I bought a ticket at the travel agency "Grant Tour Voyage" through the tour operator "Capital Tour" from 24.07-2009 to 07.08. 2009 for 15 days in Sozopol, hotel "Koral" 3 *.
Boeing 737 Orenburg Airlines is designed for 150 seats (very compact aircraft, soft take off, easy landing, staff very polite and attentive).
We arrived in Burgas, the flight was not delayed all on time, the meeting party was Alma Tour
A minibus came for us and in 40 minutes. delivered to the city of Sozopol to the hotel "Coral", we were immediately settled.
The hotel was renovated in 2006. New plumbing, furniture is relatively new. To be honest, when I saw the sea from the balcony and a beautiful view, all the little minuses that are written in the reviews either didn’t exist or I didn’t notice.

The room was wonderful with a sea view, a balcony, air conditioning, TV (two channels of Russian ORT and RTR planet, fishing, also two Ukrainian channels - you almost always speak Russian there), a refrigerator, a bath (not a shower), hair dryer. At night, I opened the balcony, it was more pleasant to fall asleep to the sound of the sea and fresh air than with air conditioning.
The hotels were mostly inhabited by Germans, British, Ukrainians, Bulgarians, Romanians, there were few Russians.
Buffet breakfast (boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, french fries, fried bacon or sausages or sausages changed from day to day, cheese, cheese, two types of sausage, cucumbers, tomatoes, yogurt, cereal, milk, jam, honey, fried bread in an egg, small croissants or buns or pies with cream changed from day to day, two or three types of bread, watermelon, black tea, coffee and mint tea), but I personally didn’t get tired of such a breakfast for 15 days of rest.
In Bulgaria, the lev exchange rate is 1 euro = 1.96 lev
1 dollar = 1.3 lev
The room was cleaned every day from about 11-12, all towels were changed, shower gel and shampoo were added, if it ran out, clothes were folded (if it was lying on an armchair), bed linen was changed every 2-3 days. The hotel has WI FI, the reception gives a password, and the Internet is free. Every day, Dimitrika came from Alma Tour, we called her Dimi, a very nice woman, she asked how things were going and offered excursions, told where to see what in the city, where to buy wine and souvenirs.
There are many cafes, bistros and restaurants both on the waterfront and in the city itself. I really liked El Greco, Sea rocks, old town, st. Cyril and Methodius, if you go down this street to the embankment, there will be a ZOI restaurant.
When buying souvenirs in shops, no one imposes anything on you, they give change correctly, people over 40 speak Russian well, young people do not really, but if they speak slowly they understand.
in the town of Sozopol there are museums Archaeological, Ethnographic, Thermae, Fortress Wall, Art Gallery, Churches of St. Mary, St. Nicholas, etc.

We went on excursions. Ropotamo rode on a motor boat, saw water turtles, visited the botanical garden, showed more than 250 species of cacti, various exotic trees and plants. It is small, it was created and supported by only 4 people, husband, wife (they are about 85) and their children (they are about 60) . We also went to the city of Aladzhda and the city of Varna and liked the tour very much.
The rest turned out to be just wonderful, after 15 days I did not want to return home.
