WELCOME TO ROMANIA

 


Romania lies in the Southeastern Europe. Its name means the land of the Romans, because it was part of the Roman Empire during ancient times. Its capital is Bucharest.
Romania is almost evenly divided among hills, mountains and plains. From the Carpathians to the Black Sea and the wild Danube Delta, the picturesque relief, the diversity of vegetation and fauna attract tourists all through the year.
The Romanian Folk Art and the hospitality of the peasant houses which offer accomodation are unforgettable.
For those taking an interest in history, the Samizegetusa sanctuary speaks about the local Geto- Dacian population, the vestiges from Histria speak about the Greek occcupation 2,500 years ago, and the ruins of the Bridge built between 103-105 by Emperor Trajan at Turnu-Severin, across the Danube, speak about the genius of Roman builders. The Romanian Middle Ages are illustrated by the fortified cities( Sighisoara-the town where Dracula was born) ) and the Northeastern chain of monasteries which combine Byzantine and Central-European elements.
Alpine climbers and spelaeologists ( there are 11,000 caves in Romania ), passionate hunters and fishermen, lovers of nautical or winter sports, all can see their dream come true on Romanian land. Among the 140 thermal spas, Baile Herculane and Geoagiu date from the times of Roman Dacia.
Unique in Romania and in Europe is the" Merry Cemetery" in Sapanta in Maramures region, where the Romanian specific sense of humour is illustrated by the multicoloured crosses with humourous epitaphs which speak about the habits or faults of the deceased.


Tourists are offered opportunities of recreation, rest, fitness, discos, concerts, folk festivals, medieval art festival( Sighisoara) and last but not the least the Romanian "cuisine", the fine wines and the well-known "tuica/palinka" which makes the Russians hide their vodka.
Don't forget to take souvenirs when you plan to leave Romania: open-air exhibitions offer a large display of handicraft: pottery, wooden or leather objects, beads bracelets or eggs, woollen rugs and masks, traditional musical instruments, blouses and folk costumes with floral motifs, embroidered scarves, wooden or glass icons,etc, everything for yourselves and mostly for your friends who will surely be attracted by the Romanian values and come to see for themselves.

Just search the Internet for reservations.
