About the Plovdiv – Odesa route
The Plovdiv – Odesa bus is the return leg from central Bulgaria to the Ukrainian coast. Boarding is at the Plovdiv-South coach station; the route then heads north across the Danube, through Romania and Moldova to Odesa. The trip is long — over a day on the road with three borders — so the coach makes several rest and meal stops. It is used by Ukrainians working or studying in Bulgaria and by travellers returning from a trip around the country. Given the duration, bring water, snacks and a charger. Tickets are sold as a reservation: reserve online, pay the driver at boarding.
