Starting October 11, 2024, a Turkish shipping company will operate a ferry connection between Istanbul and Burgas. It will mainly transport tourists who are in Turkey and want to come on a sea trip to Bulgaria for a day or two, Maria Belkoleva from the Board of Directors of "Port of Burgas" told TravelNews.

The first 200 guests will be mainly Americans, Canadians, British and Germans. They will visit Burgas, Nessebar and Sozopol, Belkoleva said. The idea is that from next year the big cruise companies that dock in Istanbul would include Burgas and the region in their one-day excursions.
