go top Q75: How can we easily get form Bourgas airport to Balcik? How long does it take?
A75: The fastest and easest is route (road) Bourgas - Varna - Balchik.
Option 1: bus Bourgas - Varna - Balchik (I am not sure there is direct connection Bourgas - Balchik and my be you must change buses in Varna)
- from airport get a taxi (or bus) to the Bourgas central bus & train station (around 8-9 km)
- from the station get a bus to Varna (around 130 km)
- from Varna get bus to Balchik (around 40km)
There are private bus shutles (white mini buses for 8-16 persons) that are faster than normal buses and have different station near Bourgas bus station - just ask for minibus Bourgas - Varna
Option 2: bus Sunny beach - Varna - Balchik
- from the airport get a taxi or bus to Sunny beach (it is around 25-30km)
- get a bus or mini bus (small private buses for 8-16 persons) to the city of Varna (around 100 km)
- get bus to Balchik (around 40km)
(Mini buses have different station near central bus station Varna - just ask for minibus Varna - Balchik)
Option 3: from Bourgas airport or from city of Bourgas or from Sunny beach use rent a car services
- this is the easiest way but is more expensive and not all of the rent a car companies have offices in both destination (Bourgas and Balchik or Sunny beach and Balchik) and there is no possibility to drop (return) the car in Balchik.
