Beautiful beaches, ancient culture and magical cures... these are just a few of the many
reasons to trade the Med for the Black Sea this summer!
Saturn, Venus and Jupiter are
closer than you think! For anyone
who feels the Mediterranean has
become a bit of a “been there, done
that” experience, the resorts on
Romania’s Black Sea coast – some of which
bear stellar names – may just be the perfect new
summer playgrounds.
The Romanian coast is renowned for its fi ne,
soft sand and safe, gently sloping beaches. And
because there are no currents or tides, they
are safe for families with children. Mamaia, the
oldest and largest, is an ideal choice, thanks to
its growing number of child-friendly attractions
– including a Dolphinarium and Planetarium,
both within easy reach of the beach – not to
mention a great assortment of fun water sports
and extensive choice of hotels, restaurants,
and entertainment. In fact, all of the Black Sea
beaches, stretching from Mangalia to Mamaia,
are dotted with fi ne resorts and hotels and
countless sports and entertainment facilities.
The young crowd tend to opt for Costinesti,
which is packed all summer long, and where
open-air discos ensure they are able to fully
enjoy themselves, day and night.
