The village of Kiten is situated at the south end of the bay of Primorsko and lies 56 km south of Bourgas, and 446 south-east of Sofia. Located on a peninsula the village has two beaches. The north beach, called Atliman, with calm and clean sea is covered with fine golden sand and is protected from storms. The south beach is bigger and abuts the Kiten River, which is rich in fish. The season here starts from May and ends in October. The summer temperature of the air reaches +28C and that of the sea water is + 26C, but due to the vicinity of a forest you will not feel the summer heat.
Settlers from Odrinska Trakia established the village. But the historical roots of the settlement dates back to ancient times. The evidence is the old amphora from 6th century before Christ, found at the South beach. Kiten is the successor of the fortress called Urdoviza situated on the cape itself. The Romans called the settlement Oroudiza. The town existed till the fall under the Turkish domination, and after that it was abandoned. One can still see ruins of the town lying on the cape.
The first name of the village was Urdoviza called after a young beautiful Bulgarian woman Stana Urdoviza, who escaped from the harem of the Sultan. Puzzled by her courage the Sultan promised to free the land she could manage to detour from sunrise till sunset. Stana managed to free the whole Strandja. She and her horse died at the North beach of Kiten that up to this very day bears the name of Atliman – the Bay of the Horse.
