Good morning/evening.
 
I have been away again for a few days, we took the family that are over on holiday for a break to the coastal town of Nessebar for some well needed relaxation. I love Nessebar but it is better out of season for me when it is not so busy.
 

 
 
 
Nessebar
 
The old town, with its cobbled streets is on a rocky peninsula along the Black Sea, the over 3,000-year-old site of Nessebar was initially established as a Thracian settlement known as Menebria. In the early 6th century BC, it evolved into a Greek colony. The city's surviving structures, primarily from the Hellenistic period, include the acropolis, a temple dedicated to Apollo, an agora, and sections of a Thracian fortification wall. Notable medieval monuments, such as the Stara Mitropolia Basilica and the fortress, reflect Nessebar's significance as a key Byzantine town on the western Black Sea coast.

The wooden houses from the 19th century are the typical Black Sea architectural style of that era. As a modern addition many of the houses now have shops or stalls for the many tourists.
 

 
 
 
Among the ancient remnants is the 5th-century Church of St. Sofia, known for its stone columns and grand arched windows. The 11th-century Church of St. Stephen is home to hundreds of mural paintings and a large, intricately decorated altarpiece. Because of the sheer amount of historic buildings, Nessebar was included on the UNESCO list of world heritage sites in 1983.
 
 

 
There are lots of little shops to look at as you stroll around as well plenty of bars and restaurants to stop at for refreshments.
 
As well as the old town there is also 'New Nessebar' where there are many water parks, shops and large hotels.
 
 
When we get home the plan is to start to focus our time back on crypto, I have research to do and plan on learning more on reading charts and to improve my trading skills (I am quite slow lol). Remember that you need to step away from the charts sometimes and just enjoy time with family or friends and come back refreshed and ready to get back to the screens and charts.
 
As always thank you for reading and please feel free to comment.
