You will discover the hidden stories behind the facades and monuments, from the statue of Ovid and the former Carol I mosque. During the tour, you will have a special break dedicated to the senses: a tasting of carefully selected local wines, accompanied by savory snacks, which will reveal the authentic flavors of Dobrogea.
