Nessebur, Bulgaria

Nesebar is an ancient city on the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria, located in Nesebar municipality, Burgas Province. It is a major tourist attraction in what has become a popular area with several large resorts—the largest, Sunny Beach, is situated immediately to the north of Nesebar.

Nesebar boasts ancient buildings and historical monuments as well as quiet restaurants and fashionable cafes and discos. The old part of the town has regained its original romantic atmosphere: narrow cobblestone lanes, tiny squares, two-storey period houses with stone-built ground levels and wooden upper floors jutting above the streets and external staircases, gift shops, pubs, tavern and lovely flower gardens.
