Nesebar

Nesebar is a little town positioned on what was once an island before it was connected to the mainland with an artificial spit about 2000 years ago. The island is only 700m by 300m and is a really well preserved old town chock full of ruined Byzantine era churches. We tried at first to get our bearings in the windy roads by going 'Ah, that's that amazing ruined church we walked past earlier' only to realize it was in fact another ruin entirely-cool.
We had read that Nesebar was probably going to be the most expensive place we visited in Bulgaria so we had our teeth gritted when we went to find a place to stay but ended up getting a modern double room with a balcony and an amazing view on the waterfront for 30 leva (about $25 AUD). Yay for offseason pricing! Apparantly the town comes up really well on Google earth and you can see the reefs around the spit. There are ruins underwater as well which were submerged several thousand years ago when the sea level rose, the diving would be incredible off here.
After crawling all over the town seeing the ruins and the fishing boats coming in with their catches and selling them straight from the dock we settled in on our balcony to watch the sun set. We really had a magic time in Nesebar.
