Neseber and Sozopol...

Nesebar is one of the oldest towns in Europe, well known with its antiquity and exotic monuments, its fascinating architecture of the Middle Ages and the National Revival period. The town is situated on a small rocky peninsula in the Northern part of the Burgas bay. In 1956 Nesebar was proclaimed an archaeological and architectural reserve and in 1983 the cultural monuments of the town were included in the list of UNESCO.

Sozopol is another ancient town on the Black Sea. The town itself is beautiful, but I thought Nesebar was much more impressive. But as for the beach, Sozopol just topped my list.

Both places are major tourist attractions in the Burgas Bay. And when the true summer months hit, you will find yourself surrounded by Germans, Brits, Americans, and of course Bulgarian tourists soaking up the sun and taking in the charm of these 2 cities...just like we did.
