The sea town, which has preserved all the charm of the past, will appeal to you if you love romantic walks, beautiful views, historical landmarks. Data on the first settlers in these lands date back to the Bronze Age. From then until today, Nessebar has grown, lost its key importance, was adored, destroyed and rebuilt. That is why when you walk through its ancient streets today you will come across churches, excavations and artifacts from different periods.
We recommend that you visit the Archaeological and Ethnographic Museum, explore the numerous shops of local craftsmen, buy handmade souvenirs and sit in one of the romantic restaurants overlooking the sea.
