Description
Begin your tour with a pickup from your hotel in Sunny Beach and head to the Khan’s Tent complex, located at the foot of the mountain. From this high vantage point, enjoy panoramic views of the entire Sunny Beach complex and the peninsula where the old Mesamvria is located, as Nessebar was once called.
Next, head to Nessebar, and enjoy a panoramic tour of the main street of Sunny Beach along the way. See the northern, central, and southern parts of the town and learn about the creation of the largest resort in Bulgaria, its history, and its present.
After a short trip, pass through the new part of Nessebar to reach the old town, where your walking tour will begin. Founded more than 3,200 years ago, Nessebar is the only Bulgarian city included in the UNESCO list.
After a short presentation of the city by your guide, start the tour from the Revival Orthodox Church “St. Theotokos”, the only functioning church in the Old Town. See the famous icon of the Mother of God, the so-called “Black Mother of God”, which is believed to be one of three similar icons preserved in the world.
Continue with a visit to the church of St. Sophia, also called the “Old Metropolis”. Only walls and columns have been preserved from it, but even from this impressive view, it becomes clear why for more than 1,000 years the city has been a leading religious center with about 40 churches.
Your guide will show you several other churches, preserved for generations and turned into museums, around which there are many interesting stories, legends, and beliefs.
During the tour, cross the whole city, which is about 350 meters wide, and enjoy free time to try the local cuisine and buy souvenirs. Finally, return to your hotel in Sunny Beach.
