Romania tour: the Black Sea & Danube Delta Tour

The Black Sea & Danube Delta Tour in Romania starts with a pickup from your hotel at 08:00 am and drive to Constanta, the oldest city on the Romanian territory (657 BC). In the area, a Greek colony called Tomis was founded. Later on, the Romans have conquered the Greek settlements and renamed them Constantiana, after the sister of the Roman Emperor Constantin the Great. Nowadays, Constanta became the largest harbor at the Black Sea and the fourth largest commercial harbor in Europe. In the Old Town you will visit: The Museum of History & Archeology, The Roman Edifice with mosaic (the largest mosaic from the Roman Empire), the statue representing Publius Ovidius Naso, The Muslim Mosque built by the first king of Romania, Carol Ist as an homage to the local Muslim community (going up in the Minaret Tower you can have a splendid panoramic view of the whole city of Constanta), The Orthodox Cathedral dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul (monument of Byzantine architectural style), The Aquarium Constanta, the first public aquarium in Romania, and the Genoese lighthouse first built in the 13th century, and rebuilt in the present shape in 1858-1860.
