| Nesebar,
previously known as a Menebria, is an ancient
city on the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria.
In modern times Nesebar
is a major tourist attraction in what has become a popular area
with several large resorts — the largest, Sunny
Beach, is situated immediately to the north of Nesebar.
Nesebar
has on several occasions found itself on the frontier of a threatened
empire, and as such it is a town with a rich history. The ancient
part of the town is situated on a peninsula connected to the mainland
by a man-made isthmus, and it bears evidence of occupation by
a variety of different civilisations over the course of its existence.
Its abundance of historic buildings prompted UNESCO to inscribe
Nesebar on its list of World Heritage Sites in 1983.
Nesebar
has some superb fresh fish restaurants and some of Bulgaria's
finest shops.
