INCOMING ROMANIA

The Black Sea Coast stretches out for 244km / 153 miles and is the main touristic area of Romania. Here the sun shines 10-11hrs / day, there are about 24-25 sunny days / month (in summer), tides are practically non-existent and the air is well-ionised, rich in marine aerosols.
The southern part of the coast, 72km / 45miles of fine sandy beaches, from the unspoilt Danube Delta (home of over 300 species of birds) to the Bulgarian border has developed into a string of beach resorts (which rank among the very few beaches in Europe able to offer all day long sunshine) and health spas.

All the resorts are easily accessible either by train or by bus and offer good accommodation facilities (over 125,000 beds in hotels and villas). 
However, the beaches are not the only assets of the Romanian Black Sea Coast. The high solar radiation intensity is said to have stimulating and healing effects. The entire complex of sand, air, sun and water is a beneficial one, with major results in thalassic therapy and psalmotherapy.

The gate to all the resorts is the city of Constanta (the biggest Romanian port). Founded by the Greeks, under the name of Tomis, in the 6th century BC, Constanta is accessible by car (3.5hrs drive from Bucharest), plane, train (express trains to / from Bucharest or other cities), and ferry (182 marine miles from Bosphorus).
