In the summertime, the Romanian coast offers fantastic bathing possibilities.
The sun rises in the morning from the sea and the beach disappears very slowly under the water, so that one could walk through the sea quite a distance or swim at low depth. Moreover, there are no dangerous fish. In addition, the Black Sea does not have any high tide, as it is nearly an inland sea. Vacations at the seaside include Constanţa as well, the biggest port in the region. The Greeks in Millets have erected several colonies at the Black Sea, of which Histria is the best conserved. Ovidius was himself banished to Tomis, today's Constanţa. Greek and Romans, Byzance and the Turkish Empire, all have left traces behind. Dionysos is incidentally from this region; to celebrate him, nice wine evenings are organized on the coast.
