Transportation
An attractive way to organize your travel is to use a direct regular or charter flight
to Burgas airport.
There is a regular bus line 15
from Burgas airport to the bus station south (Автогара Юг) located near the city center.
The latter is close to the railway station and serves as a starting point
for the regular buses to Sozopol
(and other resorts close to Burgas). Some of the transport companies operating the line Sofia-Burgas-Sofia also use south bus station.
Burgasbus provide
a map of Burgas with bus lines, as well as
Route planner if you would like to check connections according to your arrival time
at Burgas airport (the bus stop to South bus/railway station is "Terminal south").
Alternative way to the public bus is to
rent a car
or use a taxi from the
Burgas airport.
The conference participants who will fly to Sofia airport
may rent-a-car to Sozopol, or use regular buses via
Central bus station
(trip is approximately 6-7 hours, depending on the amount of stops). Be careful if you choose a bus to Burgas if it arrives
at Bus station South or Bus station West. In the latter case you may need to use the public transport in Burgas (see above).
From Sofia airport to central bus station and railway station you can use
Metro.
If you decide to spend a day/night in Sofia,
a timetable for the public transport in Sofia is available
here.
Time table for the railway may by found here, choosing the city where you would like to start from
