TransportThe walk and information was intended and the guide knowledgeable and friendly. The break at the end for refreshment was a bit of a waste of time, we were served with a yoghurt, a drink would have been more preferable. The evening was good fun, though it may have easier to be sat in your nation groups as communication was. Slight barrier also combing to language tours was difficult when on the bus with two guides talking at the same time.
This tour packs in heritage, culture and folklore during your visit to Nessebar. And after exploring this historic town – known as the ‘pearl of the Black Sea' – you'll end your day on a scintillating high with a full-throated Bulgarian village feast.
You'll begin with a guided walking tour of Nessebar old town of, which is crammed into a narrow peninsula jutting out into the Black Sea. Such is its wealth of history that Nessebar is a UNESCO World Heritage Site – it's about the same size as the Vatican but with more churches. Winding streets and alleys of old timber homes lead you to tree-lined plazas with ruined Byzantine churches. There'll be some free time before the day's climax.
We'll then head to a nearby village for a proper Bulgarian banquet at a folk-themed restaurant. The highlight of the evening, tough, is the performance by the ‘nestinari' – those who dance barefoot over the smouldering embers of a fire.
