Nessebar – photo report from bulgarian ancient city

Less than a year ago I wrote a post in which I listed twenty one things that I want to do when I’m twenty-one years old. And although I must admit that I mostly failed, at least thanks to my parents I managed to fulfill the first point – to visit a new country. Despite the fact that my mother’s holidays are associated only with spending time on the beach, sunbathing and swimming, luckily I managed to convince her on a small trip, which was organized by our travel agency – TUI. Honestly, I was totally disappointed with the trip, because the guide was not too interested in her work, however I am glad that I managed to see a new place and even if I did not learn much, I can always expand my knowledge through books or the internet.
The city, located in eastern Bulgaria on a small rocky peninsula, in 1983 was included in the list of World Heritage by UNESCO. Its history goes back to the 5th century BC, when it was known as Masembria. The past of the city is quite turbulent, since it went from Byzantine hands to Bulgarian a dozen or so times, and also fell under the rule of Turkey.
During our trip, we had the opportunity to see the baths and city walls, as well as two of the forty-one churches that are located there. The most charming, however (just like in Italian towns) small, picturesque streets, which we walked from place to place.
It’s definitely worth going there for a one-day trip, especially if you are a history buff. And if you are there, go to taste some wine in the wine bar, which is run by a couple of spouses who come from Poland – Messembria. I have never had the opportunity to drink a better wine than I have been served there. I think that even if you are not a big fan of this drink, you would find something there for yourself!
