And after exploring this historic town – known as the ‘pearl of the Black Sea' – you'll end your day on a scintillating high with a full-throated Bulgarian village feast.You'll begin with a guided walking tour of Nessebar old town of, which is crammed into a narrow peninsula jutting out into the Black Sea. Such is its wealth of history that Nessebar is a UNESCO World Heritage Site – it's about the same size as the Vatican but with more churches. Winding streets and alleys of old timber homes lead you to tree-lined plazas with ruined Byzantine churches. There'll be some free time before the day's climax.We'll then head to a nearby village for a proper Bulgarian banquet at a folk-themed restaurant. The highlight of the evening, tough, is the performance by the ‘nestinari' – those who dance barefoot over the smouldering embers of a fire.

Fire of the Balkans Dinner Show
Enjoy an evening to remember at the Fire of the Balkans dinner show. Like a living museum, Bulgarian history and heritage are very much a part of the experience. Even the venue is special – it's every bit the authentic Balkan settlement. Try your hand at traditional activities like pottery making and loom weaving and then head to the banquet hall for dinner. After your fill of country fare, you'll watch a flurry of colourful costumes whirl before your eyes and witness age-old customs brought to life. But the real showstopper is the fire dance – an edge-of-your seat spectacular that sees brave souls walk across a bed of hot coals.
