PRACTICAL INFORMATION

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

If you travel by airplane your options are Burgas (Sarafovo Airport), Varna or Sofia. If you decide to land at Burgas or Varna you will be picked up by a member of our staff, if you give us your flight details in advance. The distances to Nessebar from Burgas and Varna are respectively 35 an 110 km. Unfortunately, you would have to manage your own transportation to Burgas if you land at Sofia Airport. You can do that by taking an airplane (more info at www.air.bg) or a bus (www.centralnaavtogara.bg). We will greet you either at the Burgas’ main bus station or Sarafovo airport.
