Nessebur, Bulgaria

Nessebur, Bulgaria was a surprise for us on this trip.  It is an old city that has now become a sea side resort with over 80 hotels in the new beach areas of the city, kind of a Miami Beach-Black Sea resort.  We walked the approximately 40 acre site of the old Greek/Roman old city and saw the numerous churches. We then bussed across a causeway to the new part of the city to do some wine tasting.  We found the Bulgarian wines more to our liking in that they were dryer and the reds had more body to them.
