Tour description: Founded more than 2,500 years ago, the former Greek colonies on the Romanian Black Sea shore have all the attributes to satisfy the archaeological interest and fascination of visitors. This tour is all about a passion for archaeology: from the marble statues of ancient Tomis to the extensive ruins of Histria, from the remains of the largest Roman mosaics in Romania to the well-organized museum in Histria, this tour is especially designed for keen history lovers.
Our tour starts with the former Greek colony of Tomis, present day city of Constanta, where we explore one of the best archaeological museums in south-eastern Europe and the remains of the Roman mosaics and discover what brought the famous poet Ovid on the shores of the Black Sea. We continue by exploring the present-day city of Constanta and then we relax by the beach in Romania's most famous beach resort. We finish the day with a drive through the countryside outside the city of Constanta towards the abandoned former ancient colony known as Romania's Pompeii, the 7th century B.C. Greek citadel of Histria.
