Usually in Golden Sands, buses to Bulgaria stop at the Briz Hotel, on the E87 highway.
This is the first time I’ve heard about the fact that there is no transfer to the hotel in Golden Sands.
Maybe change your tour operator?

Thank you very much for the answer! I made an application to the so-called Alliance. The girl said that getting off at a certain stop and group transfer is not included.
If the stop is what you named, then the hotel is as much as 4 km away (((
The tour is paid.

“It’s already 4 km to the hotel for me” - If you already have an agreement with a travel agency and on the conditions that you mentioned (i.e. without a transfer), then it’s not very pleasant .. but has the agreement been signed?
However, local taxis will be at the stop from very early in the morning, right from 5 in the morning our buses will be waiting. I don’t remember what price they asked for a transfer last summer, because we always travel from Chisinau with a transfer from tour operators (that’s why I was surprised that you don’t have one). There are also a lot of Ukrainian buses... it’s even strange that transfer to the hotel is not included.
Local buses travel along Golden Sands to Varna and others, they do not travel that often, but if they suit you as an option to your hotel, then in Google you will find both the bus number and the schedule. Local beads are not expensive, but they won’t be available early in the morning.

This is the first time I meet without a transfer. But they said that the bus travels along the highway, there is only one stop on the ZP. If there are buses and taxis, that's great))) thanks

My pleasure )
I remember exactly that at 5 in the morning in Golden Sands last summer, after disembarking from the bus, various taxis drove up to us and offered to take us to the hotel, I don’t remember the price, because... We were waiting for our transfer.

Taxis are not always there, especially at 5 in the morning. The price of a taxi is 8 euros. We are regular guests of Zoloty, so I wonder which hotel you chose, maybe Dolce Vita, Gradin or Galima Marina, which is so far away, because usually if the hotel is in the center, we always go on foot, we took a taxi a couple of times, but that was at 10 in the morning, we arrived in 2023 at 7.20 in the morning and there were no taxis, but there were two busik transfers from the service station. I agree that not everyone organizes a transfer, especially when they put you on another operator's bus and they have their own people for the transfer. 1.5 km ago, after the road and legs that were swollen for a day, we need to stretch just the same, BUT be prepared that you will be dropped off on the track surrounded by a forest of trees. Local regular buses go along the route to Varna, BUT be prepared to have lions, because from Euro they won't take our word for it at all, the first time we were there, they just dropped us off at the next stop.

This is how I wrote it, and it happened: at five in the morning several taxis drove up to the Breeze stop and offered their services. Taxi drivers know that buses from Moldova arrive at 4.30-5 am.

The road is long but not critical. 24-26 hours from Kyiv, if there are shifts at the border, etc. longer. The main thing is to prepare properly. Wear a t-shirt and a tracksuit (THIS IS IMPORTANT) or shorts if you are going in the heat, no jeans or trousers. Next, moccasins or sneakers, and put flip-flops for the beach in hand luggage (THIS IS IMPORTANT). Say thank you to me on the bus. Next, a thermos with coffee, water, food that doesn’t smell on the whole salon and the main thing in the salon is a plaid, covering what you will take to the beach, or a large towel and a small pillow (don’t choose a bagel around your neck, it’s not comfortable, just a small sintepon pillow) .

By transfer. In Ukraine, you can Google a transfer to the hotel on Zolotykh, there was a case where passengers corresponded with a taxi driver (by the way, a woman) and she was already waiting in a car near the bus, the price is 10 bucks, I don't have a phone. Another option is to get out near Briz in Zolotykh, take out your luggage and put it in the cabin, negotiate with the driver of your bus for 100-200 hryvnias and he will drop you off on the highway or in the center or further. With a suitcase and a bag, you will quickly leave the salon, and then you will get there using Google Maps. Why does the golden one have one stop at the entrance, because it is possible to stop there in the Nature Park, and at other stops fines are issued in Europe, so drivers do not take risks, because you have to open the trunks, let people off, which takes a long time and creates danger on the road, and when the suitcase is already there in the salon, you will get out in a minute and the driver will be able to stop further down the road and closer to your hotel. Don't worry, you'll figure it out on the spot, maybe there will be a taxi.
And yes, in Bulgaria All starts with dinner and ends with lunch if not 5*

Pay attention to the following: does the hotel have its own beach with sunbeds, because usually there you have to rent a sunbed and an umbrella (expensive). Therefore, take your towel, blanket from home!!!! In our hotel, beach towels are given out as a replacement for clean ones like in Egypt, Turkey has never heard of them, so find out. Another tip. In two hours' drive to the golden ones, there will be the Durundulak border, Bulgaria, where everyone goes to the toilet, it is paid, prepare small coins of 1-2 Euros or dollars and MUST exchange euros for lions there, for example, 10 euros, in case you need to go immediately on a local bus, because there only lions. Bulgaria is our love, but if you are with children, I would recommend resorts further south (read warmer) Nessebar, Sozopol or Sunny Beach. There are few entertainments and excursions in the golden beaches, there can be BIG (read stormy when you don't go into the water if you are not a super swimmer) waves in the golden beaches. FSE Godspeed.
Check the insurance and print it, there are none in my phone (paper). Now that's all.

Thank you very much for the detailed description! I wanted to hug right away))
I googled all these hotels, my hotel is located in Zazhopinsk at the very bottom of the golden sands)))) I travel alone, I am going to Bulgaria because I do not want to travel even longer to Turkey.

Are you also leaving Kyiv at 7 in the morning?
аватар Svetlana_Hrebenyk
I'll tell you right away, the horse is in the ass, you have to walk to the center, I give a double to the travel agent who offered it to you, it's unreasonably expensive for these funds, you could have chosen a better hotel, but take a rest, look, chat, and choose something better for next year. But there is also a pleasant thing, I assure you that you will like Bulgaria for the quality and assortment of food and fruit (drinks = No, everything is the same as in Yega, Turkish). In your case, no walking with a suitcase, only a taxi. Get off the bus in Briza first, the transfer drivers will run right away (they won’t have any seats), ask them for a taxi right away, they can call their own to pull up, maybe there will be a taxi driver right away, maybe someone on the bus ordered a taxi and it will be waiting for him, then they will take you therefore, on the bus, ask at the bus stops who is in Zolot without a transfer, and there will be such people, because people also make reservations on their own without maintenance.
If you leave Kyiv at 7, then you will be in Zolotye at 7, of course, and at 5, as the road will skip Porubne, because Istanbul buses usually slow down there.

You may have to wait a little while you arrive. I saw that the taxi was taking me to the hotel, and then coming back to pick up someone else. Dial a taxi "golden sands" in Google, you will find it at home and agree to wait for a stop, even if the bus stops for 6 hours. This happened to me as well. They will immediately say that 10 can be knocked down to 8 euros. You also chose the wrong operator, because he does not specialize in Bulgaria at all. Good luck Today there is no better vacation at sea. Don't consider Turkish by bus because it's two days. The bus may be cramped and hot, but we are strong! End of connection
