What the British think of the Romanian coast and the Danube Delta. Impressive chapter: “It’s like being in the Caribbean”

British publications The Telegraph Did a report about Romania’s summer tourist attractions.

“Romania has over 244 km of coastline, and I’m sure most of it is covered with the finest sand in the Caribbean””, writes travel journalist Heidi Fuller-Love.

She came to our country in early June, taking a direct flight to Constanta. Britannia was attracted not only by the beautiful beaches, but also by the low prices of food, beer and accommodation.

Heidi Fuller-Love rented a car from Constanta to Tulcea.

“At first, the scenery is uninspiring: seemingly endless wheat fields dotted with drab Soviet-era villages”she pointed out.

At some point, near Sarichioi, the scenery suddenly changed. “Tall trees covered with stork nests no longer guard the roads; ugly apartment blocks are replaced by thatched-roof bungalows painted in pastel pink, pistachio green and poppy red, with cottage-like gardens growing onions, melons, tomatoes and roses.”” said the reporter from the UK.

“Maybe my decision to go on a beach vacation to a country famous for Dracula and Dacia wasn’t totally wrong”She said she then took a boat to Sveti Georgie and stayed there.

Heidi Fuller-Love was the only foreign passenger on the boat, which can accommodate about 10 people plus luggage.

“Wet from the spray, we disembarked at a narrow iron pier, surrounded by the black hulls of traditional canoe-style fishing boats, many of which have been abandoned since the resort became part of the Danube Biosphere Reserve”the Brit wrote.

She lives in an apartment “With thatched roofs and stork nests” She said she was pleased with the comfortable bed and the wooden floor and ceiling.

Her stay cost 100 euros per night, including breakfast and lunch. Heidi Fuller-Love was impressed by the large swimming pool, which offers a panoramic view of the Danube tributary covered with water lilies.

Later, the reporter discovered the beach in the area, and two canteens behind it, where she could drink cold beer and eat grilled carp for 45 lei (about £7.50) each, and her favorite dish – pond chicken (no – crispy frog legs in garlic sauce) for even cheaper 35 lei, or £6.

At another restaurant in Sveti Georgi, Brits spotted a platter of fresh mussels cooked in white wine for £8.

After a week in the Danube Delta, Heidi Fuller-Loff returned to Constanta, where she stopped to serve lunch.

“On TV, they were discussing the possibility of Romania adopting the euro once it eventually becomes a Schengen member. I asked the waiter if he was happy with that prospect.

He looked at me helplessly and handed me a plate with a 5-pound pork tenderloin and a 2-pound beer. He joked, “Enjoy our cheap country while you still can.””, concludes Heidi Fuller-Love.
