Aug 31, 2025 - Touring Constanta, Romania

In the morning, Viking took us via bus to visit Constanta.  It was about 2 and half an hours drive to the lively city on the Black Sea Coast in south-eastern Romania.  After we got there, the guide took us to walk around this largest Black Sea port.  We walked by Ovid Square, the Roman Edifice, St. Peter & Paul Orthodox Cathedral, Constanta Archaeology Park, Constanta Casino, and strolled along the Promenade to enjoy the breeze from the Black Sea.

Finally, the guild gave us about half an hour to walk to Aloha Beach and we got the chance of stepping into Black Sea for the first time.

Later, Viking took us to a wine tasting place at Murfatlar Winery.  They showed us the winery and also provided a wine tasting lunch.  We also got a chance to check on their grape fields.

With the long drive, we got back to Bucharest pretty late and Viking provided a buffer dinner for us.
