Nessebar is the perfect place if you want to spend a relaxing day walking around and taking in the (old) culture. The preserved ruins of a dozen churches meet you at every fork in the road, while little old houses with wooden doors and cobblestone streets add their village charm to the mix. Everything smells like roses (a national pride... More

The old part of Nessebar was the highlight of our visit and certainly a great experience, which should not be missed. Most impressive features were the old churches, the museum the houses, restaurants and shops which sold a great range of souvenirs.

I was in Nessbar before the main tourist season started so there were hardly any tourists. This of course added on the whole experience. I am not sure how the town feels during the high season but I definitely reccomend visit in April.

Very nice trip to the old city. You can find a lot of shops and great restaurants. You can find a lot of things if you walk at the small streets. The price is fair for a trip like this.

Old Nessebar in Summer is a bustling market town with many stalls selling typical Bulgarian souvenirs and it is easy to miss the history behind it. Early in the season and especially out of season you really see the beauty of it and often spot old churches and buildings that it is easy to miss in the summer. Some good... More

After crossing Sunny Beach, full of modern hotels you end up in Nessebar - a small peninsula where some medieval building are well-preserved and form a beautiful place to spend an hour, a day or even a holiday. The beach is pretty narrow, but the water is very clean. Restaurants serve all type of food and prices are OK. Lots... More
