The article calculates the freshwater balance of the ancient Black and Caspian seas and estimates the volume of water flowing from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean during the melting of glaciers. It is shown that during this period up to 855 km3/year of freshwater is discharged into the Mediterranean Sea, which is involved in the formation of sea level. A comparison of calculations and geological data showed that there are no signs of the influx of salty ocean water into the Akchagyl Sea. It was also shown that water from the ocean cannot flow up since the sea level was below sea level.

Palaeogeographic maps of the lacustrine Miocene and Pliocene have been constructed according to all the known geological data. The Lakes of the Balkan Land, depending on the tectonics, migrated due to causes from the deep subsurface. There are several phases of the Miocene lakes: the lowermost Miocene transiting from marine Oligocene, Lower, Middle, Upper Miocene covering, in patches, the main part of the Land. The Pliocene lakes spread mostly to the north of the Balkan Land and covered only its marginal parts. Other lake-like sediments, in fact freshened parts of the Black Sea Kuialnician (Upper Pliocene), stretched along the middle and southern portions of the Balkan Peninsula (to the south of the Balkan Mt.). Subsequently, the Balkan Peninsula was formed.

St. Ivan and St. Peter islands are located in the Black Sea at about 1200 m N-NW of the old town of Sozopol. There are many archeological structures on the St. Ivan island, in the same time the data on the archeological heritage of the St. Peter island are very scarce. In this research we present information about the archeological and geological features of both islands, with the focus of St. Peter, and probable reasons why the islands are separated from each other from a geological point of view.
