Sometime ago a fishermen’s village with a few houses spreading over the right bank and a fishery on the opposite shore, now one of the bigest villages in Danube Delta, it makes an excellent base for exploring the surrounding lakes and canals. Private guestrooms and B&Bs are available. From here, you can rent a boat, or lotca, from the locals, and travel on the Old Danube Canal to Mila 23 or to Caraorman (Black Forest in Turkish) village and Caraorman Forest, a strictly protected reserve with brown oak trees, white and black poplars, white willows and fluffy ash surrounded by sandbanks. Owls, white-tailed eagles, falcons, wildcats, boars as well as many rare plants thrive in the area.

Note: Access to Caraorman Forest is permitted only with a guide (warden) on the designated route.
