Nessebar is an ancient city on the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria. In modern times, Nessebar is a major tourist attraction in what has become a popular area with several large resorts- the largest, Sunny Beach, is situated immediately to the north of Nessebar.
The Town of Old Nessebar is set on a small picturesque peninsula linked to the mainland by a narrow neck of land. The architectural style of Old Nessebar immerses tourists in the charming atmosphere of an old-time fishing village. North and south of the peninsula stretch beach strips covered with the finest sand along the Black Sea coast. Nessebar is one of the oldest towns in Bulgaria. Ancient polis Mesambria appears in 6 c. BC in place of a Thracian settlement Menebria. Invaded by the Romans (1 c. BC), conquered by Han Krum in 812 and annexed to the Bulgarian state. Since antiquity to the present day there have been preserved sections of the fortress wall, towers, a gate, sanctuaries, inscriptions, reliefs. Remarkable sites of Nessebar are its medieval churches. In the past these were more than 40, but only a few are still standing. The town's location and nature offer the Old Nessebar visitors a unique combination of plentiful cultural and historic sightseeing opportunities and ideal conditions for leisure and entertainment.
