Always fun to see a new Snail Travelers video -- thanks for the info about Bulgaria. I'm staying in Tirana for a few months now, and just re-watched the video with footage of your 1991 visit to Albania. What a contrast with Tirana today, and what an amazing place! Thanks again for your great work
The Sea Gardens are especially interesting to me since there is one in Odessa, Ukraine which is also on the Black Sea. They also had a dolphinarium in Odessa.
Nice vlog, but in my opinion you got wrong impressions re both Sea Gardens. The one in Varna is HUGE compared to that in Burgas. Also it is more beautiful and relaxing, a lots of events happen there which you probably didnt have a chance to see. In Varna you have more museums, f.i. in the historical museum one can see the oldest gold treasure in the world ( dated 5th millennium BCE) found in the area. Outside Varna there is a desert named "Pobiti Kamani" (tubular concretions formed around "rising methane-bearing fluid plumes", is a desert-like rock phenomenon). Also 10km away from the city it is located "Aladzha Monastery" ( Medieval cave monastery).... Thank you for sharing your journey with us. :)))
Thank you so much for sharing this information, it is very helpful. You gave us a lot of ideas for the next time we come back to this area of Bulgaria. Thank you again!
Beach in Varna is better as sand, sand in Burgas is generally black and not fine in the high sun. Sea park in Varna is biggest park in all Balkans, it is really huge. Well Burgas is some cheaper, personally I do prefer compared to Varna, streets are better and infrastructure at all, there is a hightway to Sofia, Varna - not, really I think to buy some property in Burgas ... you dont have to take on mind fast food, there is nothing special - gyros, falafel ... not so big deal.
At the time of communism, Varna was the best city to live in. However, in the last 10-15 years, Burgas has overtaken Varna as a place to live. Burgas has better infrastructure, a better maintained sea garden, better public transport and more - a good sports facility. Burgas municipality has two municipal ships with which you can go to the largest one attraction of Bulgaria - the island of St. Anastasia. You have correctly determined that Burgas is the better city.
Thank you for sharing this information, it is very helpful. I didn't know about St. Anastasia. It looks like a nice place we could visit the next time we are in Burgas.

The Sunny Beach/Nessebar/Sveti Vlas area is very busy in the summer (in between Burgas and Varna).
This is helpful information, thank you for sharing.

Thanks for sharing that! I hope we can visit Odessa some day.

VARNA!!! ANOTHER NAME OF THIS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL CITY IS "THE SEA CAPITAL CITY OF BULGARIA" !!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing that!
Another category: golf. Burgas -- 0. Varna has three great courses, including maybe the most beautiful in the world, 30 miles to the north.
Thanks for the info about golfing in the area. Happy New Year!
