The high-speed passenger ships "Comet" transporting tourists between Bulgaria and Turkey will be back in a month for the beginning of the summer season. The retro ships were stopped from motion more than 15 years ago, but now the businessman Radostin Dachev from the seaside city of Burgas decided to revive the idea and has already bough one ship for 240 passengers, which will be named Laura. The vessel can move with 30 to 40 knots so the distance between Nessebar and Istanbul will take five hours to travel. The ship will start from the Nessebar Port late in the evening and will arrive in Istanbul early on the next morning. The "sea busses" as they are known in Bulgaria were travelling between the ports of Burgas and Varna and Burgas and Sozopol.
