Romania Top Things To Do
• Enjoy watersports or relax at a resort on the white sandy beaches of the family-friendly Black Sea Coast. The main hotspots are Constanta, Costinesti, Eforie Nord, Eforie Sud, Jupiter, Mamaia, Mangalia, Navodari, Neptun, Olimp, Saturn, Techirghiol, Venus and Aurora (website: www.infolitoral.ro).
• Rejuvenate at the curative thermal springs, salt waters and mud of Lake Techirghiol; ease aches and pains in Romanian Riviera spas such as Mangalia, Eforie and Neptun; or relax in western Romania's well-equipped spa towns, like Baile Felix or Baile Herculane (website: www.spas.ro).
• Hike or horse ride in the Carpathian Mountains, a densely forested mountainous area. In winter, resorts such as Poiana Brasov and Predeal offer some of the best skiing in Eastern Europe or go bob-sleighing at Semenic and Sinaia.
• Chill out at spectacular mountain lakes found in the Fagaras and Retezat ranges, or explore some of over 10,000 caves in the country, many in the Apuseni, Bihor and Mehedinti regions.
• Cruise along the Danube Delta, to see over 300 species of birds and foxes, otters, wildcats and boars in a vast expanse of watery wilderness. This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and biosphere reservation (website: www.romaniatourism.com/delta.html).
• Check out the wines, wooden churches and traditional practices in villages such as Budesti, Sirbi and Calinesti nestled in the picturesque rural idyll of Maramures (website: http://mmtourism.free.fr).
• Purchase regional crafts: woodcarving, pottery and ceramics, wooden architecture and glass paintings can be found throughout the country.
