Itinerary

Day 1

Starting with Prince Mihai Cantacuzino on 17th century, Romanian princes were fascinated by this valley and built here a monastery, a castle and eventually a residence. The pride of the valley is the resort of Sinaia, where future king of Romania, Prince Carol I, enchanted by the beauty of the surroundings, decided to build his summer residence, the Peles Castle. The castle is one of the nicest in Europe. In the neighbourhood we shall also visit the Castle of Pelisor, settled at the request of Queen Maria of Romania, and decorated partly by her. In the afternoon we shall return to Bucharest, but not before visiting Sinaia Monastery around which the whole community developed.

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.
