Today’s stop is in Burgas, Bulgaria. Valerie decided we should visit the nearby UNESCO world heritage town of Nessebar. We declined the ship transfer and opted to take the public bus (#10). We were a bit worried that we would have trouble finding the bus station, but it happened to be right next to the cruise port and train station.

We walked around the old town for a while, taking pictures with its copious churches. We admired the appropriately named Sunny Beach across the bay. Finally, we ate lunch at a place we found on TripAdvisor before heading back to Burgas.

With some free time before all-aboard, we walked around downtown Burgas. We were surprised to find nice, well-trafficked pedestrian friendly walkways lined with restaurants and shops. Compared to Constanta, Burgas is quite nice. And Bulgaria seems less expensive than Romania as well. We stopped by a nice bakery for some cheap and delicious baked goods before heading back to the ship. Burgas is actually a nice town to walk around in and definitely a much nicer place to visit than Constanta.
