Sulina, the port town on the Danube and the Black Sea

Sulina was already an important river and sea port during the Byzantine and later Genoese and Turkish periods, but has lost its importance today due to the construction of larger ports (including Galați, Braila, …).

The old lighthouse from 1887, some old villas on the quays and the large cemetery are testimonies of this past. Sulina has a sandy beach many kilometers long on the Black Sea. Colonies of pelicans delight the eye, and nature lovers and fishing enthusiasts will also get their money’s worth here. Away from the “wild world”, Sulina is a quiet, peaceful and wonderful place that invites you to relax, with an unfortunately very high unemployment rate of 40%.

The Sulina embankment, or Danube bank, is about 5 km long and offers a quaint and special landscape. In the evening you can watch the fishermen with their arms full of fresh fish, quietly returning home to their houses.Along the Danube you can take a walk on the embankment and admire the ruins of the town meanwhile. Enjoy local dishes in a relaxed atmosphere on the beautifully landscaped terraces, and be enchanted by the ships passing by.

To help ships navigate at night, the city lights on the right side of the Danube, the steep coast, glow red in the evening. On the opposite side they shine green. This creates a unique sight for you as well.
