Hi Gabriel, honestly this crappy place has no historycal value. It's old shisha bar dumped years ago. Sunny beach became bigger and bigger every 10-15 years and back in 2000s this area was part of the crowded zone, now its not. It's shame that they leaved it like that.
You are right about the time period the church was built in, but it was built in the Second Bulgarian Empire. So it is a Bulgarian church in the byzantine style.
Bulgaria has surprised me. Being from the UK we tend to think of places like Greece, Spain and its islands, Portugal, Turkey, France, Italy etc as shorter haul summer holiday destinations but your Bulgarian videos have definitely made me think about Bulgaria for a visit. Great work as always, thank you
Yep, we're not that popular as a destination, I blame the socialism, but, there are some good places that you might like. Nesebar or Sozopol are definitely among them.
Busy Sunny Beach is a good drop-off point, but Nessebar is something totally else - a seaside village/port with parks, history (Byzantine churches), rustic, mellow lanes, interesting boutiques, great restaurants - a delightful ambience, basically a place I'd like to visit some day...
Sunny Beach - the best place for Summer Holiday. I'm already there 4th time. Good restaurants, weather, nice people, safety. I prefer driving by car from Poland, but my friends use flights to Burgas.
Old Nessebar is a sacred place from the beginning of time! That is why there are so many churches there. No one can say when civilization first appeared there. The written history of the place starts around sixth century BC, when the Greek colonizers came, but it was already a thracian city at that time! It has always had many temples, that became churches after christianization! So many churches in such a small place is really amazing! You missed some! Also you missed the amphitheater! Marvelous historical site!
I was visiting Sunny Beach back in 1982,40 years ago.Beautiful place,there are also more beaches and tourist attractions north from your location.As always,appreciate your content Gabe and be safe buddy.
Well it depends. They are lots of great things, some that are different from most other places and some stuff that is really bad. But in general I can really recommend to visit us, but to be honest Sunny beach is the last place to go. If you are interested in the lots of history and culture my land can offer. And the best thing is the really interesting places are not really known internationally, so they are much cheaper, the prices for most things in this video are really expensive from my point of view.
if you know Bulgarian language and knows somebody from there or from your country and if you have a good pension in dollars or euros,maybe , if there arent these conditions you can feel very isolated and alone or if you have to survive or live with salaries from Bulgaria , I dude a lot that Bulgaria be a good country to be
I'm Bulgarian and in the first 2-3 minutes I literally don't know whether to laugh or cry. If I have to be completely objective and honest I've never been in a place like this.....but for sure is mind blowing 🤯🤯🤣🤣 Keep it fresh as always and you will only grow bro. Good job! :)
Everything up to now he's shown looks really nice and picturesque in Bulgaria but this Sunny Beach looks like one of the worst "resorts" i've ever seen. Even Benidorm has a beautiful palm lined sweeping bay. The first Bulgarian Black Sea resort he showed looked far nicer. I wouldn't waste anymore time filming this dump.
@@ojosazules8828 Anda ya, como si Benidorm, Salou o Magaluf feron sitios bonitos y mira que conozco y he estado por España muchas veces. SB no es el sitio más bonito pero tampoco llamarlo "dump" porque eso sí que tiene una playa muy grande y chula y sitios para comer muy buenos. Segurísimo que no conoces la playa porque no has estado. El resto es feucho, no cabe duda. Destinado para jovenes que van de juerga, alcohol y turismo barato. Sozopol, Nessebar, Ahtopol o las zonas que están en el sur de Varna también molan.
@@ojosazules8828 Sunny Beach is a place for single people or couples in their 20s. It wasn't designed to be that way, but that is what it turned out to be. Sunny Beach serves an important purpose, and that is it attracts all the partygoers and people who just want to get drunk and have fun. Some Bulgarians haven't gotten the memo yet and bring their kids there which really pissed me off (based on Gabe's last video and all the underage kids you can see there)So yeah, pretty much every other resort is a nice quieter family-friendly place, but that can only happen if you have a place like Sunny Beach that can attract all the people you don't want to deal with and interact with.
In 13 century Nesebar was part of the Bulgarian Empire so the church you have shown is build by the bulgarians, not by the greeks, take a look at the bulgarian medieval history or the european medieval history. In 13 century the Bulgarian Empire was very big and not only Nesebar but most of the Balcan peninsula were part of the bulgarian state.
Nessebar (originally Messembria in Greek) was founded and still inhabited by Greeks until about the beginning of the 20th century. Yes, it belonged to the Bulgarian empire in the 13th century, it went back and forth between Byzantine, Bulgarian and Ottoman rule. In 1900 about 90% of the population was Greek at which time they left with the population exchange. Some remained there which is why many in Nessebar have Greek descent. My grandfather and grandmother were both born and raised in Nessebar until they were about 18 years old when they had to leave and move to Greece along with most of the local population. I am sure many Bulgarians had to leave Greece at the same time and move to Bulgaria in a similar way.
@@mn7486 Also in nowdats northern Greece are living ethnic bulgarians wich are not alowed to say that they are bulgarians, in 21 century, because greece has an auful shovinistic policy towards all the minorities.
@@KanKubrat1 Who is stopping them from saying they are Bulgarians?? Is there a law against being Bulgarian in Greece?? I think that in reality it is you who is a chauvinist spreading nationalistic hate and lies in a youtube travel video..
@@mn7486 No, it was NOT founded by greeks. Stop stealing history, you boy fuckers. Mesambria Pontica, or Melsambria, was an ancient Thracian city, named after Thracian ruler Menas (or Melsa) and the word "bria"', which means "city"' in Thracian. It was build on today's Nessebar peninsula and with time parts of it went underwater and were discovered by Bulgarian archeologists in the 1960''s and 1970's. Have a nice day!
@@mn7486 Both the Saint Paraskeva Church and the Church of Christ Pantocrator were built by Tsar Ivan Alexander of Bulgaria and have nothing to do with the Greeks. You have one of the richest histories in the world. You don't need to appropriate other people's history.
I stayed once in Slanchev Brjag (sunny beach) and said 'never again!'. I've been back to Bulgaria several times (most recently a month or so ago) but stay in Nessebar or Pomorie... Sunny Beach is okay for a day trip but I can't take more... Burgas looks much better than it has in the past and I might consider a hotel near the park there...
Nessebar, Sunny Beach and Sveti Vlas were (and still technically are) 3 separate resorts. However, due to Sunny Beach's growth, they have merged into one urban area. You basically have Sveti Vlas in the north, Sunny Beah in the middle, and Nessebar in the south. If you book a stay in one of the 3, you can easily go to the other 2.
I remember going sunny beach as a 11 year old kid back in 1993. I remember it being full of gypsies kids, jelly fish and even dancing bears. Glad that the dancing bear have gone.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos the OP means real actual bears trained by the gypsies to dance around for money. Sad sight with chains, whips and pulled teeth. Pretty sure they banned these 20+y ago.
Hi Gabriel. I’ve been following your videos for a long time. For some random reason I am also in Bulgaria. I watched your old Bulgarian videos as part of my research for this trip. I will keep an eye out for you. If I see you lunch is on me. Keep up the great content✌️
Haha how cool! I was here in 2019 with my friends on party vacation. Sunny Beach is a interesting place that's for sure. But very cheap and nice. We got recommend to go to Restaurant Djanny.
I love these Bulgaria videos! The timing is perfect as I was planning a one month trip either to Bulgaria , Cartagena or Vietnam. I’m still debating so your videos really help! Sadly Flights to those places are not cheap right now and from what I can see in your videos these touristy areas of Bulgaria are also not cheap! Thx for sharing Gabriel, always great informative and beautifully shot videos☺️👌
I’ve made my mind up, I’m moving to Bulgaria. Love the chill vibes of this country, very welcoming feeling. And so many great country’s all within a days drive. Would love to see your perspective and experience in Croatia next! A bit crowed with the masses of tourists but draw dropping gorgeous
@@CaliWeHo regarding health care, I will give you a point ........ The price for a nuclear magnetic resonance in Bulgaria is 140 dollars, if it is by referral it is free. How much is it where you are?
I am Bulgarian raised and born in Varna one hour and a half away from sunny beach. About the health care you will be satisfied if you know where to go and who to visit. Everything happens if u have some normal amount of money. I have lived in three other countries in Europe and I haven't seen proper healthcare specially for foreigners.
I had a feeling when I was writing about Croatia you’d already had a visit Gabriel. Definitely about to check out your journeys I missed there. Love the real, raw and true perspective you give us on your travels. And I appreciate your concerns on the state of the healthcare system Jann. But structured government ran healthcare is not a thought for me. My practice is self-care and preventive care. Plainly don’t trust western medicine, the pharmaceutical paid off doctors and the bandaids they apply to more serious problems that often need to be addressed. So only way I’m seeing any kind of doctor is if I break a bone or something serious happens that I cannot remedy myself with preventative maintenance. Real food, fasting and getting that heart pumping regularly does wonders for the mind, body and soul
The Bar at the beginning of the video that you are curious about used to be the place to be around 2005-2012 lots of Bulgarian employees from Sunny beach used to gather their after a long 10-12h shift and just chill. The place had a great vibe to it. If I remember correctly it was called „Pasha“
Feels like I am traveling free again watching your video..the place retains its historic charm..one can still see the geography of the area...you're right..new buildings do not age well.
Nice very nice. Those stone churches was amazing. And they are still there from the 1600 . Loved the patterns. Yeah everything is there . Can't ask for anything more .weather is even nice. Have fun. Loved the video.
I'm living in Sofia and when choosing sea holidays, I would never step in Sunny Beach..@bulgarian Black Sea Coast I prefer either the very southern part (Sinemorets, Tsarevo, Primorsko, also visiting part of Strandzha mountain) or a little bit to the north (Varna, the beach of Albena, Blachik, the Mussles farm, the lighthouse of Shabla. For me even the town of Bourgas and Pomorie are better than S.B.
Great video 😁👍Bulgaria is really interesting and beautiful country 😁but my favourite place is Nesebar and Sunny beach 🏖Thanks sooo much for sharing and take care 👏😁
Sunny Beach is NOT the riviera of Bulgaria. It is just an overgrown resort that Bulgarians avoid like the plague. Used to be nice in the past Basically there are two parts of the Bulgarian seaside...those resort yowans around Varna to the North and around Burgas to the South. They all form the Bulgarian riviera! Close to Varna and Golden Sands there is a resort called Riviera with a super nice beach
From 9 to 15 century Nesebar was in Bulgaria. So only the oldest Chuch was bysantine. The next are in bysantine stile, but they were built from the Bulgarians.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Since 15 century to 1878 was Bulgaria under the Ottomanns. The darkest time in the bulgarian history. I am glad, that you was again in my homecountry Bulgaria. You are the best Vlogger! I am living in Germany and I am waiting for my vacation in Bulgaria after 1 week. Peak Musala, Borovets resort, the 7 Rila lakes, Island St. Anastasia against Burgas and Sozopol are in my Plan. Greetings.
Bulgaria,... My favourite country. Thanks for these beautiful blogs. Could I ask you to move your camera around a little bit slower please ... It's sometimes difficult on the eyes 😉
@@GabrielTravelerVideos , funny, Gabriel, I'm here. First time it's a real coincidence to be in one place with you. Hi from Sveti Vlas!!! Gala Vlasova!!! 👋 👍 🇨🇦 Bulgaria 🇧🇬!!! Come to us, to Admiral complex, a bunch of Canadians are waiting for you!!! 😆 🤣 😂
Haha, about that arabic looking place in the begining. That was a bar and far from communistic era :) It was working around 2010-2011 I think, it was brand new worked for maybe 2 yrs and then it was abandoned. I don't know why, but it was a cool place.
40 years ago, you have to speak the language , there was nothing in English, those days in every country is in English written, this I think is great !!!!!😄😄😄😄
I love your videos....I'm from Ukraine but my wife and children have been in Sunny Beach for 5 months already...They saw you in one of the restaurants where the song was playing...Have you ever seen the rain
Memories of a few years ago when I was property speculating and had an affair with the realtor as you call it in the USA. Brought it all back to me, if only I hadn’t been such a roaming freebies! Anyway checked out the song, love it! Great post again Gabriel, I need to return! Love that nation!
Taxi fare,was about right.. 60 lev for me a couple weeks ago from Burgas to Sunny beach ( £25 uk price)..and a nice trip also.. Service in Bulgaria is really so-so
If you live permanently in Bulgaria you don't go to Sunny Beach.The place where tourists from UK go !!! We go to south of Burgas to Sozopol or Chernomorets.Few Brits if any go there. Better food.
3:10 The benefits of youtube earnings. Gabriel is now able to treat himself with some "luxuries" here and there. I wish him to become a 5M subs influencer, he deserves that.
I went to sunny beach in 1999 and honestly loved it. Food was amazing, the beach was so clean, weather fab, and it was very inexpensive. Now I’m sure it has changed a lot since then but I would love to go back xx
I can’t believe you got trapped in a place like Sunny Beach... You should check out the southmost part of the Bulgarian coast - Sinemorets, Varvara, Ahtopol...
I stayed in Nessebar about 10 years ago and hadn't even heard about Sunny Beach at that point. Then, it seemed to be a resort primarily for Russians. However, they used to come to Nessebar for a day trip. There was a small miniature railway between the two - also used by adults. I realised Sunny Beach was not for me, but as you say, it's either your idea of heaven or hell. In my case, it was the latter and I never went.
Blame yourself for that. It was never a resort for Russians. You can literally walk to Sunny Beach from Nessebar. That was bwfore they practically fused. Sunny Beach is visible from Nessebar
Well al I can say is you're on the right track so to speak: Nessebar is 10 times better than "Sunny beach" yet you've chosen the most crowded time of the year, these days due to covid, wars, poverty and god knows what the 'season' is one month: 10th july - 10th august...self-explanatory. To avoid crowds: september or june is best.
Hey Gabe!!! You finally took a swing at one of those Eastern European punching machines! Lol I was one of the people who commented in previous video why they have so many in that part of the world? Looks like fun but still don’t get why they are so popular?!?! Lol
As a bulgarian I can tell you NEVER get on the taxi that stops at the bus station and never go on a taxi with no fare meter. Because they will overcharge you
For me the lesson from today's great video: Old buildings seem to fit to the senses better than much of modern and nearly all of post modern construction. On the other hand, flimsy beach towns with racket and chintz and gadgets seem be the same nightmare everywhere with their panhandling spirit. The old town is better.
Sunny beach is a tacky place - it's where most foreigners come, get drunk, do drugs and pay for "love". A hub for depravity if you will. The guys last video you saw were all foreigners. You probably noticed there are hardly any Bulgarians in Sunny Beach and the prices show it.
Sunny Beach is disliked even by the locals.Overcrowded and overpriced place where mainly come drunk english men, some of them are drunk to the point of unconsciousness even as they get off at the airport. If you want a budged vacation, go to Kiten/Primorsko.
Thanks for sharing great travel Videos. Can you please make camera movement a bit smoother from one side to another? Also if you can avoid going back and forth the same area shown once? Just a thought! Thanks.
So what was that thing at 1:15 in the video? And if you've punched one of those punching bags, what was your high score?
You tell me
@@IadoreyouMaxxy thank you
@@IadoreyouMaxxy Very cool. Where in Greece did you work?

Hi Gabriel, honestly this crappy place has no historycal value. It's old shisha bar dumped years ago. Sunny beach became bigger and bigger every 10-15 years and back in 2000s this area was part of the crowded zone, now its not. It's shame that they leaved it like that.
You are right about the time period the church was built in, but it was built in the Second Bulgarian Empire. So it is a Bulgarian church in the byzantine style.

Bulgarian churches ...
Just returned today from 12 days sunny beach. my third time still love it
Nesebar has been in Bulgaria since the 9th century, only the earliest churches were Byzantine.

They have those punching machines in bars throughout the midwest. They’re fun, especially betting with your friends.
Wow how it's changed I went on holiday to sunny beach in June 1990 it's unrecognizable
very true
My rule for traveling is if there are more than 2-3 languages on a menu, avoid eating at that restaurant.
Bulgaria,... My favourite country. Thanks for these beautiful blogs. Could I ask you to move your camera around a little bit slower please ... It's sometimes difficult on the eyes 😉
Interesting & neat to see: thanks!
A lot of people swimming: water must be nice.
Third. Nessebar is a much needed break from sunny beach.
Yep.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos , funny, Gabriel, I'm here.
First time it's a real coincidence to be in one place with you.
Hi from Sveti Vlas!!!
Gala Vlasova!!!
👋 👍 🇨🇦 Bulgaria 🇧🇬!!!
Come to us, to Admiral complex, a bunch of Canadians are waiting for you!!!
😆 🤣 😂
Haha, about that arabic looking place in the begining. That was a bar and far from communistic era :) It was working around 2010-2011 I think, it was brand new worked for maybe 2 yrs and then it was abandoned. I don't know why, but it was a cool place.
Really? Strange that it didn't last long.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Yea, who knows maybe it was illegal, maybe some mafia deal, coz as you can see it really looked great with all the details.
40 years ago, you have to speak the language , there was nothing in English, those days in every country is in English written, this I think is great !!!!!😄😄😄😄
I love your videos....I'm from Ukraine but my wife and children have been in Sunny Beach for 5 months already...They saw you in one of the restaurants where the song was playing...Have you ever seen the rain
Cool. 👍
How was the pepper steak? Looks good. The grilled vegetables look good too!
From Sunny Beach you can take a bus to Nesebar and also there is a ship that goes to there.
You showing the history great work👍
I love, love Bvlgaria very, very much ! I was there about 6 times. It is Heaven...
Gabe, loved your comment about the lady bus conductor!
I think she was just very hot and it made her feel tired and not well
Memories of a few years ago when I was property speculating and had an affair with the realtor as you call it in the USA. Brought it all back to me, if only I hadn’t been such a roaming freebies! Anyway checked out the song, love it! Great post again Gabriel, I need to return! Love that nation!
Did you get to walk down the southern side of the old town. It has amazing resteraunts perched over the waves
Visited the “ Old Mull” a couple of times. They’ve shot more than a few Chalga music videos from up there! Great place, am loving this post Gabriel!
Taxi fare,was about right.. 60 lev for me a couple weeks ago from Burgas to Sunny beach ( £25 uk price)..and a nice trip also.. Service in Bulgaria is really so-so
You should avoid popular places if you want better service. These are so packed, that they don't have to make any effort to have enough customers.
@@jordan9339 thats actually a good point Jordan,never looked at it that way.I found service iń off beaten track places like Shumen far better
18:07 "captan give present... rakiika" LMAO
It's Nessèbar. The second "E" is stressed :)
If you live permanently in Bulgaria you don't go to Sunny Beach.The place where tourists from UK go !!! We go to south of Burgas to Sozopol or Chernomorets.Few Brits if any go there. Better food.
3:10 The benefits of youtube earnings. Gabriel is now able to treat himself with some "luxuries" here and there. I wish him to become a 5M subs influencer, he deserves that.
Great video :) Truly showing the real Bulgarian seaside :)
Sunny beach can be a bit rough on the late evening. Usually just a few drunk tourists. Alcohol is cheap and easy.
Konstantinoupolis was named Istanbul 1926.
In England fun fairs always had those.Although maybe 35 years ago.Sure will still find in U.K. seaside towns.
But ,if you are french,...even Sunny beach is heaven as a tourist destination,,compared to Paris.
Very cool Gabriel 😎🙌☀️🌊 thank you! 😊❤
Very nice to see that you interact more with locals. Keep it up.
I went to sunny beach in 1999 and honestly loved it. Food was amazing, the beach was so clean, weather fab, and it was very inexpensive. Now I’m sure it has changed a lot since then but I would love to go back xx
I remember when you used to eat granola and yogurt for every meal, and now it's steak and wine. :)
And scrambled eggs with ice cream: th-cam.com/video/y7QQ7kKdvjI/w-d-xo.html
Noticing the middle eastern themes of those strange structures at the beginning, I wonder if they're some sort of shisha bar?
that is a very cool place, thanks
I can’t believe you got trapped in a place like Sunny Beach... You should check out the southmost part of the Bulgarian coast - Sinemorets, Varvara, Ahtopol...
Lots of people go to Sunny Beach. Is it cheaper in those other places you mention Sinemorets, Vervara?
Don't worry, I managed to escape.
@@kazzicup much cheaper
@@kazzicup It's way cheaper.
@@jordan9339 Thanks.
I stayed in Nessebar about 10 years ago and hadn't even heard about Sunny Beach at that point. Then, it seemed to be a resort primarily for Russians. However, they used to come to Nessebar for a day trip. There was a small miniature railway between the two - also used by adults. I realised Sunny Beach was not for me, but as you say, it's either your idea of heaven or hell. In my case, it was the latter and I never went.
Blame yourself for that. It was never a resort for Russians. You can literally walk to Sunny Beach from Nessebar. That was bwfore they practically fused. Sunny Beach is visible from Nessebar
In the beginning of the video you showed a bar or what used to be about 12/13 year ago, but it close due to the recession
Hi there, we are going there on the 15th and cannot wait it is amazing at night x have a lovely time x
At Sunny Beach you gotta go to the restaurant Gianni.
The four lads 1953 and there was a song in 1928 that Delt with Constantinople
Didn't realize it was a cover, good to know.
First punch got you by suprise. Second scored bigger with more time to power your punch.
Good video Gabe
Well al I can say is you're on the right track so to speak: Nessebar is 10 times better than "Sunny beach" yet you've chosen the most crowded time of the year, these days due to covid, wars, poverty and god knows what the 'season' is one month: 10th july - 10th august...self-explanatory. To avoid crowds: september or june is best.
Don’t mess with Gabriel high roller traveler
5:37
I once saw here someone doing backside turn and kick it was about score of 2000
Bro this is very good Тераса 😂😂
ohh!! Gabriel..@ 6:03. it was only a slap not a punch...a lover not a fighter
Hey Gabe!!! You finally took a swing at one of those Eastern European punching machines! Lol I was one of the people who commented in previous video why they have so many in that part of the world? Looks like fun but still don’t get why they are so popular?!?! Lol
The disused bar area you show in sunny beach looks like it was a Hookah bar.
As a bulgarian I can tell you NEVER get on the taxi that stops at the bus station and never go on a taxi with no fare meter. Because they will overcharge you
In Bulgaria there are 1500 tourist object that you should visit.
great video thank you
❤AZ❤
For me the lesson from today's great video: Old buildings seem to fit to the senses better than much of modern and nearly all of post modern construction. On the other hand, flimsy beach towns with racket and chintz and gadgets seem be the same nightmare everywhere with their panhandling spirit. The old town is better.
Sunny beach is a tacky place - it's where most foreigners come, get drunk, do drugs and pay for "love". A hub for depravity if you will. The guys last video you saw were all foreigners. You probably noticed there are hardly any Bulgarians in Sunny Beach and the prices show it.
Sunny Beach is disliked even by the locals.Overcrowded and overpriced place where mainly come drunk english men, some of them are drunk to the point of unconsciousness even as they get off at the airport. If you want a budged vacation, go to Kiten/Primorsko.
3:51 That’s the music from that cobbler youtuber lol.
Thanks for sharing great travel Videos. Can you please make camera movement a bit smoother from one side to another? Also if you can avoid going back and forth the same area shown once? Just a thought! Thanks.
