Daily life
Nesebar (Nessebar) sits on a rocky Black Sea peninsula connected to the mainland by a narrow sandy isthmus; its historic centre, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1983, is known as the "Pearl of the Black Sea" for its layered Thracian, Greek, Roman, and Byzantine history. Daily planning moves between a walk through the peninsula's streets, the ruined 5th–6th-century Stara Mitropoliya basilica, the fresco-filled Church of St. Stephen, and the 19th-century wooden Black Sea houses.

Transport
Nessebar has no airport of its own; the nearest is Burgas Airport, about 25-26 km to the north. The UNESCO-listed Old Town sits on a small peninsula linked to the mainland only by a narrow causeway (roughly 850 m); cars stay in the car park at the entrance, and everything inside is explored on foot. Cheap local buses run between the new town, the old town, and Sunny Beach; there is no tram. (Sources: UNESCO, Wikivoyage)
