Tulcea - Tulcea (pronounced Tool’cha) is an old city in the historical region of Dobrogea, Romania and is the administrative center of Tulcea county. It has a population of about 92,000 and has been an important harbor since ancient times since it is where the famous Danube river finally ends its journey through Europe as it empties into the Black sea creating the famous Danube Delta.
The town has successively been under Byzantine (5th - 7th century), Genoese (10th - 13th century) and Ottoman rule before finally being reunited with Romania in 1878.

Tulcea is busiest in August and December, when its regular festivals take place: the International Folk Festival of the Danubian Countries, held in odd-numbered years, and an annual winter carnival.

The local Lipovani Russian and Turkish minorities lend the city a multi-ethnic flavora.

Letea Forest Boat Tur in the beauty of Danube Delta

Letea Forest - With wild horses, vines, 700 year old oak trees and sand dunes, Letea is the northern most subtropical forest in the world. Hidden away from the eyes and paths of most tourists, the forest has numerous secrets which it carefully guards.To get here, you have to cross through a myriad of canals, all covered with water lilies. Once you’re getting close, you’ll see the fishermen’s boats and the church tower in the village.
The people who live in Letea are mostly Russians, while those in the neighboring village of CA Rosetti Romanians and in Periprave Lipovans.

Many of them believe that the land on top of which the village was built used to be the bottom of the sea which rose up to the surface a long time ago. A local legend even says that they once found a washed away ship under the dunes, with only the top of the mast sticking out. While the story is beautiful, the genesis of the Danube delta is somewhat different.
