Balchik Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Balchik’s bus station (74 069) is at the top of ul Cherno More, a steep 1km walk from the port. Minibuses travel from Balchik to Albena (2 lv, 20 minutes, every 30 minutes), Varna (4 lv, one hour, hourly) and Dobrich (4 lv, 45 minutes, every 45 minutes). There are also eight buses a day to Kavarna (3 lv, 30 minutes) and two to Sofia (20 lv, 10 hours). Rather more conveniently, minibuses to Albena also call at the bus stop on ul Primorska, outside the supermarket. Note that more frequent minibuses travelling from Varna to Kavarna/Shabla stop at the bus shelter opposite the bus station, although no information is posted here; ask at the bus station for times.
