The Archaeological Reserve Yailata is located 2 km south of the village of Kamen Bryag (about 18 km northeast of the town of Kavarna). The reserve covers an area of 300 000 m2 and is a large ledge near the sea, from which is separated by cliffs with a height of 50-60 meters.
At the area of Yalata there are many interesting historical sites dating from different eras of human existence - from 6 millennium BC until the XI century. Among the most interesting objects are "the cave city" from 101 cave dwellings dated to the period around the 5th millennium BC, an Early Byzantine fortress from the V century, numerous caves used during the Middle Ages as a monastery complex, Thracian necropolis and others.
Yalata area was declared an architectural reserve in 1989.
