History:
The present site of Sveti Vlas was originally a fishing village, founded in the 2nd century by the Greek population, and its original name was Larissa. The name Sveti Vlas came into use only in the 14th century. The town was predominantly Greek until the 20th century, when most of the local Greeks emigrated back to Greece.
