The main one is named “South” and is basically serving the lines on the seaside and other big cities in Bulgaria like the capital Sofia, Plovdiv and Varna. Some buses leave every 30 minutes and cover the line Pomorie – Aheloy – Ravda – Nessebar – Sunny Beach – Obzor. Another crucial bus line covers the resorts Chernomorets – Sozopol –Primorsko.
