The old name of the city of Varna is Odessos , which literally means town on water. The lively, modern Varna was first mentioned in chronicles as a settlement during the 8th century.
Nessebar, one of the oldest settlements on the Balkans, is situated on a rocky Black Sea peninsula. The town was first mentioned by Herodotus in his chronicles describing the march of the Persian King Darius against the Scythians in 513 BC.
