Dobrogea

Dobrogea

Dobrogea province hugs the Black Sea and is home to the Danube Delta wildlife preserve,
the ancient port city of Constanta, and to the seaside resorts along its southern shore.
The Danube river’s delta, where it junctions with the Black Sea, is a watery wilderness of marshes, islands, lakes and woods that is home to more than 300 species of birds. From the port city of Tulcea, day cruises through the delta’s waterways give visitors a view of the abundant wildlife and centuries-old fishing villages.

South of the delta, the historical city of Constanta serves as a major industrial port on the Black Sea. The area was first conquered by Greeks in B.C., later settled by the Romans who named it after their emperor Constantine. The poet Ovid was exiled here until his death. Constanta still has remains of its ancient era, as well as a fine museum, the Mehmed Mosque and its grand Casino. It is also the main connection for reaching the seaside resorts.
