About the Nesebar – Chernivtsi route

The Nesebar to Chernivtsi coach brings travellers back home after a summer on the Bulgarian seaside — students, seasonal workers and families wrapping up a coastal holiday. The journey covers roughly 970 kilometres and takes between 19 and 23 hours, as the bus leaves the resort town of Nesebar, crosses the Bulgarian-Romanian and then the Romanian-Ukrainian borders, and arrives in the welcoming city of Chernivtsi in western Ukraine. Departures are usually from the station near the old town or from stops along the resort strip, while drop-off is at the central Chernivtsi bus terminal, with easy onward connections home. You pay for your ticket by card online in hryvnia: the full amount is charged at the moment of booking, so there is nothing extra to hand the driver during the trip.
