then these, and even Kanchev’s stamps were ubiquitous and not particularly coveted. We wanted foreign or better yet Western stamps for our collections. Looking at these now, I have a very different appreciation for how well designed they actually are.
Thanks for sharing!

Turns out the designer’s name is V. Vassileva, but I can’t find her first name. She also did another series of stamps featuring Bulgarian fauna.
Find it, along with more wonderful vintage Bulgarian stamps, in this government archive (unfortunately in Bulgarian).
(Thanks to Andrian Dimitrov, the designer behind the fantastic Stefan Kanchev tribute site you featured some time ago, for digging up this info for me.)
