Cheap Bourgas Holidays and Deals

The fact that Nessebar is a UNESCO World Heritage Site packed with ancient artefacts means that it’s a total contrast to newer resorts such as Sunny Beach. Often compared to Dubrovnik in Croatia, Nessebar's cobbled streets are utterly enchanting and the town's terracotta rooftops, medieval churches and stunning seafront setting make for a great day trip or evening out. While you’re there you can shop for traditional crafts at the string of street stalls, enjoy fantastic seafood at the popular taverna Plakamoto or finish the day off with a sunset cruise along the coast.

The charming seaside town of Obzor offers beautiful beaches similar to the lively Sunny Beach, but has a more laid-back vibe that's popular with families. Luckily, Obzor is just as popular today as it was when the Roman Emperors holidayed here, thanks to its 8km-long Black Sea beach backed by the Stara Planina Mountains and a palm-lined promenade with cafés, hotel bars and restaurants.

Escape the crowds and head to this superb surfing beach, located 3km from southern seaside town Sozopol. Being a part of a camping site, this laid-back stretch of beach charges a small fee to enter. It’s home to a surf school for those who want to test out the waters and learn to windsurf along the deep blue sea. There are a few restaurants serving sandwiches and snacks too for when you need something to charge the batteries.

Solar Summer Festival is one of the most popular summer music and dance festivals in Europe and attracts all the best bits of Ibiza to the Black Sea coast. You’ll see 10,000 people dancing in the moonlight to famous DJs such as Fatboy Slim and Fede Le Grand, with the party kicking off on Cacao Beach every year.

One of the best things about Bulgaria is there is a town and beach to suit everyone. For those who love to get away from it all, the village of Sinemorets is a tranquil spot on the south-eastern edge of the Bulgarian coast. Around an hour's drive south of Bourgas it sits pretty between two stretches of golden beach and the slow-paced village is perfect for those in search of a little tranquility. The spectacular Strandzha Nature Park is just a stone's throw away.

Aqua Paradise in Nessebar is the biggest waterpark in Bulgaria and a great place for all the family to enjoy some fun in the sun! Whether you choose to terrify yourself on the near-vertical Kamikaze slide or opt for a drift round the lazy river, the park is a great day out. Alternatively, try Action Aquapark at the Aqua Nevis Club hotel, just a five-minute drive from Sunny Beach.
