I have been told there is a big problem with prostitutes in Sunny Beach , even if you are with your partner, and they also try to mug you at the same time, I am going in August with my husband, will we need to avoid any areas.
Well i have never been before, but from what i have heard, yes there is a few prostitutes but, people only get mugged if they are stupid. It's the same everywhere just don't go around flashing bling or what not. Just don't worry there are a few people who go every summer on here and they ave said numerous times, they have never been bothered by prostitutes. Just they always said dont be stupid ;. We've never had a problem Julien, and Ive been going to Sunny Beach , twice a year for over 12years!
If you hadnt heard the stories you probably would not be aware of them. I have sat many times upstairs in the Corner Bar, people watching and they tend to target the young single males. Just be sensible as you would anywhere else in the world. Be careful on any crowded buses, the pickpockets to tend to operate there. Just go and enjoy yourselves. Have to agree with WL. We have been going for a number of years and have never been troubled with prostitutes.
On the public buses going to Nessebar keep tight a hold of your bag and don't get too friendly with little old ladies with big smiles. Thank you all for replys, I feel better now. Although hubby might be upset if he doesnt get propersitioned. I dont have a problem them being there as long as they keep to themselves. I love people watching so will look forward to that. Will it be best to keep jewelery to a minimum, not that i have loads but would not like to be open to temptation?
I have visited Bulgaria many times over a period of 20 years. Mainly visited Golden Sands but have visited Sunny Beach too. I have never at anytime felt threatened or unsafe. Please dont believe everything you hear. I would say that it was far more obvious along Party Street in Golden Sands. No matter where you visit tourists are always targeted but Sunny Beach is no worse than anywhere else.
