Sandanski (Bulgarian: Сандански, formerly Свети Врач, Sveti Vrach) is a town and recreation centre in southwestern Bulgaria, part of Blagoevgrad Province. Named after Bulgarian revolutionary Yane Sandanski, it is located in a valley at the foot of Pirin, on both banks of the Sandanska Bistritsa. Another famous native son was Spartacus, the Roman slave who launched an uprising in 73-71BC.

Sandanski's favourable position, suitable climate (with the highest average annual temperature in the country, +14,70°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.
