Cruising Bulgaria and Romania
Description
"Cruising Bulgaria and Romania" should encourage many more sailors to sail the lower Danube and the western Black Sea, to visit the harbours (both ancient and modern) and the miles of unspoilt beaches in these fascinating areas.
...to visit the harbours (both ancient and modern) and the kilometres of unspoilt beaches in these fascinating areas.
The areas in Bulgaria and Romania, the Danube, parts of the Black Sea coast and (in Romania) the Danube Delta (a very special area), offer the sailor an interesting variety.
Although Bulgaria and Romania are geographically close to each other, they are culturally very different. Bulgaria shares the Orthodox religion and Slavic cultural roots of Russia and Serbia, while Romania is a country with Latin cultural traditions similar to those of other western Mediterranean countries. Lake Srebarna, the northern Romanian Black Sea coast, Kamchia and Strandja, as well as the Danube Delta, are nature reserves of international importance and are home to several rare and endangered species.
The Danube is one of Europe's oldest transport arteries, but between Vienna and Bratislava the number of ships on the river decreases drastically and the area is still relatively unknown to foreign ships.
Nicky Allardice has lived and worked in both countries and his cruising guide is based on extensive first-hand experience.
