Mamaia beach

  
Mamaia should be the first summer destination for those who want to enjoy relaxing days surrounded by sandy beaches, and glowing nights spent dancing until morning in the best clubs on the coast. 

Mamaia beach

Mamaia lies on a strip of land between the Black Sea and Siutghiol Lake. Natural conditions are excellent: large sandy beaches, pleasant breeze and warm sea water. The beach season is at its best between mid May and late September, when average daytime temperatures range between 25 to 30 degrees Celsius (78 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit). The water stays warm until mid autumn.

Sunrise in Mamaia

Mamaia resort was gifted with one of the largest beaches in the whole Europe and it is the only resort in Europe to have the pure white sand only found in tropical places such as Hawaii. The beach covers an area of almost 10 km, has a width that ranges between 100 and 300m and is covered with very fine soft white sand. The coastal platform is characterized by the smooth slope, the sea floor by the lack of rocks therefore the entry in the sea is done smoothly, the depth of the sea growing gradually on a rather long distance. The sea is great offering funny, small waves and the view (especially at sunrise) is fantastic. Lovers and the kids enjoy collecting shells and making sand castles or sculptures.

Histria Citadel ruins

• Greek citadel of Histria was the oldest town in Romania. The Histria citadel was founded by the Greek colonists from Miletus in 657 BC. Name Histria (Istria in Greek) comes from Istros. Istros was the name given by the Greeks to the Danube.

Tropaeum Traiani monument

• The Citadel of Adamclisi dates back to year 106. It was built on the place where  the final battle between Dacians and Romans happend. Tropaeum Traiani monument was raised in honor of the Roman Emperor Trajan between 106-109 to commemorate the Roman Empire’s victory over the Dacians, in 102.

 

• Capidava was a Geto-Dacian fortified center and after that a Roman camp on the right bank of the Danube. During the Roman Empire had an important role in the defense line of the Danube.

• Citadel of Callatis was founded in the sixth century BC, on a Getic settlement, by a greek colony and prospered for 1200 years, sometimes free, other times under successive powers of Persians, Macedonians, Dacians and Romans. Here it was found a very old papirus, actually the only one in Romania.

Romanian Black Sea resorts

The fact that the capital of Romania, Bucharest, is the most popular destination in Romania is very well known. However, I am not going to start presenting Bucharest to you, for now. Instead, because the summer is coming soon :) , I will introduce to you one of the favorite summer destinations in Romania: Black Sea Riviera. 

Romanian Black Sea shore is located in the southeast part of the country and is ideal for summer holidays. Warm, dry and sunny climate, soft sand beaches, modern resorts and various entertainment facilities attract many tourists at Romanian Black Sea resorts during the summer (late May to mid September).

If you are interested to visit Romania and want to make a flight booking, for sure you want to know if there are airports and where. Well, there are many flights to Bucharest (Otopeni) but almost all Romanian big cities have got airports and they are spread all over the country. Therefore you can choose your destination and book a flight. You can find below briefly presented the main public airports from Romania. 

In the close neighborhood of Bucharest, within Otopeni city limits, there is Romania’s busiest international airport - Henri Coandă International Airport (IATA: OTP, ICAO: LROP), previously named Bucharest Otopeni International Airport. Romania’s national airline, TAROM, has got it’s headquarter here but the airport also serves as operations base for charter or low-cost airlines such as BlueAir, Wizz Air. Also, Tiriac Air - a Romanian corporate charter airline which operates helicopters and business jets - has got it’s headquarter here. 

Where is Romania?

Earth => Europe=> Romania :) 

 

Romania is located in Southeastern Europe, in the northern part of the Balkan Peninsula.

Romania shares borders with Bulgaria to the south, Serbia to the southwest, Hungary to the northwest, Ukraine to the north and to the east and Moldova to the east.

The Capital City of Romania is Bucharest (Bucuresti), located in the south – southeast of the country, and has over 2 million people. 

The Carpathian Mountains (also known as the Transylvanian Alps) traverse the centre of the country while the Danube River naturally “draws” a large part of the country’s border with Serbia and Bulgaria and ends its European journey flowing into the Black Sea but only after forming the Danube Delta – one of the largest and best preserved delta in the world, a biosphere reserve and a biodiversity World Heritage Site.  

Hint: Where is Transylvania? Transylvania is the Romanian province located inside the Carpathian Mountain.  

Hint: According to the World Travel and Tourism Council, Romania was estimated to have the fourth fastest growing travel and tourism total demand in the world, with an estimated potential growth of 8% per year from 2007 to 2016.
