This offer is for those who wish to spend a dream vacation in the middle of the wilderness, but enjoying 3* service.

The Danube Delta- a wild, yet exotic land of water, that will make you discover many amazing things. A trip to the Delta will remain as an unforgettable memory, from every point of view.

As we already know, the Danube springs in Germany, from the Schwartzwald Mountains. From its 2860 km length, it travels the last 1075 km through Romania. After it covers eight countries, the Danube ends its journey with a Delta, one of the most complex in the world.

A natural paradise lays where the Danube flows into the Black Sea, where the river ends its long journey.

The Danube Delta is the largest reservation of damp land in Europe, with a wild area scattered on the water. The Danube Delta is an exotic land with over 1500 species of plants (from oak tree forests to reed and water lilies) and a fauna of over 300 species (from pelicans to vultures). Since the year 1990, UNESCO has included the Danube Delta in the reservations of the biosphere. There are eighteen protected reservations spread all over the Danube Delta.

Its origin dates back in the Glacial Age when the northern part of the Plateau of Dobrudja had slowly, slowly sank. The Danube Delta was formed in a gulf, in the Black Sea and it has evolved in several stages, from a gulf to a liman, and later, the Delta was formed. For centuries in a row, the Delta’s surface increased, thanks to the bank brought by the river, thus forming a network of lakes, channels, islands covered with reed, pastures, tropical forests and sand dunes, that now cover a surface of almost 5640 square km. Each year, over 40 square km are added through alluvia.

The starting point for an adventure in the Delta is Tulcea, a city as old as Rome or other Roman cities. It is located near the place where the Danube separates in its three main branches, therefore where the Delta begins. From Tulcea, cruises are organized, during which the turists can admire, from the comfortable decks of the ships, the flora, fauna and the Delta’s villages.

Tulcea is 71 km from Sulina, a settlement just as old, located at the other end of Sulina’s branch. About 15000 people live in the Danube Delta, in 28 villages and just one town- Sulina, that has the lowest cosmopolitanism index in Romania.

The villages in the Delta are located mostly along the Danube’s branches and they occupy a small surface of the land.

From a few thousands of years, a small community of people lives in the Danube Delta, in harmony with the amazing ecosystem. They make a living fishing, gathering the reed and raising animals.

The villages, where the only ways of access are the branches they cross, appear to be untouched by the passage of time. They can be reached by crossing narrow channels, passing by floating reed islets and exotic forests, through places where pelicans gather to catch fish. If you stop by a village on the river’s bank you will find fishermen outside, cooking their own version of the Russian sour-soup (made of fish, of course).

Those who have more refined tastes can try the Danube herring, sturgeon croquette or fried sturgeon, which can be accompanied by the delicious local wine Aligote, Muscat or Merlot, in restaurants in Tulcea or Sulina.
