Introducing Nesebâr
On a small, rocky island 37km northeast of Burgas, connected to the mainland by a narrow, artificial isthmus, pretty-as-a-postcard Nesebâr (Ne-se-bar) is the jewel in the Bulgarian Black Sea crown. Famous for its surprisingly numerous, albeit mostly ruined, medieval churches, it has inevitably become heavily commercialised and is virtually under siege from tour groups and souvenir sellers during the high season. Designated by Unesco as a World Heritage site, Nesebâr is a beautiful town, and also has a handful of interesting museums. Unlike Sozopol, Nesebâr has plenty of decent hotels in the old town, and with Sunny Beach (Slânchev Bryag) just across the bay, you have every conceivable water sport on hand, too.
