Constanta tour
Your day trip from Bucharest to the Black sea will continue in the afternoon. You will travel near Constanta, in Mamaia resort. Mamaia is probably the most popular seaside resort in Romania due to its many clubs and music festivals.
It has very few permanent inhabitants (7 declared in 2002), but is overpopulated during the summer. Mamaia is built on a coastal ridge between the Black Sea and the estuary called Siutghiol (Süt-Göl: “milky lake” in Turkish). The ridge has a length of 8 km, but a width of only 300 m. The very long and wide beach is covered with very fine sand, mineral parts, shell parts.
You can spend an hour or two on it to sunbathe and to breathe the salty air.
After this, it is time to go back to Bucharest. After the ride back, your guide will drop you off at your hotel.
Do you want to spend more time at the seaside? Try the Dobrogea and Danube Delta 4-day tour and visit also the Danube delta.
