Ravda (Bulgarian: Равда, Greek: Ράβδα) a coastal village and seaside resort in southeastern Bulgaria, situated in Nesebar municipality, Burgas Province. Ravda is a small seaside resort on the Black Sea, located 3 km from Nesebar and 5 km from Sunny Beach. 30 km from Bourgas airport. After 1924, Bulgarian refugees from the villages of Koufalia, Bozets, Kirkalovo, Mikro Monastiri, Barovitsa, Ramel, Krya Vrysi, Kadinovo and Axos in Aegean Macedonia settled in Ravda.[1]
