Living in Nesebar and Sunny Beach year-round
In short: sea, tourism jobs and crowds in summer; from November to April Sunny Beach is largely closed. For year-round living, Nesebar's new town, Ravda or Burgas (35 km) work better. Nesebar municipality: about 36,700 people (2025).
The old town is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Rent long-term between September and May; check maintenance fees and heating before buying in a holiday complex. Hospitals are in Burgas; Burgas Airport is about 25 km away.
