Most people have no idea that there is a 3200-year-old ancient town near Sunny Beach, Bulgaria, Reports Georgi Spasov from Hebros News
"Sunny Beach has been a favourite place for tourists from Europe for decades. Most of them regularly visit the resort because of its splendid weather, excellent hotels, and delicious cuisine. Young people can have fun around the clock and all this is at top prices," says Ivan Dashev , who is a partner in the largest regional food market chain "Janet". Fresh produce and a large variety of beverages reach hotels, restaurants and supermarkets directly from his warehouses. Fishermen provide "Janet" regularly with locally sourced fresh fish and seafood from the Black Sea.
Recently interviewed by Forbes Magazine, the Bulgarian Businessman, has been asked about his business and the type of customers they have.
"The foreigners are fond of fresh Bulgarian fruits and vegetables. In addition to traditional foods, we offer thousands of products from around the world. More than 3,200 alcoholic beverages are offered by "Janet" Food Market chain. Some of the items are award winning, with golden medals for quality. And all this is at very affordable prices," he adds.
Many tourists have a lot of fun and enjoy the entertainment Sunny Beach has to offer, but they don't know that the southern part of the resort lies on the peninsula of the ancient town of Nessebar. It originated more than 3,200 years ago and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The town was inhabited at the end of the Bronze Age, and according to legends, it's the birthplace of the author of fables Aesop, who is of Thracian origin.
To this day, parts of the fortress wall of the peninsula, the churches, the remains of the Mesembria fortress, an authentic windmill and houses where the local people live, remain intact.
"A thousand – year history marks each step in the ancient town of Nessebar – legendary battles, victories, losses. Preserved archaeology and artefacts are invaluable. Entrance to Old Nessebar is free for tourists, and there, in the very heart of town, you can be accommodated in boutique houses at low prices," explains Ivan Dashev , who was born and lives in Nessebar.
Near Nessebar there are sand dunes, which are in the cadastre of natural phenomena. Among the rare and protected by law plants are the Sand Lilies and the Sea Watling Street Thistle. Everyone can see them live in their natural habitat.
In 2022, the South Beach of Nessebar was also certified with the world standard of cleanliness "Blue Flag".
The fans of luxury can choose Sveti Vlas for their holiday. The resort town is located to the north of Sunny Beach. Boats of the highest class are moored in the marina of Sveti Vlas (StVlas), and the restaurants in the area offer five-star entertainment.
"On the territory of the Nessebar region, the tourists can be amazed by a variety of experiences. It's a complex of sea, forest, ancient history, top entertainment and a proper hotel base found in very few countries. People who prefer more secluded and peaceful places also have a choice. The town of Obzor and the village of Ravda offer excellent accommodation, family restaurants and clean beaches with lots of fun for the children," adds Ivan Dashev .
The youngest tourists definitely remain huge fans of Sunny Beach, where nightlife competes with the world's most famous destinations.
There are plenty of water sports and attractions, and prices are the lowest in Europe . Besides the large beach, the hotels have swimming pools, aqua parks, tennis courts, and playgrounds for various sports. Excursions by land, sea and air are also available.
Sunny Beach is surrounded by mountains and forests, making it a unique place with clean water and air.
Burgas International Airport is located 27 km from Sunny Beach, and there are hundreds of flights to and from European cities daily.
"All the towns and villages in the region are ready for the summer season. Last year, tourists were able to see for themselves the safety and peacefulness of the area. They had a carefree time and went home happy, tanned and relaxed. This is what makes Bulgaria an attractive and desirable destination for European tourists. "-concludes Ivan Dashev .
