ISTANBUL
Bus (there is no boat !!! a lot of guides are talking about but it's just a myth !)

Everyday from Varna are leaving buses to Istanbul to a organised excursions. Usualy it is a 3-4 days trip with hotel and visits included. In May I was to a 3 days excursion and payed 130 levas.

If you don't need the organised excursion and you prefer a simple trajet, visit the travel agencies in the Varna central streets and ask for a simple one way ticket.
