We may prefer to use plastic credit cards everywhere we go now, but Old Nessebar is where bronze and silver money was first used in trade.
Wander the cobblestone streets and soak up the Balkan sun and the ancient city’s old-world charm. Wedged between the more “modern” buildings, you’ll find old Byzantine churches, like the Church of Virgin Eleusa, Church of St. Sofia, and the Old Metropolitan Church. Venture to the ancient central hall, or the ancient baths. Don’t miss a chance to see the windmill, visit the fortress and the city’s Roman and medieval walls.
