What to see in Nessebar in the first place
When compiling our rating of “the most interesting places in Nessebar”, we took into account the reviews of local residents and the recommendations of experienced guides. In our general opinion, the list of places to go in Nessebar, first of all, looks like this:
1. Old Town

Old Nessebar appeared in the 10th century. Much later, a New Town was erected near the first Thracian colony, connecting with the first bridge. Unfortunately, the most ancient buildings were destroyed by time. However, some buildings built back in the 15th century by the Ottoman Turks managed to survive. The buildings are now in good condition, thanks to the reconstruction. In the Old Town you will see many luxurious houses of the 18th century, made in the architectural styles of classicism and baroque.
2. Windmill

4. Byzantine Baths

These huge baths are the cultural heritage of the city, preserved from the time of Justinian the First (Emperor of Byzantium). Marble was actively used in the design of the ancient complex: majestic columns and floors were faced with it. Stained-glass windows and mosaics were used to decorate the walls. The decor also has chic metal. You can look, among other things, at antique tiles with faces of great martyrs and illustrations on religious themes. Initially, the baths were supplied with water coming from the city water supply, and served as a resting place for wealthy Byzantines. Due to the peculiarities of the plumbing, different temperatures could be maintained in different rooms of the thermae. In the 9th century, during a terrible earthquake, the complex was almost destroyed. Now little has been preserved from the former grandeur of the ancient baths. However, if you are interested in the best attractions of Nessebar, which have a rich history and great cultural significance, a visit here will be the right choice.
