Just arrived from Bulgaria. We write in hot pursuit. We rested in a small family hotel Harmony Beach. The hotel is located right on the seafront. Some of the hotel rooms overlook the sea, some - on the Nessebar-Ravda road. Our windows looked at the road, it was a bit noisy, but if you close the windows and turn on the air conditioner, you feel completely isolated from the outside world. The hotel is run by a Bulgarian family. Hostess - Zhivka Komarova. The family is very friendly, welcoming and not intrusive at all. Our room was large - more than 30 m2. The rooms are wet cleaned daily, every 3 days - a set of towels is changed, every 5 days - bed linen is changed. The room has a small fridge-bar (I would like more, because even a bottle of wine can only be placed in it lying down), air conditioning, constantly hot and cold water. The neighbors did not bother, there were a lot of vacationers with children or just couples like us. The hotel has a restaurant where we had breakfast every day, and sometimes lunch. The prices are reasonable, the food is decent. Lunch cost from 5 to 7 euros. Breakfasts were included in the price of the tour, they were monotonous and a bit boring: two toasts, two slices of sausage, two slices of cheese, butter, jam, coffee, half a tomato and something egg (fried eggs, scrambled eggs, boiled egg). But we had enough. Breakfast is prepared separately for each guest, served hot. There is always something to choose from for lunch and dinner. We recommend Tarator soup, I liked it very much!! ! There are a lot of small shops nearby, but their prices are much higher than in supermarkets. There are only 2 supermarkets nearby: Lid'l and Janet. Each is approximately 2 km from our hotel. A bit far, but we went in them just for the sake of walking (lack of exercise tortured me at work). Prices in supermarkets are inexpensive: sour milk (kefir) - 0.3 euros per half-liter glass, a 1 liter juice package - about 1 euro, cheese - 1.5 euros per 200 gr. , smoked pork fillet - 5 euros per kg, Bulgarian wine - 2-3 euros per bottle, beer - 0.35-0.6 euros per 0.5 l. We really liked Lutenitsa - 1.5 euros for 600 gr. - like eggplant caviar. We highly recommend everyone to try it. And as a snack for beer, and just as a meal (it's delicious to spread on fresh bread). There are banichars on every corner, where the Bulgarian pie Banitsa is cooked right in front of you (0.5-0.6 euros). You can eat it right next to the banicharnitsa at the table, or you can buy it home for dinner.
The hotel is right on the beach which is very convenient. We had breakfast - immediately at the sea, it became hot - we immediately went to the room, turned on the air conditioner. We rested, we can go to the sea again. The beach is mostly sandy, but there are small inclusions of stones. On the beach, only Russian and Ukrainian speech is heard. And only on weekends a large number of Bulgarians come, and there is nowhere for an apple to fall on the beach.
In the evening you can sit in a cafe, look at the moonlit path to the sea, listen to the sound of the surf. Not far away (about 1 km) is the Aquapark, the largest in Bulgaria. There is a bus stop next to the hotel, from which you can go to the center of Nessebar (0.5 euros) or to Sunny Beach (0.9 euros). Buses run regularly, but the schedule is somehow confusing, and could not figure it out. Taxi rank is also near the hotel. But the price of a trip to Sunny Beach will already cost 10 euros.

We were lucky with the weather. The sea was warm and gentle. There were no jellyfish or algae. Happy with the trip! We dream of visiting here again next year!
