🇷🇴 Constanta, Romania, 4K walking tour 🇷🇴

Constanta lies on the western coast of the Black Sea,
185 miles north of Istanbul and Bosphorus Strait (Turkey) and 100 miles north of port of Varna (Bulgaria).
Romania's oldest continuously inhabited city and the country's largest sea port,
Constanta traces its history some 2,500 years. Originally called Tomis, legend has it that Constanta was visited by Jason and the Argonauts after finding the Golden Fleece.
Founded by Greek colonists from Miletos in the 6th century BC, Tomis was conquered by the Romans in 71 BC and renamed Constantiana by Roman Emperor Constantine the Great, in honor of his sister. Constanta flourished during the 13th century, when Genoese merchants dominated the Black Sea but, the city began to decline two centuries later, when it fell under Turkish rule. During the Ottoman era its name was shortened to Constanta . Fine mansions and hotels were built at the end of the 19th century when King Carol I decided to revive Constanta as a port and seaside resort.
Constanta is today one of Romania's largest cities and an important cultural and economic centre, worth exploring for its archaeological treasures and the Old Town's architecture. Its historical monuments, ancient ruins, grand Casino, museums and shops, and proximity to beach resorts make it the focal point of Black Sea coast tourism. Open-air restaurants, nightclubs and cabarets offer a wide variety of entertainment.

@azizmanas705 Constanta alone has a GDP of 11 bilions euro vs the entire Georgia GDP of 30 😂😂

[@Superator69]

Wait till the summer and check it out. Constanta is like Vegas all summer long parties on the beach 24/7. Nothing like that in Georgia, even in the summer.

[@stefangioada3555]

foarte slab dezvoltat orasu

[@Superator69]

It's a summer tourist city, it comes alive in the summer. The port of Constanta is also the largest port in the Black Sea and one of the most important in all of Europe.
