Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Burgas
Burgas is the working heart of Bulgaria's southern Black Sea coast, a port city that has never quite decided whether it is industrial or seaside, and the answer is a little of both. The long Sea Garden, laid out in the late nineteenth century, runs along the cliff above the beach and is lined with statues, flowerbeds and cafes, and the pier at the end juts out into the bay like an invitation. The old railway station, with its fine early twentieth-century frontage, is a reminder of the city's role as a trading hub.

2. Ancient City of Nessebar
Nessebar sits on a small rocky peninsula that sticks out into the Black Sea, joined to the mainland by a narrow causeway, and the whole of the old town is an open-air museum. Greek colonists from Megara founded it in the sixth century BC, calling it Mesembria, and it passed through Thracian, Roman, Byzantine, Bulgarian and Ottoman hands. Its position, with a good harbour and a defensible rock, made it a valued port for two and a half thousand years. UNESCO listed the old town in 1983.
