I bought a tour for 10 nights with breakfast (bed and breakfast) During the trip I carefully studied "this issue", from the Internet, literally, "did not get out". I only took breakfast so as not to be "attached" to the hotel. You can eat cheaply everywhere. Sometimes a bathhouse and yogurt helped.
I'll start first.
1. Travel agency To be travel.
Special thanks to agent Svetlana. If not for her patience, mild persistence, I probably would not have gone anywhere)))
2. Tour operator Il Tour.
I read a lot of disgusting things about this operator at Turpravda. I do not undertake to judge or expose anyone. I will express my own opinion.

The drivers on the buses changed several times. Only the first Ukrainian driver was disappointed. He was in a hurry, he didn't let me out, but maybe it's not his fault. On the Odessa highway, as always, road repairs. We went around several traffic jams. The only thing that infuriated me was that when people asked to go to the toilet, the driver promised to drop me off in the field.
People were outraged - the conflict was over.
Planted only in "cultural" places). There were already normal drivers in Chernivtsi, quite adequate, cultured, willing to answer all questions while we were standing on the border with Romania and waiting for passports.
There are no complaints at all against Bulgarian drivers. The owner of Balkan Express Travel Assistants, a partner of Il Tour, as I understand it, went with us to Nikolaev. Cared for by the care of their passengers and respect. Stops were made when the need arose. "Warm" water was given on demand.
Tip: do not take bulky blankets with you, they will occupy the floor of the bus, you will not die in a day. Take tea cups.
Two women fell behind in the Golden Sands. They drew up a report and went on. In front of Romania we are called and asked to pick up passengers from the bus that was passing through Chernivtsi. . We are waiting…
I describe the situation - we drive up, we go out - who smokes, who just looks like.
Two women sitting at a bus stop. Talk to my companions.
We are waiting. Then the passengers say that they decided that they should return via Chernivtsi, although in the boarding pass for the return trip they clearly wrote "Sozopol - Odesa - Kyiv". I then asked them why it happened, they said the agent told them so. I say - have you not seen what you have written? They saw. Why didn't I ask the agent then? Ah, oh, draw your own conclusions.
It is believed that it is difficult to ride a bus a day, it really is. But, since there were frequent stops and there was an opportunity to wash away, bus tours are not as terrible as it is painted))) In Sunny Beach went a day and five hours through Chernivtsi. To Kyiv via Odessa - one day and three hours. Border control was carried out everywhere quickly, no more than 3 hours. The most formidable border guard was the Moldovan border.
Most carefully did us face control, which caused everyone to smile)))
3. Hotel Freshness.

As I said, before the trip I carefully studied the reviews, photos and dug up all the information that was possible about this hotel. Therefore, there were no expectations, and then there were no disappointments.
The hotel has met all my, I will tell you, unpretentious requirements. The girls at the reception, Geary and Gabriela, are very polite, attentive and smiling. Whenever possible, we tried to answer all questions. Of the minuses - asked for a glass - did not give. Didn't give - and it isn't necessary - went bought. Now there is a ceramic cup in memory)))
And so the room - double, single occupancy, clean. Minimum functional furniture, TV, refrigerator. I thought that air conditioning would not be needed in September - needed))) there were really very hot days.
Wardrobe with a dozen shoulders, from the bathroom gave soap and regularly replenished toilet paper, which is important. Because there is no shower cabin as such.
Water, no matter how hard I tried, flew in all directions, after which, I apologize for the details, the toilet bowl had to be wiped with paper, which would not sit on the wet)))
The maid made the bed every day, took out the garbage. The bed was changed on the 5th day, towels were changed every three days. The floor was washed once and thank you for that. I didn't bother much and didn't have time to sit in the room. I thanked the left every day for special attention. I say special - because grandmothers from Russia complained that their beds are not made, "not that in Soviet times. " I did not talk about the lion in bed…
Breakfasts, as mentioned many times on the site, are monotonous, but quite edible. Margarine, milk, coffee and colored water did not take. Not edible.
I didn't eat potatoes or pasta either. This is enough at home. Took cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives.

On a plate cut and seasoned with grape vinegar and sunflower oil - it turned out almost Shopska salad) She also ate boiled sausages, fried and boiled eggs. OBLIGATORY - sour soft and sweet (sour milk with jam). Sometimes I took cheese, honey. I drank tea every day because my kettle was out of order. And in the room I could not treat myself to a seagull. There were also cereals, muesli, watermelon, apples and oranges. I have a prejudiced attitude towards oranges at the beginning of autumn ...You could fry toast on an air grill or make hot sandwiches. As soon as something was over, the waiter Tikhomir immediately brought it to the table.
The dishes were intact and absolutely clean. Nothing stuck to his hands. Napkins were in abundance.
There is no internet. Available in nearby restaurants, and across the street from Freshness to the Internet Club, 3 left per hour.
If you do not remember the layout of the Cyrillic alphabet - do not go. The keyboard is Latin everywhere. The language is set in Bulgarian.
Well, unless you write in Latin.
Strangers are not allowed in - which is gratifying, because the locks are ordinary. Elevators are clean, the hall is spacious. The pool is clean, I did not swim. I consider it blasphemous to swim in the pool if there is a sea nearby.
View from the room - on the left - on the sea, straight down - on the pool, on the left - on the mountains - all the pleasures of life)))))))))
The hotel's location is very convenient - everything is close: post office, bus station, resort center, inexpensive restaurants, sea)
4. Excursions.
The purpose of my trip was shopping and beach holidays. That's why there aren't many excursions - I went to old Nessebar twice. Because one day was not enough for me)))
This city is just wonderful, I do not want to leave it.
Bought a comprehensive ticket for 12 levs to visit 5 objects: Archaeological Museum Church of St. Stephen, Savior, Ethnographic Museum, Church of Christ Pantocrats. And paid 6 levs for the shooting. There is nothing to do in ethnography, only if you are interested in the fashion of the 30s. The Church of the Savior is a miracle.
There is a palpable feeling that God is embracing you in the fresco. As well as the intertwining of old streets, two-story houses, tiled roofs everywhere, many restaurants. And thousands of foreigners from Western Europe, who are drawn to September in Nessebar for shopping)))
5. Shopping.

The Mladost supermarket really has the lowest prices. And not just on products. For pink cosmetics, too, it also sold beautiful Bulgarian lingerie. I bought both) I found a shop on the way to "Mladost" with Bulgarian clothes. Also did not pass. I bought some blouses and shorts of excellent quality.
All natural cotton, ie cotton)) Blouses for 120 UAH, shorts 72. It would be more money - would buy more, Sino-Turkish rags are already across the throat (. Also bought on the market leather orthopedic sandals Karyoka for 270 UAH.
you could also buy at a discount excellent leather shoes for only 180 UAH, but the money tends to run out))).
Out of curiosity, I went to the Lidl supermarket. Little. Any of our "Silpo" is more. The choice is not great either, but all the products I bought are of good quality and even cheaper than at Mladost. Go from the bus station by bus to Ravda. Fare - 1.8 leva. It is not bad to walk from Ravda, although everyone told us - it's not far)))
It was unclear how to get back, but the speech will not only lead to Kiev)))
6. The beach.
The beach is almost clean. Definitely cleaner than in the Crimea. I didn't sunbathe on paid sunbeds. Sunbed - 8 levs, umbrella - 8 levs. Sum and multiply everything by 6. Only free zone. In Nessebar it is good for 5 levs.
Once, in search of an even more free zone, wandered behind a rusty pier (closer to Nessebar) and came across a nudist beach))). This is for sunbather lovers.
I regularly went to meet the sunrise - a magical spectacle when the sun rises from the water ...
Do not be lazy - if you already have such an opportunity, be sure, at least once, go and admire the sunrise)))
The water was warm all the time, in any weather. Often stormy. But the sea is far shallow, so still swam.
Beach entertainment is cheaper than in the Crimea. Paraseling - 300 UAH, I do not remember the time, but it seemed that 15 minutes, riding a scooter 15 minutes - 15 levs and then in proportion to 1 min - 1 lev)
7. Food.
She often went to Farga and Janet restaurants. Prices are lower than on the boulevard Nessebar.
I tried my aunt in Nessebar - I didn't like it too salty. Maybe I chose the restaurant unsuccessfully (I do not remember the name). Beetroot ingots (pepper stuffed with cheese - 4).

5 levs), Shopska salad (up to 3 levs), bannitsa (1 lev), kavarma saw (at worst stewed chicken with vegetables - 8 levs) out of competition))) Bulgarian pancakes (2.5 levs) did not impress - my mother is tastier))) Delicious moussaka (3-5 lions), be careful if you are asked to put sour cream or sour milk))) In the machines quite edible coffee - 0.5 -0.7 stotinki.
The tea is not delicious. Kebab did not like. , reminiscent of cotton wool Tarator do not eat - this is a soup to quench thirst on a hot day))) Delicious bean soup (bean soup - about 2 levs). Very tasty sweet peaches with vegetable compositions - from 1.9 to 2.5 levs. In other places it is much more expensive. Very tasty Toffee ice cream, with various additives, as well as in the Turkish sweets shop on Nessebar Boulevard. I bought 5 liters of water in Mladost - 1 lev. Mladost did not like cooking. Too much mayonnaise in salads, cutlets "cotton")). To the amateur.
8. Currency.
Changed only in exchangers.
Bring the euro to Bulgaria - the most profitable option. Almost everywhere the rate of 1 lev is 1.91. In Nessebar 1.94. The hryvnia was exchanged for UAH 1 - BGN 0.175 in the center behind the Kuban Hotel. Withdrew in the same way from the card in the Bulgarian Alfa - bank - it turned out 1 lev - 6 UAH.
9. Meet the party.
TEDDY KAM is the only spoonful of tar in my honey honey))). When she arrived, no one met anyone.
It was very hot, and although I already had a map on hand, it is not clear how far to the hotel on foot. The result is two stops from the scorching sun. How special, there was no one to ask (((
Well, that's all. If I remember something else - I'll add)))
