Varna to Ancient Nessebar and Sunny Beach: Private day trip

Nessebar has it all - sunny beaches, amazing architecture and a truly rich historical background. No wonder the city is a popular holiday destination for many. Originally a Thracian settlement, it became a Greek colony around the 6th century BC - a heritage preserved to this day by the acropolis or the temple of Apollo. St. Sophia basilica from the 5th-century and the 6th-century Church of the Virgin tell a tale of a Byzantine presence in the city, while the wooden houses are a reminder of Ottoman rule. These sights, and many others, helped Nessebar to earn its place as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today, visitors can admire these monuments, learn about the city's past in the local archaeological museum, and enjoy a cup of coffee while soaking in views of the Black Sea.
