Bulgaria's Black Sea coast is a treasure trove of ancient towns, historic cities and natural scenery. With so many places to see, this trip to Sozopol by fast ferry is just the ticket. Departing from Nessebar, the ferry whisks you to explore ancient Sozopol.

It's an early start as we head by bus to the harbour at Nessebar to board the ferry. After an hour's cruise on the high-speed passenger catamaran Seacat One you'll be docking in Sozopol. On the ferry there is a bar serving coffee, tea, soft drinks and beer, at your own expense.

Arriving in Sozopol, you'll have time for a guided tour and a tasting of regional Bulgarian wines, before heading for an optional lunch at a local restaurant. After, make the most of the free time to explore at your own pace. Return from Sozopol to Nessebar by fast ferry in the late afternoon.

Expected a Tui sign in coach, but guide reassured us we were on the right trip. Pleasant journey and guide helpful and very knowledgeable. A good experience and well worth it. A bit rough on the crossing back with the wind getting up.

It was an interesting and amazing day spent looking at the churches of sozopol then in the afternoon I had free time to go and explore

The food was fantastic but the guide was very quiet talking while walking around and we didn't hear much. The guide in our opinion should have been louder and talk more on the town .The tour only lasted 45 minutes which left 5 hours to move around and see things which is we thought too long before returning on boat.

Coach arrived roughly on time and then we headed to the fast ferry, which set off once we boarded. Sea was rough, many were ill, but views were lovely. Guides were knowledgeable and patient for the walking tour through a lovely area, followed by lunch. Enough free time to see sights. Storm so coach.

Bardzo slaba przewodniczka- na pytania nie odpowie bo slabo jezyk polski rozumie. Nudna opowiesc o starozytnosci, mnóstwo wolnego czasu, niczym nas nie zainteresowa. Samodzielna wycieczka po Nessebarze byla bardziej ciekawa. Na katamaranie koszmarnie ropa smierdzialo, bylo duszno, sztorm nie umilil podrózy (oczywiscie to czynnik niezalezny). Nie ma co liczyc na urokliwe widoki gdyz katamaran plynie daleko od brzegów. Wyprawa zdecydowanie zbyt droga w stosunku do atrakcji.+ transport spod hotelu
