Constanţa Travel Guide

Constanta, Romania's largest Black Sea port, famed for ancient Tomis ruins, an Art Deco casino, and resort beaches.

📍 Destination Overview

Constanta, Romania's largest port and fourth-largest city on the Black Sea coast, was founded as Tomis in the 7th century BC, where exiled Roman poet Ovid wrote his Tristia, honoured by a statue in the old town. Greek, Roman, Ottoman and Genoese layers survive amid mosques, the Art Deco casino crowns the waterfront, and Mamaia's beaches lie to the north.
