Hiking in Constanța

On the one hand, there are walks between resorts that can harmoniously complement the vacation. Especially between Mangalia and Olimp, 2 Mai and Vama Veche, or Mamaia and Năvodari.

A kind of "from beach to beach" or from one resort to another, on foot, not by minibus or personal car. Walking directly on the long promenades, stepping a little towards the sea, or entering the resorts, such a walk is best done early in the morning for the aerosols, or as close to sunset as possible, when the air cools down.

Stops at souvenir kiosks along the way or at terraces are even recommended to take advantage of the shade.

Regardless of the season, Constanța generously offers you the chance for a long walk on the promenade and beyond.

Because almost all the attractions of this once-glorious port city, now somewhat neglected, are close to the promenade, you can't avoid the area.

Along the way, you'll find museums, modern terraces, parks, the Genoese Lighthouse, mosques or churches of cultural minorities, and, of course, the poet Ovid, forever thoughtful and sad, perched on his pedestal, as well as the casino, now in better condition than it has been in the last 50 years.

In the northern part of the county, there are some jewels dating back to eras for which many of us cannot even find a temporal reference. Although you can reach all of them either by car or by bike - you park and start walking.

First of all, the Dobrogea Gorges, millions of years old. Still unknown to mass tourism and yet somewhat more frequented today than a few years ago, thanks to online popularization. You don't even realize when you enter the gorges that you have already exited, unless you keep your eyes wide open. However, you can make as many stops as you want to walk along the limestone walls with worn peaks, to look with a child's curiosity through crevices. In some places you can climb above, but do not abuse the relief.
