[2025 Nessebar Attraction] Travel Guide for Old Nessebar (Updated Apr)

Situated on a rocky peninsula on the Black Sea, the more than 3,000-year-old site of Nessebar was originally a Thracian settlement (Menebria). At the beginning of the 6th century BC, the city became a Greek colony. The city’s remains, which date mostly from the Hellenistic period, include the acropolis, a temple of Apollo, an agora and a wall from the Thracian fortifications. Among other monuments, the Stara Mitropolia Basilica and the fortress date from the Middle Ages, when this was one of the most important Byzantine towns on the west coast of the Black Sea. Wooden houses built in the 19th century are typical of the Black Sea architecture of the period. #wecreate

Connected to the mainland by a narrow isthmus, Nessebar is steeped in history, with over 3,000 years of continuous habitation. The Windmill, which was built in the 19th century, is a symbol of the town's rich cultural heritage. Add this #beautifuldestination to your #travelbucketlist 🌎

#traveldiaries I recently spent a day in Nessebar Old Town, Bulgaria, and it was a delightful trip back in time! 🏰 This UNESCO World Heritage site is packed with charming cobblestone streets, ancient churches, and beautiful sea views. The entrance to the town is free, which is fantastic considering the rich history you can explore. Wandering through the narrow alleys, I stumbled upon quaint shops selling local crafts and delicious seafood restaurants. I highly recommend trying the fresh fish at a seaside taverna! 🐟 The highlight for me was visiting the Church of St. John the Baptist, with its stunning frescoes. After exploring, I enjoyed a lovely walk along the waterfront, soaking in the sunset. Nearby, you can also visit the ancient ruins of the old fortifications. If you’re in Bulgaria, don’t miss this gem! #trip #Nessebar #OldTown #Bulgaria #CulturalHeritage #TravelDiaries

There is something incredibly romantic about watching the sunset by the sea. Here I have captured the sun setting over peaceful waters in my hometown - Nessebar, a pearl in the crown of the Black Sea. If you have never been to Bulgaria and visited the old town of Nessebar - protected under UNESCO for its incredible history and architecture - then you need to change that. This Bulgarian seaside town has a lot to offer for anyone who loves good food, culture, history and the sea, of course. My personal favourite part of town is the marina and walking down the isthmus connecting the new and old part - something which only happened by boat back in the day #myvlogtrip #tripblazers

Admit it, when you are planning a trip in Europe, you would usually consider countries such as France, Spain, Italy or Germany. Maybe even Greece or Turkey. But what if I told you there is a hidden pearl in the crown of the Black Sea? This is 📍Nessebar, Bulgaria. A small town right on the Black Sea with mighty history and marks left by Romans, Byzantines and Turks... Oh, and don't get me started on the food, especially fresh seafood and good wine. Or the local rakia - a spirit made from grapes, plums or other fruit (not for the faint-hearted!). Let's leave the history and food for another post. For now, enjoy these magnificent sea views. ♥️ #tripblazers #summervacation
