Mila 23
English engineers measured the course of the Danube in miles, starting with mile 0 in Sulina on the Black Sea coast.  Hence, 23 miles inland, you will find Mila 23, a quaiet traditional fishing village. Located on a bend of the Sulina arm known as the ‘Old Danube’ (Dunarea Veche), Mila 23 is one of the main settlements of the Lipoveni, descendants of Russian refugees who fled from religious persecution in the early 18th century and who make their living from fishing, livestock breeding and reed harvesting in this vast area. As this is a good starting point for trips to the nearby waterways, many villagers rent cheap rooms to visitors.
