Touring in Burgas
Burgas is the transport hub of Bulgaria's southern Black Sea coast, sitting almost exactly between two of the region's best day-trip destinations. Nessebar, a UNESCO World Heritage old town of medieval churches and wooden houses on a narrow peninsula, lies about 40 kilometers north, while the quieter fishing town of Sozopol, with its ancient Apollonia ruins and seaside lanes, sits roughly 30 kilometers south. Burgas itself offers the palm-lined Sea Garden park and the pedestrian streets of Aleko Bogoridi for those who want to stay closer to port.
A private Burgas shore excursion lets you choose between Nessebar's old town, Sozopol's ancient streets, or a slower morning in Burgas itself, rather than following one fixed group itinerary. Your private vehicle, driver, and licensed English-speaking guide can build the day around whichever destination interests you most, with time to wander cobbled lanes at your own pace. All Burgas shore excursions include our back-to-ship guarantee, so a day spent along Bulgaria's southern coast never puts your return to the ship in question.
