Romania\u2019s coast has been featured as a summer holiday destination in the major British daily newspaper The Telegraph thanks to its \u201cbeautiful beaches” and cheap food, beer, and accommodation.<\/p>\n
The article<\/a> follows the journey of the author, travel writer Heidi Fuller-Love, to Romania in early June.<\/p>\n \u201cRomania has 152 miles of coastline \u2013 and I\u2019d been reliably informed that most of it is swathed in sand as fine as any that you\u2019ll find in the Caribbean,\u201d she starts off.<\/p>\n The trip begins in the Black Sea city of Constanta. First discouraged by the drab scenery, the author then found \u201ctall trees topped with stork\u2019s nests\u201d and impressive one-story houses.<\/p>\n \u201cPerhaps my decision to try a beach holiday in a country best known for Dracula and Dacia wasn\u2019t totally misguided,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n The journey then continues by riverboat to the Green Village Resort in Sf\u00e2ntu Gheorghe, a coastal town in the heart of the Danube Delta. The town can only be reached by water or by hiking 65 miles of swamps.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019d expected mozzies, cement-hard mattresses, and Brutalist furnishings, but beds were plump, and the wooden floors and ceilings reminded me of an alpine chalet. Best of all was the large swimming pool and panoramic views over a lily pad-studded distributary of the Danube. As for the price? EUR 100 (GBP 84) a night, including breakfast and lunch,\u201d the article notes.<\/p>\n The holiday was made complete with a beautiful sandy beach, cheap snacks, and \u201cice-cold bottles of Ursus beer.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Boat trips, visits to G\u00e2rla Turceasc\u0103\u2019s old fishery and Letea Forest, ornate tombs of pirates and princes in the graveyard of Sulina, and local eateries are also mentioned as part of the \u201cmagical place\u201d at Romania\u2019s seaside.\u00a0<\/p>\n radu@romania-insider.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n (Photo source:\u00a0<\/em>Nikita Burdenkov<\/a>\/Dreamstime.com<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Romania\u2019s coast has been featured as a summer holiday destination in the major British daily newspaper The Telegraph thanks to its \u201cbeautiful beaches” and cheap food, beer, and accommodation.
