Tour description and details:
Day 1: Bucharest - Danube Delta
In the morning depart from Bucharest towards the Danube Delta. Enjoy the beautiful sunset by the Danube. The great Danube River flows 1,788 miles from its springs in Germany’s Black Forest to the Black Sea. Just before reaching the sea it forms the second largest and best preserved of Europe`s deltas: 2,200 square miles of rivers, canals, marshes, tree-fringed lakes and reed islands. The Danube Delta is a wildlife enthusiast’s (especially a bird watcher’s) paradise. Without doubt, the impressive range of habitats and species which occupy a relatively small area makes the Danube Delta a vital center for biodiversity in Europe, and a natural genetic bank with great value for the global natural heritage.
After arrival, you will embark on a journey by boat along one of Danube’s canals. Some 300 species of birds make Danube’s Delta their home, including cormorants, white tailed eagles and glossy ibises. The bird watching season lasts from early spring to late summer. Birds are not the only inhabitants of the Delta. There is also a rich community of fish and animals, from wildcats, foxes and wolves, to even an occasional boar or deer. Altogether, 3,450 animal species can be seen here, as well as 1,700 plant species. For the dinner you have the opportunity to taste the local fish dishes. Overnight in the Danube Delta at a 3 star hotel.
Day 2: Constanta ( Romania ) and Balcik ( Bulgaria )
After breakfast we travel towards Constanta – the largest port on the Black Sea. Short panoramic tour, including the casino and a visit to the Navy Museum and the Great Mosque. In the afternoon we cross the border to Bulgaria and we continue our tour heading towards Balchik. The greatest landmark here is The Palace – former summer residence of the Romanian Queen Maria Alexandrina Victoria De Edinburgh (1875 – 1938). The residence was constructed in 1924. The palace complex consists of a number of residential villas, a smoking hall, a wine cellar, a monastery, a holy spring, a chapel and many other buildings, as well as most notably a park that is today a state-run botanical garden. In the evening, return in Bucharest.
