Traveling to Sfantu Gheorghe
What can I do in Sfantu Gheorghe?
Many things. You can start by sunbathing on the beautiful beach, getting a taste of the local cuisine, discovering the wild life in the Delta or just exploring the surroundings.
You can sunbathe "la varsare", the place where Danube meets the Black Sea. The place is wonderful. You will have the Danube in the left and the Black see in the right. The green Danube meets the dark-blue sea. In the middle a small island made by alluvium and sand. You can walk right up to it, although is about 50m away from the shore. The water barely reaches 0.5 meters for more than 3-40 m. Be careful though: the currents are dangerous even for experienced swimmers.
You can view the Danube Wildlife by renting a boat and some guide to help you reach the "Melea" (local wildlife resort) or view the beautiful channels around. It will cost you 5-20 Euro depending on the time spent, number of passengers and the boat you will travel in.
You can view 327 species of birds, representing 81% of the Romanian species. If you are lucky you can even spot some of the mammals – the otter, the European mink, the muskrat, the Nyctereutes prociynoides, deers, wild horses or wild cats.
What can I eat and where?
There is nothing like some good local cuisine to go with the perfect landscape. Although you will find local restaurants (basic ones) I recommend you trying at least once eating something cooked by villagers. It's tasty, fish based and you will love the feeling.
It will cost you between 5 and 10 Euro to eat at a villager and take my word for it – it's going to be more than enough. By the way – the best way of finding someone to cook for you is simply asking. You may have some problems talking to the people but Romanian younger tourists will be more than happy helping you, as most of them are pretty good English speakers.
