Nessebar is easily accessible by public transport from the nearest major cities and is very close to a major international airport.

As it forms one group of very close towns with the surrounding resorts of Ravda, Pomorie, Sveti Vlas and Sunny Beach, we describe travel between these towns in more detail in the Transport chapter.
