One hour from Burgas : Ahtopol
The best time to visit Burgas is from the beginning of June until the end of September. The city as such presents little attraction except for the large, lush, airy sea garden and the long, fine sanded beach, which is normally crowded in the Summer. But Burgas can serve as a good base to visit nearby beaches south of the town, while avoiding camping in tents or bungalows.
BOOK A FLIGHT
By Air
Burgas has its own airport, which during the Summer is connected with direct flights to London-Luton, Copenhagen, Budapest, Moscow, St Petersburg and Oslo. The flights from Sofia are 17 per week. From the airport you could take a cab to the town center (up to 10 eur), or a bus (0,5 eur), which reaches the central train station in the middle of the town.
Where to stay
Burgas is in general less luxurious experience than Varna, but you can still find an appropriate hotel for your class. The nicest ones are located around the sea garden and at the main pedestrian streets Bogoridi and Alexandrovska.
