The Ancient part of Nessebar
The ancient town with millennia-old history is on a romantic rocky peninsula, connected to the mainland via a narrow isthmus.

Nessebar is the historic treasury of Bulgaria and in 1956 it was declared and recognized as museum city – archaeological and architectural reservation.
Today the old part of the town is an attractive place for romantic walks along the narrow cobbled streets, among the little shops offering hand crafted souvenirs – pottery, crocheting, and jewelry. The wonderful ancient ambiance is the background for an unforgettable holiday opportunity.
