Constanta & Mamaia - the Romanian seaside flavours ⚓️🌊

Laura Dehelean
The main destinations when visiting the Romanian seaside. 🌅 Below are all the best places: tourist attractions, dining/drinking spots and shops within and around the city. Home of the famous NEVERSEA music festival that takes place every year (at the beggining of July), Constanta comes alive during the summer season. ⛱️ ☀️ It is a cultural conjunction of multiple ethnic traditions: Romanian, Greek, Turkish, Tatar, Aromanian. This stands out especially in the region’s cuisine, therefore you may find various dishes around here to delight your taste buds, no matter the preferences (don’t miss out on the seafood and fish-based menus available at many local venues called “cherhanale” 🐟).

Faleza Cazino Constanta
@lauradehel
Have a walk around the promenade, take pictures and enjoy the view over the Casino - the most famous objective of the city, currently undergoing some major renovation works. Just across from this symbol of the city, one shall find the Aquarium and not very far the Sculpture Museum Ion Jalea.

Coffee, Breakfast/Brunch, Pastries/Sweets ☕️🍳🧁

The Coffee Shop constanta
@lauradehel
Probably the best coffee in town. Upon ordering your coffee, you get to choose from different types (different origins), add syrups and have it onsite (small but cozy place) or to go. You can even take home some supplies ;)

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Laura Dehelean
Hi! 🤗 I’m Laura - born and grown nearby the Romanian coasts of the Black Sea, in Constanta (a city with great history which I invite you all to visit and enjoy). This city and its surroundings, with beautiful, wide beaches have always drawn lots of tourists, thus… I have been working in the hospitality industry for quite a while now. Of course, I enjoy more being a tourist myself 😁(or perhaps…should I say “a traveler”?). In the past few years I have travelled across Europe (and most of its capitals and big cities) and found out many special places which I longed to share with others (it would have been a pity not being able to do so nowadays). So, thanks to Thatch I can provide some lists to help me and my friends out along our journeys - and, hopefully, other Thatchers as well. P.S.1 I am always open to suggestions or feedback on how to improve the info that I’m sharing. P.S.2 I am passionate about my shopping, therefore all my guides shall always include shopping venues that mainly sell authentic brands - bespoke souvenirs are what we want to take home with us, right? P.S.3 My guides shall always include many venues/places because I like options. Personally, I wouldn’t cross half a city just to get to a specific restaurant…after a long day, in particular, I would rather find a good spot close to the hotel that I’m staying at (or somewhere in that area). Moreover, different trips in the same city could target a totally different area and wouldn’t it be nice to explore its best by knowing all the variety of services/products available around?
