France, Switzerland, Austria, Greece, Germany and Iceland.
An easy question now. What do these countries have in common? The answer is Romania.
Mountains, seaside, beautiful architecture or natural wonders, you can find all of them in Romania.
I always thought that this country is unique. But the unicity of Romania is offered by the diversity of landscapes that you can find only in some of the European countries.
Don't you believe me? Take a look.

The Black Sea in Romania is one of the cheapest beaches in Europe.
Darius Salaci 8 years ago
Well... Greece is cheaper, Turkey is Cheaper, even Saint Tropez is cheaper than Mamaia :D
Bianca Andreea 8 years ago
Well... That's why nobody comes to Romania; because instead of promoting it and showing to others what a beautiful country we have, we choose to criticize it. I think your comment is inappropriate and pointless ;)

It might be really cheap, but the beaches are nothing like the Greek ones.
Andra Magerusan 8 years ago
The point is that besides Mamaia, the beaches are not well taken care of and are dirty compared to other places. So yes, we should point that out because that's why tourists go to Bulgaria instead of Romania! Darius is right,
Erisa Desu 8 years ago
....that looks more like Sunny Beach in Bulgaria rather than the perfect blue shores of Greece...as much as I love romania...this can't be compared to Greece
Talnaci Vlad 8 years ago
I agree, Romania should focus its tourism on mountains, forests and historical places. Peles castle and the entire area around it is like a fairy tale.

It's so funny how everyone is talking only about beaches from Romania. Okay, we all got it, they're very expensive and dirty. But, people, did you pay a bit of attention to the rest of the photos?
Gábor Fábián 7 years ago
Don't forget that it has more garbage than any other beach in Europe. presedinte...2466db.jpg 
Andra Magerusan 8 years ago
Agreed with Darius. It's not the cheapest but probably the dirtiest.
Robert Hevesi 8 years ago
Been in almost every place that's shown and they are even more astonishing in person!

grate country, grate landscapes and even grater ppl if you know where to search for them! in one word, it's like a knife with 2 cut sides, it can be awesome and it can suck, depends on what are you looking for and depends on your luck finding cool and nice ppl, and yes it's faaaar more awesome then other EU countries i visited, and to be honest, ppl are kinda ok if you compare them to for example germans, warm, welcoming ppl who know how to party, country with all landscapes it's all you can wish for, beside more time to travel, and yes, i saw starting with greece till poland all the way, and no, it's not clean as in slovenia but you gonna remain with lots of nice memorys anyway and ohh...grils...you gonna miss romanian grils for sure!and even more romanian food...i've been traveling alot and still i didn't found food such good as romanian food!

u can't advertise something by using words like cheap and compare it to other "products" and saying they are more expensive.that's BAD advertise.. just do it as u would normally advertise a product and if ppl will like it,they wont care if its cheaper or NOT some famous country..

Does this look like an advertisement concept used for Greece for many years? Yes, but it's in Romania (and much cheaper then them coming up with their own add concept)!

The pictures look great and I've seen most of those places. I must disagree, however, with the way you're advertising them. I believe that Romania is not appealing to the world not because it doesn't have nice landscapes, but because it's really not that unique. Add substandard services, culture and language barriers, lack of signage, bad infrastructure, etc., to the mix and then ask yourself whether it's really that surprising that people prefer the European "offer". Services are just as important as the landscape or cityscape. I'm sorry to say this, but services in Romania are, usually, not up to par. As much as I enjoyed Sighisoara, it is a big overstatement to imply that, because a street from there is somewhat similar to a street from an Italian town, Sighisoara will offer a comparable experience. Romania is a very beautiful country, but, personally, I fail to see the "special" many Romanian nationals take pride in.

I just think we show too much kindness to you, foreign ppl. It's not ok the way you talk about my country. No sir, you are not allowed. Your name seems to be something english, american, australian....i've been traveling and i can say i've never seen pride as yours! You,from other countries, think that we are poor(this is not what we decided), not so intelligent(dare us!) and so on...buddy, we are working in our country for foreign companies and we do talk not one but more than 3 other languages! How many do you know? Of course the services are not as you wish if you chose the cheapest ones. Much more to say but i can't explain how much it hurts when ppl like you talks about my country like that. I would never do that with any other. Calm down and stay away if you don't like it. But my friend, don't suppose!
