How many people live in Tankovo?

As of 15 June 2026, the GRAO civil register listed 1,394 people with a permanent and 1,446 with a current address — up 7.6 percent from 1,295 permanent addresses at the end of 2021. That makes Tankovo one of the growing villages of the Nessebar municipality.

What sets Tankovo apart from Kosharitsa?

Both are growing villages of the Nessebar municipality behind Sunny Beach. Kosharitsa sits on the slope of the Stara Planina — greener, with view positions; Tankovo lies on the plain — flatter, more down-to-earth, with classic village plots. Which suits better depends on budget and purpose; Svetlana shows both in direct comparison.

Is Tankovo a holiday village?

No. Tankovo is a year-round village with its own administration and a growing register population. The resorts are close enough for beach and seasonal infrastructure — but the village itself lives its own quiet year.

Tankovo

Tankovo is a village in the Nessebar municipality on the plain west of Sunny Beach — quiet residential land a few kilometres behind the coast's largest resort. The village has its own mayoralty (kmetstvo) and is demonstrably growing: the GRAO civil register counted 1,295 people with a permanent address on 31 December 2021 and already 1,394 by 15 June 2026 — up almost 8 percent. Those registered with a current address most recently numbered 1,446. Tankovo is not a resort but an organically grown village with year-round life, benefiting from the proximity of Sunny Beach and Nessebar without taking on their prices and bustle. Svetlana shows the locations and explains which streets suit which purpose.
