Old Nessebar — Another Round

Read this post on TravelFeed.io for the best experience


Greetings, friends from around the world!

Coming in with another visual report and a few words about the old town of Nessebar, a UNESCO site on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast. The town is a peninsula, almost an island, really. Connected to the mainland by a narrow strip.

This time, I would like to present a small mental challenge for you. I am going to tell you about the relative location of the places in the photos as I publish these. Can you make mind maps of your own? They shall not be complete. A partial map of a part of the Old Town, at best.

I begin where the strip of land that connects this area to the New Town ends. The first photograph was taken from the bus station right south of the main gate which is the most preserved part of the old fortress.

...And a view towards Sunny Beach at the same time. Go there at your own peril. A place of hotels, more hotels, discos, bars, more discos, more bars, nightlife dangers, more nightlife dangers, even more hotels...

Circling the town, going to the south first, you get past the marina — the harbor area. Fishing boats, a few yachts, and ferries. There's a parking place after that, almost as east as the peninsula goes. Turning to the north, you see some arches and other ruins of ancient times appear as the terrain goes upwards.

Near the amphitheater and the wooden stage, you climb a little bit and hit the narrow streets above but keeping north-east direction.

The street at the bottom of this photograph leads back west towards the center of the town. But you turn back east again and descend towards the shore of the peninsula.

A number of restaurants and decorated bars line that shore.

They are selling the Exotic Dream here. Imagine you are at one of those places on the signs ;)

Reaching the most north-west part of the land we can turn back now and climb once again into the town itself. And hit other narrow streets going towards its center.

Ruins on this side, as well.

Then you walk on cobblestones, between high stone fences.

Ah, the skyline...

Wait! Where are you going, Skyline?

Oh, you are in the center now. One of the best-ruined churches. Funny, but I remember other kinds of stone as a building material from my early childhood and my first visit there. Like lime slates...Or marble...I don't know. I only remember that it was a ghost church for me with some scary presence in my head during my sleep time.

Windowception...a bad pun, I know.

So...did you remember your path?

Thanks for coming!

Some of the time it might look so. It's usually under construction even during the cold seasons and it's quite crowded in summer.
