Nessebar Windmill
Мелницата
A wooden old windmill beside the boardwalk across the isthmus linking the old and new towns, Nessebar's most iconic photo spot.
This wooden windmill stands on the narrow isthmus connecting the new town with the old peninsula. Its design follows the mill windmills common along the Black Sea coast in the 19th century, and after restoration it became one of Nessebar's landmarks. The wooden boardwalk beside it has sea on both sides: from one side you can look out over the hotels of Sunny Beach, and from the other you can see the old town walls and the harbor. At sunset, the backlit silhouette is very photogenic. Admission is free, and it is an easy stop on the way into the old town.
