Burgas Airport Transfer (BOJ) — Sunny Beach

Burgas is Bulgaria's fourth-largest city and the gateway to the southern Black Sea resort coast. Burgas Airport (BOJ) is 10 kilometres north-east of the city, with the airport-to-Sunny-Beach transfer being the most-booked ground journey in Bulgaria. Sunny Beach (Slanchev Bryag) is 35 kilometres north along the E87 coastal road — an 8-kilometre strip with roughly 40,000 hotel beds. Nessebar's UNESCO-listed old town is just beyond Sunny Beach on a rocky peninsula, and Sozopol sits 35 kilometres south of BOJ. Saturday charter rotation days at BOJ run arrivals from 04:00 to 23:00 with ground-transport rank queues peaking mid-afternoon. A LocalsRide transfer meets you at arrivals at a fare confirmed in EUR.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the Burgas Airport to Sunny Beach transfer?

35 km, 40–55 min via E87. Peak Saturday afternoons add 10–20 min as incoming and outgoing resort guests cross over. Public bus has multiple stops; metered airport taxi is 30–45 EUR. A pre-booked private transfer locks the EUR fare at reservation.

Is Nessebar or Sunny Beach a better stay for a coast holiday?

Sunny Beach is Bulgaria's biggest beach development — high density, many all-inclusive hotels, long sand beach, nightlife-heavy. Nessebar has a UNESCO historic old town with 11th-century churches and a quieter vibe, just south of the Sunny Beach strip. Both are connected by a 5-km beachfront road.
