Tulcea - Tulcea (pronounced Tool’cha) is a historic city in the Dobrogea region of Romania and serves as the administrative center of Tulcea County. With a population of approximately 92,000, it has been a significant harbor since ancient times, marking the end of the Danube River’s journey through Europe as it flows into the Black Sea, forming the renowned Danube Delta. The city has experienced Byzantine (5th - 7th century), Genoese (10th - 13th century), and Ottoman rule before reuniting with Romania in 1878.

Tulcea is most vibrant in August and December, during its regular festivals: the International Folk Festival of the Danubian Countries, held in odd-numbered years, and an annual winter carnival.

The local Lipovani Russian and Turkish minorities contribute to the city’s multicultural atmosphere.

Sulina -

Today, Sulina stands as Romania’s easternmost port. It is easily located on any world map by tracing the Danube’s course to where it meets the sea. At this river’s end, on a narrow strip of land, a community settled and thrived, earning their town a notable reputation.

Letea Forest Boat Tour in the Beauty of Danube Delta

Letea Forest - Featuring wild horses, vines, 700-year-old oak trees, and sand dunes, Letea is the world’s northernmost subtropical forest. Hidden from the usual tourist paths, the forest holds many secrets. To reach it, one must navigate through numerous canals adorned with water lilies. As you approach, you’ll notice the fishermen’s boats and the church tower in the village. The residents of Letea are primarily Russians, while those in the nearby village of CA Rosetti are Romanians, and in Periprava, Lipovans.

Many locals believe the village was built on land that once lay beneath the sea, which rose to the surface long ago. A local legend even tells of a ship found beneath the dunes, with only the mast’s top visible. While the tale is enchanting, the Danube Delta’s formation is somewhat different.

Sulina Beach - Sulina is a town and free port in Tulcea County, Dobrogea, at Romania’s eastern edge, where the Danube Delta meets the Black Sea at the Sulina branch. It has a population of 4,601. Sulina is not connected to Romania’s road network and can only be accessed by water via the Danube or Black Sea.

Danube Delta - The Danube River is the most international river globally, crossing or forming borders with several countries: Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, and four capitals: Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest, and Belgrade. Formed over more than 10,000 years, the Danube Delta continues to expand due to the 67 million tons of alluvium deposited annually by the Danube River.
