South from Nesebar, beyond Aheloi , the road passes the salt-pans surrounding Lake Pomorie, one of Bulgaria's main sources of salt, and renowned for its therapeutic mud baths . Sited upon a peninsula beside the lake, POMORIE (pronounced "Pah-mor-ye") would probably resemble Nesebar if it hadn't been gutted by fire in 1906 and rebuilt in concrete during the 1950s. Pomorie's ancient precursor, Anchialos, was founded by the Apollonians, became rich through the export of salt and wine, and found favour in the Roman era as an exclusive health resort. The lakeside sanatorium remains important to the local economy, as does another speciality of long standing, the locally produced aromatic dry Pomoriiski Dimyat wine . Apart from an abundance of private rooms and an underused stretch of beach, however, there's little in modern Pomorie to justify a stopover.
