If tickets and transfers are included in your trip, it is not necessary to steam. Brought, taken away.
And if you yourself are planning a trip, then you need to take care of everything in advance. In principle, the Balchik can be reached easily from all major and not very large cities in Bulgaria by bus. But closest from the major - Varna - between them about 45 km. In Balchik there is no airport, and in Varna there. From Sofia to Balchik is far away, about 500 km, you can, of course, before Sofia, and there is to finish the bus to the Balchik. But why strain and waste time, if you can immediately fly to Varna? From Russia, airplanes fly to Varna, even directly there. These aircraft can also be found in Moscow, and in St. Petersburg, and Volgograd, Yekaterinburg, Ufa, Lower, etc. From Moscow, for example, a plane flies around 2.5 hours. It costs a ticket, however, it is expensive, about 8-9 thousand rubles. With a change in a bit cheaper, but the transplants are wow, what long and inconvenient. Not the lowest prices, hurt. At the same time, surprisingly low prices come across in Sofia, so if you want to specifically save, take to Sofia.
Then you need to get to the Varna station. Varna Airport is located in 8 kilometers from the city center.
The airport is 50 years old, by the way to say. And in it as much as 5 Terminals: two for departing, two for arriving aircraft, and one - spare, in case of a high season.
We are looking for a bus stop between terminals 1 and 2, opposite the parking lot. The passage is within a pair of lion. Sit down on bus No. 409 (Golden Sands - Aksakovo).
These buses go from 06 am to 11 pm every 15 minutes. You can take a taxi from the airport. Look for a taxi opposite the 4th Terminal "Zone of the arrival of international flights". To the center of Varna you will be taken by a stage for 10-15 lion (5-year euros) minutes for fifteen, but perhaps more expensive.
Now we are going to the Balchik. On the bus station "AVTOGAR" or "MLAIN" (they are not far from each other, almost opposite), you can take the buses to Kavarna and Shablu, which drive through the Balchik either in the minibus directly to the Balchik.
This is quite a frequent phenomenon, these minibuses go every hour, somewhere from 6:30 in the morning. True, if in the morning the buses are sent every hour, then in the lunchtime there may be a break. The road takes about 40-45 minutes, and the ticket stands in the region of 5 leftions.
You can and taxi, of course, catch. Only then catch a taxi is not the Grand Hotel, but from the Varna Highway. So save somewhere 10 leftions. But the cheaper 50 lips will not work.
You can with transfers. For example, get to Albena and then by taxi.
Like this. If they decided to go from Sofia by bus, look at the station direct buses to Balchik at the station. They go, it seems like, three times a day, and once at night. Of course, this is also a fruit. It will be 8-8.5 hours. But relatively inexpensive - approximately 35 levs (somewhere 18 euros).
As for transport in the ball itself, it is, of course, buses. From the Main Balchik Station, you can go to neighboring cities, Albenu, Kavarna, etc. And you can also find minibuses on the main square that will take you to the station. Well, and taxi taxi. Taxi drivers in Balchik, by the way, are surprisingly obsessive.
