Sightseeing in Sunny Beach - what to see. Complete travel guide

One of the most popular resorts in Bulgaria, Sunny Beach is an award-winning location famous for its excellent climatic and environmental conditions. The nature here is truly unique and beautiful architectural buildings are the perfect complement. In this city are opened more than a hundred of hotels and hotel complexes. There is a well-equipped beach on the territory of each one. Many hotels are open in historic buildings, but there are also completely new constructions that offer not only comfortable rest, but also all needed facilities for business meetings.

The most beautiful beaches are located in the northern part of the island. Beautiful Stara Planina Mountain is located very close to the coast. Here visitors can always make a break from the hot sun and walk among picturesque foothills. The majority historical sites and old buildings are located in the southern part of the city. From this point of view the settlement named Nessebar is particularly notable. This is one of the oldest parts of Europe, and so first settlements on its territory appeared over five thousand years ago. Among the relics of the past are the survived fragments of fortified walls built by the Thracians, several medieval churches and Renaissance buildings. Nessebar is included into the World Heritage List, so this is a real pride of Bulgaria and Europe.

Besides beach rest and numerous attractions, Sunny Beach is famous for its health centers, where anyone can undergo examination and treatment procedures. Rest with health benefits will provide tourists with a wide range of sports activities including water skiing, scuba diving, windsurfing, bike tours, and modern fitness centers, tennis courts, basketball and football pitches that allow everyone to find the activity to fit one’s taste.
