The Crimean Peninsula is 1,252km from Burgas, Bulgaria.
The Ukrainian border to Burgas, Bulgaria is 903km including two border crossings.
In comparison the distance by air from Donetsk in the Donbas region of Ukraine to Antalya Turkey is 1366km and Dalaman, Turkey is 1460km.
I'm sure that the war in Ukraine has obviously had an affect on bookings to Bulgaria and the nearby region but I wouldn't necessarily put it down to the situation. Although it's been popular in the past I think that the majority of people who have holidayed in Bulgaria have decided that multiple visit's are not going to happen. You get far more for your money elsewhere as it definitely doesn't have the appeal as the likes of Greece or Spain.
