APOLLONIA Historians believe that the first inhabitants of the territories round the today s town of Sozopol appeared about 6000 years ago. It is necessary to mention here that the level of the Black Sea in those times was 8-10 m lower and the shore of Sozopol differed considerably from what it is today. The Sozopol Peninsula was then an island, connected to the island Kirik and Yulita. The isthmus that today connects the Old town with the continent was formed after 5th c. B.C. when the citizens of the ancient town made a road of stone, which played the role of the present quays, accumulating sand on both sides. The present islands of St. Ivan and St. Peter were probably one formation. Between them and the shore there were probably two more islands, which existed till the 18th c. The local population called them Milos and Gata. Today they are destroyed by the sea.
