Delta Rustic

We stayed in a rustic-style place with a large yard, plenty of room for barbecuing, and a covered area for meals. The accommodation was much better than the presentation suggested. The pool is open-air and can be used by the children in the community. There are lovely views of the Danube River, with the wilderness of the Danube Delta across from it. Local guides can arrange boat trips of 3-4 hours into the nearby Danube Delta. Wildlife photography is included during the trip, and in spring and midsummer the Delta is full of birds and local fauna, so there's plenty to photograph. The homemade local fish food was very good. It's an easy drive from Tulcea on 35 km of paved road, and parking is included with the accommodation. Nearby places to visit include the old Greek fortress ruins at Halmyris, 20 km away near Murighiol fisherman village, and the modern Christian Orthodox monastery in the same area. In Tulcea, there's the Danube Delta wildlife museum, the only one in Romania, and the Aegysus Greek-Roman fortress ruins nearby. On the way to Constantza, the old castle and Genovese fortress Enisala are no more than 40 km from the accommodation, as are the ruins and museum at Histria, the oldest town on Romanian actual territory.
