The Church of Saint Stephen (Sveti Stefan) is one of the most magnificent medieval churches constructed in the UNESCO World Heritage listed historic city of Nessebar. It’s well worth taking your time to visit.
The Church of the Holy Saviour (Sveti Spas) is located in the UNESCO World Heritage listed historic city of Nessebar. This small stone church was built by the Bulgarians in 1609.
Nessebar is a UNESCO World Heritage site because it contains a wealth of medieval churches in the historic city. A few were built by the Byzantines and others are in the Byzantine style built by the Bulgarians.
The UNESCO World Heritage listed ancient peninsula of Nessebar is mostly known for its medieval churches, but there are plenty of other attractions. This post will highlight things to see other than the medieval churches.
Nessebar is one of the biggest tourist destinations in Bulgaria. This small UNESCO World Heritage listed town is situated on a peninsula in the Black Sea connected by a tiny artificial isthmus and is known for its high concentration of medieval churches.
The Burgas seaside is a great place to spend a sunny day. Unfortunately, on the day I visited, it was gray and rainy, but I still enjoyed wandering around the gardens overlooking the beach.
Burgas doesn’t have many intriguing sights in the city center, but what it lacks in attractions it makes up for with charm.
Burgas is a city on Black Sea coast and the fourth largest in Bulgaria. There isn’t much to see in the city itself, but it has a decent beach and makes a great base for day trips to places like Nessebar, Sozopol, Pomorie, and Sunny Beach.
Kaliakra is a narrow cape with stunning views of the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. It’s a nature reserve and archaeological site with steep cliffs plunging 70m down to the sea.
Kavarna (Каварна) is a small Black Sea resort town in northeastern Bulgaria. Although I didn’t make it as far as the beach, I stopped and took a quick look at the town on my way to visit nearby Cape Kaliakra.
