The Black Sea, which has been called for centuries Pontus Euxinus Sea – Hospitable Sea, is still welcoming visitors on the Romanian seaside with warm climate and clean beaches. Romania’s Black Sea resorts have been on knowledgeable European travel agents’ programs for quite a few years now. The sands are golden; the sports facilities are numerous; there are traditional villages, vineyards and ancient monuments to see on a day away from the beach. The beach season is at its best between mid-May and late September, when average daytime temperatures are 25 to 30 degrees Celsius (78 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit).
The gateway to all the resorts is the city of Constanta, the main Romanian port. Founded by the Greeks, under the name of Tomis, in the 6th century BC, Constanta is accessible by car (3.5hrs drive from Bucharest), plane, train (express trains to and from Bucharest or other cities), and ferry.
From North to South, from the Chilia branch of the Danube to the border with Bulgaria, these are the Romanian resorts on the Black Sea coast: Navodari, Mamaia, Constanta, Eforie Nord, Eforie Sud, Techirghiol, Costinesti, Olimp, Neptun, Jupiter, Aurora, Venus, Saturn, Mangalia, 2 Mai and Vama Veche. All of these resorts are accessible either by train, taxi, maxi-taxi ( a kind of mini-bus) or car.
