TRAVEL AND JOINING INSTRUCTIONS

There are three main international airports in Bulgaria: in Sofia (430 km from Sunny Beach), Varna (90 km from Sunny Beach) and Burgas (35 km from Sunny Beach).

There are several different ways to get from Sofia, Varna or Burgas to Sunny Beach.

by bus: Please note that you can take a bus from Sofia or Varna to Sunny Beach, but there is no public bus service from Burgas Airport to Sunny Beach. To go to the bus station in Sofia or Varna, take a taxi from the airport. It is advisable to ask the taxi driver approximately how much the trip will cost before getting into the car as he may overcharge you later.

There are buses from Sofia or Varna to Burgas on the hour. Take those buses which stop at Sunny Beach or Nesebar. Alternatively, you can travel to Burgas, but then you will have to take another bus to Sunny Beach (45 km away). The journey from Sofia to Sunny Beach is approximately 7 hours and from Varna to Sunny Beach approximately 1 hour 30 min.

by car: you can order a car from the selected hotels which we offer to book for you. Please inform us by email to send you the necessary information. The hotel will issue an invoice for the amount you pay.

by taxi: we recommend that you use a taxi from Burgas Airport to Sunny Beach. It will be too expensive to travel by taxi from Sofia or Varna, unless you are a group of three or four.

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES

The social programme is of paramount importance for the success of the symposium. The informal atmosphere of the activities helps you to expand your social contacts with the rest of the participants. You will be informed about the events and times of the social programme additionally. A complete description of the provided activities will be published at http://travel.sciencebg.net.

FURTHER INFORMATION

Further information will be periodically available on this website. Any queries about the organisation and programme of the symposium should be addressed to Mr Ivan Genov, symposium coordinator and director of Info Invest Ltd, Burgas.
