Trip to Nessebar
Hello!
Today I will show you an interesting city on the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria.
On a rocky peninsula 850 m long and 300 m wide, 37 km north of the city of Burgas. Nessebar is divided into two parts: New Nesebar, where most of the modern houses and hotels are located, the resort complex Sunny Beach - and Old Nesebar, located on a small peninsula.
The city of Nesebar is one of the oldest cities in Europe. It is the successor of an ancient Thracian settlement called Mesembria, which existed from the beginning of the first millennium BC. In 510 BC it was converted into a Greek colony.
From antiquity to the present day, the ruins of the fortress wall, towers, gates, reliefs have been preserved. In 1983, the area of the old town of Nessebar was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Intensive archaeological excavations are underway in the old part of the city. During the excavations, the ruins of a church built in the 9th century A.D. were discovered, as well as the remains of Byzantine baths.
You can get to Nessebar from Burgas airport by taxi, only 36 km, or you can fly to Sofia, and then take a bus to Nessebar...
I came here because of the sea and the water park, which is nearby. At the same time, I got great pleasure from the amazing landscapes that could be seen while walking along the coastline...
And finally - a photo of the city at night ;-)
