Relaxing day trip to Constanta (still allow 2 hours drive there and 2 hours back). Perfect for those who have never seen the Black Sea. We also enjoyed being able to climb the old minaret in the old town to have a nice view of the place. Thanks to Florin, our guide, for his explanations and his careful driving. Very good tour!
