Sfantu Gheorghe... a magical place, where the Danube meets the Black Sea, an unconventional, picturesque place out of time... with many flowers, sun, sand, vividly painted houses burst by the wind, with hand-made wooden decorations and reed roofs. The beach, situated at a 15 to 20 minutes walking distance on roads covered with fine sand, is wild, full of shells and teasels and seems infinite (30 km).
You can enter the Delta's heart through narrow channels with yellow and white water lilies, to fish or to watch the uncountable rare species of birds. You can watch the nesting of water birds, the apparition of chicks on the canals, the colonies of noisy pelicans, black coots running on the water, graceful swans or frowning cormorants. From October until December, when nature wears the colors of autumn, some of the birds leave to the Nile Delta, but others fine feathered friends arrive, from the extreme north. You can see them early in the morning, flying like ghosts through the thick fog that covers the Delta where the river meets the sea.
