Overlooking the sea on the
southeastern end of the peninsula, the 'Golden Fleece' serves a varied menu, including
roast lamb and rabbit plus some inventive seafood dishes, such as octopus with blueberry
sauce.
Shopping
In summer, almost every street of Nesebâr's old town is lined with hundreds of stalls
selling all kinds of tourist tat, from cheeky t-shirts and knock-off watches to embroideries,
pottery and paintings. The range is impressive, but price-wise it's far better to shop almost

Getting There & Away
Nesebâr is well connected to coastal destinations by public transport, and the town's bus
station is on the small square just outside the city walls. The stop before this on the main-
land is for the new town. From the bus station, there are buses to nearby Sunny Beach (1
lv, 10 minutes, every 15 minutes), Burgas (6 lv, 40 minutes, every 30 minutes), Varna (15
lv, two hours, seven daily) and Sofia (30 lv, seven hours, several daily).
Fast Ferry
(

Sozopol (one way/return from 27/54 lv, 30 minutes, three to four daily) and Varna (one
way/return 45/90 lv, 1½ hours, two daily).

peractive answer to the Spanish
costas
, and probably the most expensive place in the
country. The appeal is clear, though, with several kilometres of sandy beach that attracts

of Bulgaria's finest, with every imaginable activity from minigolf to parasailing, and res-
taurants and clubs abound. If you're just looking to top up your tan by day and go club-
