At the end of the 2860 km road, beginning with Black Forest Mountains in Germany and ending with the Romanian Black Sea shore, Danube Delta is a true natural heaven. In time, Danube Delta was transformed into a network of lakes and channels, woods, sand dunes which covers 5460 square km. This amazing wet region hosts over 300 species of birds, and the 1150 species of plants cover a big variety, beginning with the lianas from oak forests and ending with water lilies.

For over 5000 years, small human communities lived in harmony in nature, while fishing, raising cows and exploiting rattan. The villages crossed by watery roads stay still expecting the tourists. The visitor can explore this universe of the silence in boats.

In August 1990, the Danube Delta was declared by UNESCO reservation of the biosphere. It is made up of the delta and the complex of lagoons Razim-Sinoe.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud

It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:

  • It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
  • If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
  • Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
