Island "St. Ivan", the largest Bulgarian island "St. Ivan" is a kilometer away from Sozopol. It is declared a national archaeological reserve. Next to it, less than 100 meters, is the island "St. Peter", which is supposed to have been part of the island of "St. Ivan", but due to the natural disaster it broke off. "St. Ivan" island was declared a protected area in order to protect rare and endangered species listed in the Red Book of Bulgaria, mostly birds. The island of St. Ivan is obtained by the only population of a special kind of rabbit. The island has a lighthouse, which guides ships to the Bourgas Bay. The island is subject to ongoing archaeological research. Here in 2010 were discovered relics of St. Ivan the Baptist, which are now exhibited for worship in the temple "St. St. Cyril and Methodius" in Sozopol. The medieval Monastery "St. Ivan the Baptist" is under restoration and conservation. The area around the two islands is a favorite spot for diving, because there is a unique underwater phenomenon known as the "stone forest". In a depth of about 20meters there are stone pillars with a diameter of 4-5 meters. Some studies suggest these are trees grown 70 million years ago, which at a certain point were flooded by the sea. It is believed that the water that is covering them did not contain oxygen and instead rotting the giant plants are petrified.
