You should not have any problems when traveling from Bugras to Varna, because this route is quite simple. And now we will look at several options for how you can make this short trip.
Travel by car
If you choose a car to travel to Varna, then you have the opportunity to choose the road. The first option is the road № 906 . It is often used by tourists who have never been to these areas before, and those guided by a navigator end up on this road. As a result, they are faced with serpentines, a narrow road, lack of markings, and huge holes. Of all the pleasant things that can come from a trip along the 906th road, it’s the very beautiful scenery outside the window. But most likely you won’t see them, because your main task will be to maneuver between the pits at speed 30-40 km per hour. And remember there are no gas stations!
Photo of road 906 taken from a dashcam (the photo is not of the best quality, but you can form an opinion about the road):
It is better to go to Varna by motorway E-87, which contains all the attributes of a good quality road: markings, dividing strips, road signs, bumpers, gas stations and cafes.

This is due to the fact that the train does not go in a straight line along the coast, but takes a detour through many settlements where it stops. However, this travel option is suitable for those who are not in a hurry and want to see Bulgaria - its villages, fields, small towns and, of course, local vineyards. You can see all this from the windows of the train.

Quite a lot of tourists traveling to Sunny Beach for the first time and on their own, but have not decided where it is better to relax, in Varna or in Burgas, believe that they can always fly to a neighboring resort and look around there. The cost of flights is affordable, and the cost of air tickets will not affect how travelers relax.

However, this position is completely justified if we are talking about the French or Italian Riviera. In relation to Sunny Beach it is wrong. Planes depart 3 to 5 times a week and at different times. Tickets for these must be booked in advance. Moreover, if the required number of passengers is not reached, the flight is simply cancelled.

There are several ways to get from Burgas or Varna airport to the desired resort or hotel:
- Taxi. Taxis in Bulgaria are not cheap, especially at the airport. In 80% of cases, drivers will know Russian. They will also know that you are not familiar with the prices for taxi services in Bulgaria, so be sure that the taxi driver will inflate the price by one and a half times - this is the minimum.
- Public transport. After a long flight, waiting for registration, passport control - not the best way, but the cheapest.
- Transfer is the most convenient and reliable way to get to your holiday destination and from the airport. This is the same as a taxi, but you need to book it in advance.
Why is it worth ordering a private transfer?
We always use this service when we travel independently and even when we go on a package tour. We once went to Thailand on a package tour at a very ridiculous price; we couldn’t have done it cheaper on our own, but we still ordered a transfer from the airport to the hotel. As a result, those who flew with us, also on a voucher, and were left to wait for the travel agency bus, ended up at the hotel 3.5 hours later than us. In Bulgaria, everything is the same, while the travel agency bus will take all or some of the tourists to resorts and hotels - the journey to your hotel can take more than two hours instead of 10-30 minutes.
When and how to order a taxi from or to the airport?
Order a taxi Of course you need it in advance. Companies that provide transfer services have time restrictions on orders, so you need to book a taxi at least 16 hours before arrival, the minimum order time varies from 6 to 72 hours, depending on the country. So be sure to check this point.
How to order
- And so, a couple of days before departure, we are looking for a company that provides these services (we look at and - there the prices differ slightly, but the service provision is at the same level).
- When we have decided on the choice of company, we place the order. After ordering, you should be sent a voucher for booking a transfer; check it to see if everything is listed correctly and meets your wishes. Be sure to print out the voucher and present it to the driver!
- Transfer payment. You can pay in full when placing an order or in part, and pay the rest of the amount directly to the driver (the second method is not available for all companies, it also depends on the country).
Will you be met at the airport?
Yes, you will be met at the airport by a driver with a company nameplate. If you suddenly did not find your driver or he did not find you, call the hotline number, it is indicated on your voucher. Any problems (delay, flight cancellation, change of arrival airport, etc.) should be resolved by calling the hotline.
If you are traveling with children
Children are the same as adult passengers, since they take up space. In most countries, the presence of child seats is mandatory, but the presence of child seats in the car is not a prerequisite, so when booking a transfer, indicate that you are traveling with a child and you need a child seat.
Transfer cost
When placing an order, the price will be indicated per car, not per individual passenger. When choosing a car class, it will be indicated how many passengers and pieces of luggage it is designed for.
If your flight is delayed
This will not affect the cost of the trip in any way (the price is fixed), representatives of the transfer company track the information by flight number and will meet you. If you arrived earlier, you can call the driver and tell him that you are already there.
