Romania - Constanta

One of my favorite cities in all Romania.

Located on the coast of Dobrogea along the beautiful Black Sea and possessing a laid back Mediterraneann atmosphere; Constanta is a city rich in 19th century art-nouveau architecture, boasts a Greek heritage from the 7th Century BC in the old port of Tomis, is the resting place of the great Augustinian era poet Ovid, and sits adjacent the modern hedonistic golden sands of Mamaia. Constanta has a little bit of everything, including splendid Orthodox cathedrals and in this case, Turkish style Sunni mosques. That I long ago met my wife and was married here many years later only adds to its luster.
