How do you get from Burgas Airport to Sunny Beach?
The public-transport journey involves a transfer in Burgas, while a taxi can be arranged at the airport. Burgas Airport directs passengers taking public transport to city bus No. 15, which runs to Burgas Central Bus Station. From there, buses or minibuses serve resorts north and south of the city.
For Sunny Beach, continue to Burgas South Bus Station, Sector 3, where buses depart for the resort. The airport’s public-transport information does not give a direct-airport-to-Sunny-Beach bus route, timetable, fare or journey duration, so plan for a connection rather than assuming there is a direct bus. The resort’s beach and dunes are part of its coastal setting.
Bus and public transport options
Public transport from the airport to Sunny Beach uses bus No. 15 to Burgas Central Bus Station, followed by a separate bus from Burgas South Bus Station. Most tourist traffic arriving at or departing from the airport travels by tour-company bus. Burgas bus timetables are also available.
Burgasbus provides two routes between Burgas and Sunny Beach. One goes via Sarafovo, Pomorie, Aheloy, Ravda and Nessebar Old Town; the other travels via Kableshkovo, Aheloy and Nessebar New Town. M-BUS and DS Bus departures appear on both routes, and some services operate on weekdays only.
Use the airport bus information for the first leg and the Burgasbus timetable for departures from Burgas South Bus Station. Those departure times are not airport departure times. For more about onward connections once you reach the resort, read the Sunny Beach bus station and local transport guide.
Taxi, transfer and car journeys
A taxi offers an airport pickup without the bus-station transfer. Yellow Eko Taxi cars wait in front of Terminal 2, and passengers can find taxi-company representatives there or at the taxi-service counter inside the terminal.
The airport taxi service operates 24 hours a day. Representatives can arrange a vehicle suited to your passengers and luggage. The airport also provides Eko Taxi booking numbers, but contact details and arrangements can change, so confirm them with the operator before relying on them.
For a car journey, confirm the route and expected duration with your driver or rental provider rather than treating the hotel’s airport travel time as the airport-to-resort journey time.
Continuing to Zefir Hotel
From Sunny Beach, continue to Zefir Hotel, a three-star hotel; Burgas Airport is about 41 minutes by car from the hotel. That time is a hotel-to-airport reference, not a Sunny Beach bus duration or an airport-to-hotel journey estimate.
What to check before travelling
Check the transfer details for each leg before you set out: city bus No. 15 from the airport, the connection between Burgas Central and Burgas South bus stations, and the Sunny Beach departure from Burgas South. The Burgasbus timetable includes weekday-only services, so confirm that a departure suits your travel day.
Schedules and taxi arrangements can change. Check the official site before you go, using Burgas Airport’s transport information and the Burgasbus timetable for the relevant legs.
