New to JY - Bulgaria trip

[oldvic]

I totally appreciate that, Cindy. Our local guide Pavlina would also confirm that having piping hot food is not seen as a problem, as Bulgarians often eat food just warm, as Andy rightly says. Apparently the comments John made about the food are quite common for English tourists in all the local hotels. Tell John he was especially lucky to travel last week as it has turned quite chilly just now!! Apparently the rest of Bulgaria had rain and floods last week!

Hi Everyone, i am going on this trip next month and have today found that a hydrofoil operates between Nessebar and Sozopol of which i am interested in as i am not keen on being on coaches for hours, could anyone tell me how far Sozpol is from Nessebar please. Also can anyone give any details about the evening folklore trip. Thank you

Sozopol is the other side of the bay and about 40 miles by road. Here is the timetable.http://fastferry.bg/page/view/19. You will see that if you are visiting before 30/6 you would have rather a long day in Sozopol, certainly more than you really need. The day excursion to the Ropotomo River nature reserve with boat trip, a lovely lunch in Sozopol and a visit to Burgas is very popular and well worth doing. The outward journey is approx 90 mins, with the return journey in shorter stages via Burgas. Which week are you coming?

Hi again

In that case I will be your tour manager. You first stop at the river, which is a very short walk to the boat, then Sozopol for a lovely lunch which involves a shortish walking tour of the town on the way to the restaurant, then an hour at leisure. You then finally have about an hour in Burgas where you can do as much or as little walking as you wish as you have an hour at leisure there right by the sea and not far from the shops.

Hope this helps

I am not a very good traveller on coaches so that was why i thought of the hydrofoil.Is there a lot of getting off and on the coach.
