Nessebar Shore Excursions - UNESCO Old Town & Pomorie Cruise Excursions

Nessebar's old town sits on a narrow, rocky peninsula on Bulgaria's Black Sea coast, and its history runs deeper than almost anywhere else on this stretch of coastline. Founded as a Thracian settlement more than 3,000 years ago before becoming a Greek colony, Nessebar layered Hellenistic ruins, Byzantine churches, and 19th-century wooden houses across a townscape so well preserved that UNESCO added it to the World Heritage list in 1983. Our Secrets of Nessebar Walking Tour explores this old town on foot, including St. Stefan and St. Spas Church plus the Archeological Museum.

Our Nessebar and Pomorie tour adds the resort town of Pomorie and a visit to a Thracian tomb, with free time in Nessebar for lunch, shopping or exploring. Our Essence of Bulgaria tour combines a Nessebar walking tour with a visit to a small village to meet locals and sample local snacks and drinks, and our Nessebar and Pomorie with Wine Tasting tour adds a Salt Museum and winery visit. All Nessebar shore excursions from Private Shore Trips include an English-speaking guide and private vehicle, with our back-to-ship guarantee on every tour. Reserve with a $50 deposit.
