Отдых в Созопле Holidays in Sozop

Road: air travel.
Travel agency in Minsk: "Lazy".
Host in Bulgaria: "Teddy Cam".

Departure from Minsk was at 4-00 am. At 6-00 we were already in Burgas, where we were met by a representative of the host country Slavik. And after 10 minutes, we and another 7-8 people were rolling towards Sozopol in an IVECO minibus. By the way, there was another representative of Teddy Cam at the airport - a girl, to whom a huge number of tourists from Belarus went. Apparently, they were heading to one of the big resorts in Bulgaria like Sunny Beach (to be honest, I was glad that much fewer people were driving in our direction).
At about 7-00 we were already at the Poseidon Hotel. The host took us to the room, which was exactly the same as in the photo on the Internet. The hostess is excellent, she always tried to help us and understand.

The room had: a double bed, air conditioning, a wardrobe, a table with a mini-fridge (mini-bar), a mirror, two bedside tables, two stools, a table with two ottomans-chairs, another chair with a back, a hanger-dryer and /y with a standard Bulgarian shower, which has a drain right in the floor. A room with a small balcony that overlooked the street with other hotels, and on the left even a little bit of the sea was visible. Of the dishes in the room were 2 glasses. We assumed that this would be the case, so we took a couple of plates, forks and spoons with us.
From the hotel it is quite close to both beaches of Sozopol: to the smaller city beach go along the streets for about 5 minutes, to the beginning of Harmanite go about 7 minutes and then about five minutes to go further along the beach to more free spaces; . We always went to Harmanite - and there are more places, and not so shallow.
There are a couple of places on Haramanité beach where you can put umbrellas right next to the sea, but since we came to the beach at 10 o’clock, there were already a lot of people there. Therefore, we walked closer to the Bikini beach bar and put our umbrella (bought in Sozopol for 8 leva, but, basically, they are 10 lev) behind white umbrellas 4-5m from the sea, and this suited us just fine. A beach mat (straw) was also bought in Sozopol for 2 leva.
The weather was excellent except for 3 days when it was warm, but it rained in the first half of the day, and the last 2 days, when the air temperature dropped to about +16, it became quite cold and it rained intermittently. On sunny days the air temperature was about +25-27 degrees.
The sea was a bit cold for me. There was no such thing as going into the sea and not feeling whether you went into the water or not. But very clean, just super - transparent, transparent.
Food.

In some cafes there was a lunch menu, mostly for 5 lev: some soup, a main course and dessert. We took one serving for 2 plus something to drink and that was enough for us. Portions are quite decent, for dinner sometimes they took 2 of some dishes plus beer, it turned out at a cost of about 20 lev. Most often we ate at "Diamanta" near Harmanite - and the waitresses are very friendly, and the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is good. We went to Ribari a couple of times - very tasty, just super, we especially liked the breaded mussels (6.66 leva) and the Fantasia saw - chicken fillet pieces in some kind of sauce (9.99 leva). They also took the fish "Chernokop" (9.90 leva) there, but it did not impress us. 10% of the order was left as a tip.
Fruits and vegetables were bought in a shop in the market - as soon as you enter the market, to the right to the corner and then the entrance to the left. Everything was cheaper there than in the stalls on the street, the main thing was that the delivery was good. Peaches, nectarines, apricots cost about 1.6-2 leva.
They also bought black olives with a stone for 4.5 leva. And there they once bought smoked pork ribs - not to be compared with what they sell in our markets - gnawed bones; , and here - a layer of meat is two or three times thicker than the bone itself. Cherries were bought near the market in the last tray, which is closer to the old city. It cost about 3.5 - 3.8 lev, large and without living creatures inside.
In the morning we bought baked goods "Topli Snacks" (located right next to the hotel) - fresh, tasty. Also very tasty pancakes with different fillings near the hotel "Selena".
Products were usually bought at the Bolero supermarket. Here is a small layout for prices in leva: Schweppes 1.5l - 1.95; Amstel beer (not impressed) 0.5l - 1.55 +0.25 for the glass bottle itself, Kamenitsa beer (not bad) 0.5l - 0.8 +0.25 for the glass bottle itself, sheep cheese for 1kg - 6.29; goat cheese for 1kg - 6.19; sour milk 400g - 0.7-0.75; peaches - 1.85; lukanka (raw smoked sausage) for 1kg - 16.80; melon per 1kg - 1.29; watermelon for 1kg - 0.69.
We went to Burgas on our own - a ticket for 4 leva one way. Streets begin right next to the station, on which there are many shops, etc. , so those who come for shopping will not have to go far.
We went on an excursion to Nessebar in the old town for 48 lev per person. The price included: a visit to the museum (but shooting inside was paid 4 leva), 2 churches (with shooting inside the same), a walk around the city and free time in Nessebar (about 3 hours). All this with a guide (except for free time), who spoke Russian without a single accent. The city is very beautiful, the beach near it is pebbly, you can swim.

In the end, I want to once again say a huge thank you to the owner of the Poseidon Hotel for her help and hospitality. If anyone has questions - write.
