Holiday in Beaches of Black Sea

Mamaia is the biggest resort on the Romanian Black Sea shore. It is situated immediately north-east of Constanta, Romania. Mamaia has almost no full time residents, being populated mostly during the summer. Mamaia is 8 km (5 miles) in length and only 300 m (300 yards) in width, being a strip of land between the Black Sea and Lake Siutghiol.

Through major developments throughout the past couple of years, Mamaia has transformed itself into one of the great summer destinations of Europe. New five-star hotels and restaurants offer the best in lodging and cuisine. Mamaia is also the only resort in Europe to have the pure white sand only found in tropical places such as Hawaii.

The beach season is at its best between mid-May and late September, when average daytime temperatures are 25 to 30 degrees Celsius (78 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit). The water is warm until late autumn. Hotels range from mid-end (2 and 3 stars) to exclusive 4 and 5 stars hotels and private clubs.

Vama Veche is a commune in Romania on the Black Sea coast, near the border with Bulgaria, at 28.3 E longitude, 43.5 N latitude.The name literally means "Old customs point", named so after the Cadrilater was included in Romania in 1913. In 1940, however, that region was ceded to Bulgaria, and the village was once again near the border. Even in Communist Romania, Vama Veche had a reputation as a non-mainstream tourist destination, which has only grown since the Romanian Revolution of 1989. During the communist era, concern for border patrol sight lines spared Vama Veche the development that occurred in other Romanian Black Sea resorts.

It became a hangout for intellectuals; for reasons that are not exactly clear, the generally repressive regime of Nicolae Ceauoescu chose to tolerate this countercultural oasis, as long as people had their identity papers with them. Accommodations consisted of tents or rooms rented from peasants or fishermen. While camping is theoretically not permitted, to this day, many visitors or semi-permanent residents still stay in tents on the beach.

Famous for its nude beach, since the late 1990s Vama Veche has experienced development and gentrification, which has led to a "Save Vama Veche" campaign that is lobbying for the area's environmental conservation and a halt to development and mass tourism. A major part of the Save Vama Veche campaign is the 2003 founding of the Stufstock music festival, which was initiated by the satirical weekly Academia Catavencu and other organizations. The August 2003 festival drew a crowd of about 10,000.

The 2005 Stufstock drew a record 40,000-large crowd, formed by rockers, bohemians, punkers and goths. Many argue that it has become too popular. In 2004, allegedly as a result of the campaign, legislation was enacted limiting construction of new housing and roads or paving of existing roads. As of 2006, this seems to be being enforced, with no visible new permanent structures being built within the last year.

Mangalia is a city and a port on the Romanian coast of the Black Sea in the south-east of Constan?a County.The Scythian tomb discovered in 1959 where archaeologists unearthed fragments of a papyrus in Greek, the first document of this kind in Romania; the incineration tombs (the necropolis of the Callatis citadel, dating back to the 4th-2nd centuries BC); the ruins of the Callatis citadel (6th century BC); the Turkish Mangalia Mosque (16th century); the Archaeology Museum which shelters a rich collection of amphorae and sculptures from the Hellenistic epoch, fragments of stone sarcophagi etc. A special place called Killer is found near a meteorological checkpoint. This is a place popular among more bohemian couples, a romantic and spectacular place in winter and summer.

The Moon rises with a red colour from the Black Sea at nights in the summer, and in winter at Killer the biggest waves can be found. Actually this is the reason why this place is called Killer: the giant waves that sweep the whole seawall during the winter. Source: Wikipedia
