Mangalia

Black Sea Northern Dobrogea

Mangalia, known as "Callatis" by ancient Greeks, is a little town that less about the beach and more about its minor but worthwhile archaeological sites (and health centres for elderly European tour groups if that's your thing). Mangalia is Romania’s second-most important harbour, though mainly for military purposes and ship repairing.

The attractions here will only take a few hours to tour and are hence a nice break from the beach when you scorch your forehead one too many times.

Agonizing over travel insurance? Maybe I can help...
