“Constanta is a charming seaside town that oozes old world charm. It was a treat to be able to visit the Black Sea, despite waters being too chilly in Oct for a dip!

Shame the casino on the waterfront was still undergoing…”

2.Constanta and Mamaia Day Trip from Bucharest

“Fair amount of driving for fairly short visits to Constanta followed by Mamaia Beach. The Contanta walking tour was generally good. The only downside was that we didn't cover both the Archaeology Museum and Folk Museum as indicated in the description (I chose the Archaeology museum). We did end up spending more time at the beach than expected - I would have rather had some of that time at the Folk museum.”
