Constanta Traditions & Wine

Constanta Traditions & Wine

Depart the harbor for a quick coach transfer to the old city of Constanta, at the Ovid Square, named after the famous Roman poet, Ovid, exiled here by the Roman Emperor in 8 A.D. His statue built 1888 by the famous sculptor, Ettore Ferrari, faces the Sea. Right behind the statue, lies the Archaeological Museum, one of the richest museums in the country, with collections of prehistorical, Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Medieval archaeology where you have an inside visit. Among the statues exhibited here, the most famous are of the Fortuna Goddess and Pontos God (protectors of the town) and of the Glycon snake, the protector of the house and family.

Then stroll further through the old centre, passing by the Turkish Mosque, which, with its 155 feet high minaret is the most important mosque in Constanta. Although orthodox, Romania has many other religious minorities; thus you can also see a catholic church. After a few minutes’ walk, arrive at the orthodox Cathedral, St. Peter and Paul, where you will be briefed on the world of the Orthodoxism.

The walking tour ends at the Casino, a beautiful building on a cliff directly at the Sea, with a beautiful view over the harbor of Constanta. The Port of Constanta is the main Romanian port and the largest port in the Black Sea. It has a geostrategical position being located on the route of two Pan-European Transport Corridors: river Corridor VII (Danube) and rail-road Corridor IV.

From here, board buses that will take you further on a sightseeing tour of Constanta. Romania's second largest city, Constanta is attractive due to the harmony between a lively business world and intense cultural life. Next depart Constanta heading towards Cernavoda and the Rasova winery. Blessed with one of the most suitable natural settings, Rasova winery is situated in the south-eastern part of Romania, on the Danube plateau. The main wines produced here are Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Cabernet, Syrah and Pinot Noir. Upon arrival at the winery, you will enjoy an informative tour of the winery, following the same steps that the grapes are following during the production process. After the visit of the production area, you will enjoy a tasting of 6 of their best wines before returning to the yacht in Constanta.
