The Charm of Nessebar and Pomorie Salt and Wine Tour

Nesebar is an ancient city and one of the major seaside resorts on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast, located in Burgas Province. It is the administrative centre of the homonymous Nesebar Municipality. Often referred to as the "Pearl of the Black Sea", Nesebar is a rich city-museum defined by more than three millennia of ever-changing history. The small city exists in two parts separated by a narrow man-made isthmus with the ancient part of the settlement on the peninsula (previously an island), and the more modern section (i.e. hotels, later development) on the mainland side. The older part bears evidence of occupation by a variety of different civilisations over the course of its existence. It is one of the most prominent tourist destinations and seaports on the Black Sea, 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. Due to the city's abundance of historic buildings, UNESCO came to include Nesebar in its list of World Heritage Sites in 1983.

The only Salt Museum not only in Bulgaria but for the whole Eastern Europe is located in the town of Pomorie, 20 km away from Burgas. It opened its doors on 7 September 2002. It is dedicated to the production of salt through solar evaporation of seawater. The museum showcases the ancient Alchialos method for salt production. The production of salt in the region of Pomorie provided a livelihood for the local people for centuries. According to historical sources, the salt-pans in the region of Pomorie existed even before the establishment of the town (about the 5th century BC). In ancient times, salt was extremely valuable – rare and expensive – and for this reason, it was sometimes called “white gold”. The Salt Museum in Pomorie is a specialized outdoor museum – visitors may see both the museum building and the 20 decares of salt-pans adjacent to the museum, where salt is still being produced. The salt-pans are a number of basins separated from one another by wood and dirt embankments. Salt is produced there utilizing the same technology that was used сеnturies ago.

The Thracians were an ancient tribes inhabiting large territories of Central, Southern and Eastern Bulgaria.
