Greetings from the Black Sea
Constanta is a old town and a big harbour, the biggest in Romania, but unfortunately it has been neglected from the touristic point of view, unlike the neighbouring resort, Mamaia, which is the most expensive sea resort we have. I haven't seen much done in Constanta (except that it has many good museums), but in Mamaia there are a lot of attractions, such as a Waterpark, or a cable car crossing the resort over the hotels.
Here are some views from Constanta, hoping that it will have a better fate in the future years.
The Turkish population is still present in Dobrogea and one traditional thing you must taste is Turkish coffee boiled in hot sand. It's boiled in small copper kettles, served very hot in very small cups, and it's savory and strong.
As much as I could see of the tower of the big mosque.
Th list of the antique Roman and Greek settlements in Dobrogea and a piece of the city wall. There are a few Roman vestiges and a big archaeological museum which also has a park.
A windmill coming from the Danube Delta.
Nobody to rescue right now. Let's rest!

Perhaps destiny has been good for Constanta. sometimes holidays resorts change beautiful landscapes into something ugly.
I know what you mean, but it has a historical center that deserved better care.
I agree, many times money prevail and we see souvenir stalls and kitschy "ghost houses" in a historical place like Bran. A pity.
