SHORE EXCURSION IN COSTANTA
From the port by bus we will reach in about 20 minutes the city of Constanta, the largest port city in the Black Sea. Here we will leave our bus and we'll begin a walking tour through the historic center, starting from Piata Ovidiu, Ovid's Square, the heart of the city, where there are wonderful buildings with Roman mosaic, the Museum of Natural History and the Museum of Archaeology (external visits) and the statue of the Roman poet Ovid. Then we will admire the Orthodox Cathedral of Constance (external visit), symbol of the coexistence of various religions and ethnicities in this Romanian city. It was dedicated to the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul and it was built between the late 800 and early 900 on the ruins of the ancient city "Tomis".
We will continue our shore excursion visiting the Museum of the Romanian Navy, the Dolphinarium and the Casino, one of the symbols of the city (external visits). After the tour, we will return by bus to the port for boarding.
