Sozopol Getting there & around

Getting there & away

The small public bus station (ul Han Krum) is between the old and new towns. Buses leave for Burgas (2.10 lv, 40 minutes) about every 30 minutes between 6am and 9pm in summer, and about once an hour in the low season. Quicker and more comfortable minibuses also service this route for about the same price.

Only a couple of buses a day go directly to Ahtopol (2.50 lv, one hour), via Primorsko (1.40 lv, 20 minutes) and Kiten (1.80 lv, 30 minutes). Public buses leave up to three times a day for Shumen, Stara Zagora, Sofia and Haskovo.

Larger and more comfortable private buses arrive and depart from spots around the new town’s main square. Three or four private buses go to Sofia daily, one or two depart for Plovdiv, and another one or two travel up and down the southern coast as part of the overnight Haskovo–Ahtopol service.
