In Romania there are some other health and spa resorts situated on the long sandy beaches of the Black Sea such as Eforie Nord, Eforie Sud, Neptun or Mangalia which utilize the fine, smooth, sapropelic mud from Lake Techirghiol to tackle skin problems and rheumatic, post-traumatic and gynecological problems. Thalassotherapy is also available. Thanks to heated treatment centres, these spas stay open all year round. The Romanian coast of the Black Sea offers the opportunity of spending holidays, combined with balneary and geriatric cure and therapy. The climate is temperate with up to 12 hours sunshine per day in the summer. The air is well ionized, rich in marine aerosols, thanks to the waves and breeze.
Eforie Nord is a Permanent spa (14 km from Constanta, 6-20 m altitude) on a stripe of land between Lake Thechirghiol and the Black Sea. The spa began its activity in 1894, when the Bucharest Eforia of Civil Hospitals builds a sanatorium here.
