Sandanski (Bulgarian: Сандански, formerly, until 1949 Свети Врач, Sveti Vrach) is a town and a recreation centre in south-western Bulgaria, part of Blagoevgrad Province. Named after revolutionary Yane Sandanski, it is located in a valley at the foot of Pirin Mountain, on both banks of the Sandanska Bistritsa River.
Sandanski's favourable position, suitable climate (with the highest average annual temperature in the country, +14.1°C) and the concentration of mineral water springs in the area are all reasons for the town's fame as a centre for relaxation and recreation.
