The old town of Nessebar (Bulgaria)

Hello friends. Today I will show you another extremely beautiful and interesting place in Bulgaria, namely the old town of Nessebar.

This is an extremely special place, and is one of my favorite destinations I have visited in Bulgaria. I have been there at least 5 times in the last few years and every time I feel the same feelings of l admiration for this wonderful place in Bulgaria, which make me come back there again and again. In order not to cheat on myself this summer as well, returning from a sea holiday in the nearby resort of Primorsko, my friends and I decided to make a short trip to the old town of Nessebar.

The old town is located on a small peninsula in the sea. We pass along the isthmus that connects the old and the new hour of Nessebar.The pedestrian alleys on both sides of the isthmus are one of the favorite places for photos and for a walk of thousands of tourists in the summer.In the middle of this transition we see the ancient windmill, which over the years has become a symbol of the city.

My friends and I arrive around 3:00 p.m.

At the entrance of the city we are greeted by the majestic ruins of a medieval fortress wall.

Once we find a place to park our car car, our walk begins from here.

The place is just fabulous and magical.The city has a unique preserved ancient architecture. We walk along charming, narrow cobbled streets lined with stones.

We are surrounded by beautiful old houses with interesting architecture. Their base is of stone, and the upper floors are entirely of wood.

Today we see on some of the houses and signs of modern construction and motifs, but still to a large extent, their authentic vision is preserved.

Many of them have been transformed into small family restaurants, souvenir shops, cafes, and private accommodation. Others have been turned into interesting museums.

According to historians, Nessebar is one of the oldest Christian cities in Europe.The remains of many Christian churches and temples testify to its centuries-old history, and here you can also see the ruins of medieval Roman baths.

The churches and temples are one of the most interesting and impressive attractions for visitors to Nessebar.Some of them are in very good condition. Others have been completely restored and some have been turned into museums.

We pass Piazza Mesembria. Here master beekeepers offer their products and you can buy a variety of copper products, wax souvenirs and various ointments.

We continue our walk to the coast of the sea.

At the end of our tour, we head to the old port.

This is the end of our romantic adventure.With a great deal of sadness we are heading home, but we promise himself to let's go back here again next summer.

The old town Nessebar has been declared an architectural and historical reserve of national importance.It is also on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
