Romanian Black Sea resorts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Romanian Black Sea Riviera stretches from Danube Delta in north down to the Bulgarian border in south, along 60 km of coastline.
The most important resort is Mamaia, situated north of the city of Constanţa on a narrow land slice that separates the Black Sea and the Siutghiol lake. Mamaia is a popular destination in summertime for Romanians and foreign tourists, as a result of a major investments program in tourism infrastructure.
Other important resorts have names from the Roman and Greek mythology: Neptun, Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, Olimp.
There are also Eforie Nord, Eforie Sud, 2 Mai, Cap Aurora.
Costineşti is the traditional students' resort, while Vama Veche (in extreme south, at the border with Bulgaria) is a fishermen village well known for its particular 'hippie' atmosphere.
The main cities in the region are Constanţa (the biggest port at the Black Sea), Mangalia and Năvodari.
The Romanian Black Sea riviera is served by Constanţa Airport which is connected to the main European capitals through charter flights during the summer season.
