Nessebar nomad scores

Affordable monthly living, with a resort dining premium. The furnished-stay budget is above Burgas and Bansko but below Plovdiv. 2 3 26

Longer stays outside peak summer can be inexpensive. Studio offers provide a lower bound rather than a one-bedroom market median. 26

Burgas provides a regional price reference, but commuting adds cost. Short stays require the more expensive monthly product. 21
