About the area

What The Danube Delta has to offer

The Danube Delta is a unique ecosystem in Romania and one of the country's most important destinations for nature tourism. Its maze of channels, lakes, sandbanks and reed beds offers countless ways to explore, above all by boat, kayak and other small craft. The area is a favourite with photographers and birdwatchers, home to a wide range of bird and animal species specific to the Delta. Villages such as Mila 23, Crișan, Sfântu Gheorghe and Sulina open the way to different parts of the Delta and let you discover local cooking, traditional fishing and the way of life of the communities along the Danube.
