What to expect

This full day tour features a trio of Bulgaria's southern highlights. You'll explore the ancient town of Sozopol, cruise the bay to see it from afar and enjoy lunch at a folkloric restaurant. The trip finishes up at the fairytale castle of Ravadinovo. Ivaylo, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Marble from the Strandzha Mountains contains micro-diamonds, which appear to change colour depending on the time of day. The castle was built with Strandzha marble, so it looks pink in the morning, white in the daytime, while at night it seems to glow.'

Sozopol's up first. This 2,000-year-old town has a long story to tell, not least that the ancient Greeks settled here and christened it Apollonia back in the day. You'll take a scenic boat trip first in Sozopol Bay, passing St Ivan's Isle, to the River Ropotamo and back, then venture into the historic old town for a guided walking tour. Relics from the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman empires jostle for your attention along the cobbled streets. Today, Sozopol serves up old world charm, two fine beaches and lots of cafés, boutiques and galleries.

You'll have lunch at a family-owned restaurant, followed by free time for a spot of sightseeing or shopping. And last but not least, you'll cast your eyes on Ravadinovo Castle, whose turrets and towers that make it look like a scene lifted from a storybook. Admire its gardens, too, which overflow with flowers, peacocks and statues and feature a petting zoo perfect for little ones.

Luxury family catamaran cruise from Nessebar Bay

Sailing the Black Sea on a luxury catamaran with food and drink aplenty has got to be up there with the top ten ways to relax on holiday. And this daytrip along the Bulgarian Riviera will leave you feeling chilled, fulfilled and even more smitten with this part of the world. Stefan, an experienced guide onboard, says, “best of all, it's luxury that won't break the bank. And because all children 11 and under sail for free, it's a wallet-friendly day out, too – so you've got the perfect excuse to splurge on ice-cream or baklava back onshore.”Your transport of choice doesn't get much more state of the art than this. You'll be sailing on a brand-spanking new catamaran – the largest luxury catamaran on the Black Sea. This sets the tone for your trip. Once you set sail, you'll be waited on with platters of salads, meats, cheeses and pasta for lunch, while drinks from the open bar flow freely. On this exclusively TUI experience, there'll even be an animator onboard to entertain the kids (big and small).As you head out of Nessebar Bay, look back to shore to admire a coastline dotted with green forests and terracotta rooftops. Then, it's out to sea for sunbathing, swimming and snorkelling. Your crew know the best spots for anchoring up, so don a mask and snorkel to explore the local marine life. Look out for seahorses and crabs as you look around. Stefan adds, “it's really common to see bottlenose dolphins out here – they're so playful and love bow riding when the catamaran sails at full speed.” Whether you're lucky enough to spot a flippered friend or not, this deluxe day out will be a highlight of your family's holiday.
