Where to stay

Burgas on its own has far fewer beds than the week will need, so most visitors will stay somewhere along the bay. Rough distances to the city:

  • Burgas centre: about 3 km from the arena
  • Sarafovo, on the airport side: about 10 km
  • Pomorie: about 20 km
  • Chernomorets: about 24 km
  • Sozopol: about 35 km
  • Nessebar and Sveti Vlas: about 35 km and a little more, 40–50 minutes by car

Why Sozopol

Sozopol is the oldest town on this coast: timber houses on a rocky peninsula, a fishing harbour and beaches on both sides. In mid-May it is quiet and unhurried, which makes it a good base if you want a few days by the sea around the shows.

Getting from Sozopol to Burgas

  • By car: about 35 km along the coast road.
  • By bus: regular daytime buses run to Burgas South bus station.
  • After the shows: the live shows end after midnight local time, when regular buses have stopped. Arrange a hire car, a transfer or a shared taxi in advance. Official shuttles have not been announced.
  • From the airport: Burgas Airport is on the north side of the city, roughly 45 km from Sozopol.

Our apartments

Dream BG is a family-run business. Our Sozopol apartments are in the Santa Marina holiday village, about 2 km from the old town, in a complex with pools and gardens. Each has an equipped kitchen, air conditioning and Wi-Fi, and most have a balcony or terrace. We also have apartments in Nessebar and Sveti Vlas. May is outside our usual summer calendar, so send us your dates and we will tell you plainly what we can offer. No payment is taken at the request stage.
