Briefly about Nessebar
One of the oldest European cities, founded more than 5 centuries ago. The resort is located on a rocky peninsula and is conditionally divided into 2 territories. Most hotels, including Riviera Nessebar 3 *, are located in the new part, and the historical center falls on the old one.
Most of the city was subjected to natural disasters - earthquakes. Only ruins of aqueducts, towers, ancient walls and temples remind of former glory. On the old streets of Nessebar you can see the stone bases and protruding wooden bay windows. But it is these architectural ruins that cause great interest among tourists staying at the Riviera Nessebar 3 * hotel (Bulgaria). Nessebar, judging by the reviews, amazes with the magical combination of medieval churches and Renaissance houses. All this has turned the city into a tourist pilgrimage center.
Also, the advantage of the resort is associated with the relatively inexpensive cost of permits. Private 2 * and 3 * hotels will save on accommodation without compromising comfort.
