Getting There & Away
There are two bus stations in Pomorie: the main bus station is about 3km outside the town
centre (accessible by local bus 1); regular buses and minibuses between Burgas and Nese-
bâr and/or Sunny Beach (Slânchev Bryag) invariably stop only at the main bus station.
Roughly hourly minibuses marked 'Pomorie Central' leave from Burgas (3 lv, 30
minutes) and Sunny Beach (2 lv, 30 minutes), stopping at Pomorie's small central bus sta-
tion.
Nesebâr
0554 / POP 10,300
On a small rocky outcrop 37km northeast of Burgas, connected to the mainland by a nar-
row, artificial isthmus, pretty-as-a-postcard Nesebâr (Ne-
se
-bar) is famous for its surpris-
ingly numerous, albeit mostly ruined, medieval churches. It has, inevitably, become heav-
ily commercialised, and transforms into one huge, open-air souvenir market during the
high season; outside summer, it's a ghost town. Designated by Unesco as a World Herit-
age site, Nesebâr has its charms, but in summer these can be overpowered by the crowds
and the relentless parade of tacky shops. With Sunny Beach (Slânchev Bryag) just across
the bay, meanwhile, you have every conceivable water sport on hand. The 'new town' on
the other side of the isthmus has the newest and biggest hotels and the main beach, but the
sights are all in the old town.
