Mangalia
Located at the southern tip of the Constanța County coastline, Mangalia is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Romania, built atop the ancient Greek colony of Callatis. Blending wide sandy beaches, natural spa springs, and the modern Mangalia Tourist Port, the city is a wonderful destination for seaside walks, Black Sea boat rides, day trips, and family outings to nearby theme parks like Jurasica Adventure Park and Paradis Land in Neptun.

Here, visitors can stroll along the pier out to the iconic lighthouse, admire moored yachts, or hop on a Water Taxi or sunset cruise along the Black Sea coast. History lovers can step back in time at the Callatis Archaeology Museum—home to the oldest ancient papyrus discovered in Romania—explore Greek-Roman ruins, and visit the 16th-century Esmahan Sultan Mosque, the oldest Muslim place of worship in the country, set within a peaceful garden.
For families with children and adventure seekers, Mangalia sits right next to the popular southern resorts of Saturn, Venus, Cap Aurora, Jupiter, and Neptun-Olimp. Just a short drive north in the Comorova forest of Neptun, guests can explore Jurasica Adventure Park, an interactive outdoor park featuring life-sized animatronic dinosaurs, or tackle the zip lines and tree-climbing trails at Paradis Land Neptun.
In addition to local highlights and the famous Mangalia Stud Farm, the city serves as a major departure point for organized day trips to the Danube Delta, historic Dobrogea fortresses, and nearby Bulgaria (Balchik, Cape Kaliakra).
