modern city life. The avid tourist can indulge in a multitude of activities in this area: hiking, biking, horseback riding, and rock-climbing. And what could be more excited than start the day at a bear sanctuary?

The Danube Delta is not only the second largest delta on the planet, but also the most preserved one on the European continent and it could definitely be an adventure for kids. Situated in Sfantu Gheorghe (the place where the Danube meets the Black Sea), the 4 Stars Green Village represents at the same time a 4 stars holiday at the seaside and an escapade in the heart of the Delta. Sfantu Gheorghe is an unconventional magical place, with flowers, sun, sand, vividly painted houses burst by the wind with hand-made wooden decorations and reed roofs.
