Radoynovo is a small rural village located in Municipality of Sredets, District of Burgas, in south-eastern Bulgaria. The village is situated in a peaceful countryside setting within the wider Strandzha region, surrounded by agricultural land, woodland and gently rolling landscapes. Radoynovo is approximately 19 km from the municipal centre of Sredets and around 50 km from the regional city of Burgas, offering a quiet rural lifestyle while remaining within convenient reach of larger towns, regional services, the Black Sea coast and Burgas International Airport.
The village also benefits from its location within reach of the A1 Trakia Motorway, providing convenient road connections towards Burgas, Sofia and other major Bulgarian cities. Burgas and the southern Black Sea coast can be reached by road, making the area suitable for people looking for a peaceful countryside property without being too far from the coast and the services of a larger city.
Radoynovo has a long-established rural character, although detailed historical information about the origins and early development of the village is limited. Historical records show that the settlement was formerly known as Bokludzha and later as Kiril. It was renamed Radoynovo in 1950. The different names reflect the changes that took place in the settlement during the twentieth century.
The village is located in an area where the countryside around the Burgas Lowland gradually meets the northern part of the Strandzha region. The surrounding landscape is characterised by agricultural fields, low hills, woodland and small valleys, creating a pleasant environment for rural living and outdoor activities. The wider Municipality of Sredets is known for its forests, scenic landscapes, rock formations, caves and rich natural environment.
Radoynovo is suitable for people looking for a peaceful countryside home, a renovation project or a second property in south-eastern Bulgaria. The nearby town of Sredets provides access to everyday services and local facilities, while Burgas offers a much wider range of shops, restaurants, medical services, employment opportunities and entertainment. The proximity of the Black Sea also makes the location attractive for those who would like to combine rural living with easy access to the coast.
The surrounding area is particularly attractive for nature lovers and people interested in exploring the Strandzha region. The municipality contains numerous traditional villages, forests and areas of natural beauty, as well as archaeological and historical sites.
