Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This church is sitting outside of tourist's roads - just behind of the Post office on the central square of Sveti Vlas. Very quiet place but open almost always. Nice people working there and very old paintings inside. Ask for a permission to photograph.

with an apse set up the slope of St Vlas. Very well attended as worshippers had to stand outside. Had a pleasant rustic feel and women all wore head scarfs.

It was quite a long uphill walk but really worthy it. They gardens were being tended by locals, who gave us big smiles and hellos. The church inside was cool and serene. Covered in icons, pictures and the odd relic. Such a beautiful place.

When you realise that with 2 of the 5 things to do in the town is to visit the churches it sets the tempo of the place.
Accept it and enjoy it.
Yes the churches are serene, cool, really welcome and somehow well worth the visit.
Immaculately kept this is the less elaborate of the two but with a more local feel.
A welcome break from people watching and sun worshiping. Give it a try.

How do you reach these churches and Sveti Vlas from the Riu ClubHotel Helios Paradise - please - do you turn left or right when you leave the hotel and how far is it to walk.

Здравствуйте! Можно ли обвенчаться в вашей церкви во второй половине августа? мы будем без свидетелей. Спасибо

Этого я не знаю. Попробуйте адресовать вопрос непосредственно настоятелю храма. Полагаю, электронный адрес можно найти на сайте.
