What your day looks like
The Black Sea Coast is a very important region of Romania and during this trip, you will understand why!

In Constanta, you will travel back time and find out more about these colonists. Let’s not forget about Danube Delta, the second-largest river delta in Europe, after the Volga and the best preserved on the continent.
