The administrative centre Byala is a quiet and pretty sea town with magnificent beaches, clean sea air and beautiful surroundings. The lack of industry guarantees the ecological purity of the region.

The oldest signs of life go back to the 6th c. BC, around the cape of St. Atanas. Recent archaeological excavations unearthed an ancient settlement and a cult centre, a temple, ritual fire-places and an antique fortress.

Scientists suppose the name Byala (Aspro) comes from the natural characteristics of the region - white coasts at the bay and Beli (White) Cape.

Byala is a traditional vine-growing region. Wine production belongs to the most important livelihoods. The large vineyards secure the production of the famous regional wines. There is a winery in the town where wines may be tasted.
