Other Facilities :
Money Exchange
You will get a better rate of exchange if you bring English notes and exchange them in the local bank. There is one sited directly under the apartment but do remember to bring some Leva with you for your first night in case the banks are closed. The hotel also has a money exchange but the rates are better at the bank. You may also use your cards in the cash machines at the banks below the apartment. There will be a charge from your bank so take out the maximum which is 400 Leva equivalent to 200 pounds per day.
Eating Out
It is amazingly cheap to eat and drink out and you will find that new Nessebar is a lot cheaper than old Nessebar, also a couple of streets back from the beach is much cheaper than the beachfront bars and restaurants. For example a beer may range from £1 on the beach to 30p a few streets back. Order Bulgarian vodka or Gin – its half the price and just as good. In the restaurants most of the menus have photographs of the dish which is helpful. Everything is ordered individually, for example if you order meat you have to choose which type of potatoes you want separately. The range of salads are great as well, and you get large helpings – too much usually for one. It is common for a meal for 4 adults including wine to be around £25-£30 pounds. It is usual to give a 10% or so tip, and with those prices that is never usually a problem.
Shopping
Nessebar/Sunny Beach has everything you need for your holiday, but if you are looking for a wider choice of clothes, handbag and shoe shops head to Bourgas where they have a nice pedestrianised shopping street. Top quality leather UK handbags normally £60 are only £20 in Bourgas. Shoes are good quality too and a real bargain. Trendy jeans can be bought for around £12. Mens shirts are another good buy and very stylish. Many of the shops stock a mix of mens, womens and children’s clothing so it always worth going in for a look! You can find a nice selection of glassware and leather goods here too. The same applies to Nessebar and it is much nearer if you don’t want a trip to the city. The prices in Nessebar tend to be cheaper than Sunny Beach.
Buses and Taxis
At Panorama Beach you can hail a taxi right outside the entrance to the apartment block, try to agree a price with the taxi driver first – they can spot a tourist easily and tend to increase the price – so try your hand at haggling! The local bus stop is nearby (35p per person approx) a very cheap way to get to to Sunny Beach or Bourgas. You may also like to take the fun train or water taxi to Sunny Beach.
Activities and Water Sports in Nessebar/Sunny Beach
There are many activities in Nessebar/Sunny Beach,. you can take a trip on a motor boat or even have an adventure on a “pirate ship”. The full day pirate cruise includes opportunities for swimming and fishing. Breakfast and lunch are provided, as well as beer for adults and soft drinks for the kids. The pirate ship will take you all to a quiet and secluded beach where you can sunbathe, paddle and swim and the kids can pretend to be stranded on an island. Beach-based fun includes water sports such as jet-skis, banana boats, wind-surfing, water skiing, para-sailing and hang gliding. The great thing is that you pay less for your thrills in Nessebar/Sunny Beach than in the more traditional holiday destinations.
Go Karting at Sunny Beach
Just off the main road from Burgas to Varna you will find the Go Kart circuit. The 440 metre track has night lighting and lap timers. For those of you who know your go karts, the club uses karts with an MSkart chassis and a 6.5 hp/200 cc Honda GX engine. The karting track is very easy to find as it is visible from the main road, opposite the Action Aqua park. Prices are very reasonable, starting at 10 lev (5 Euros) for 3 minutes.
