Kinda serious question, why isnt Romania the sort of holiday destination that Bulgaria, Greece, Croatia and Turkey have become? I know Romania's beauty lies in the mountains and not in the coast, but I wonder why the country doesnt advertise itself as a beach holiday location.

:ro: is IMO interesting and not too much mainstream direction, so why not? ;)
This year I'm nothing going anywhere abroad on holiday, but in 2015 I will probably go to Gran Canaria. I'm not very satisfied, because it's not exciting place. I have other favourite countries (which I want to visit), but I consider Romania as more interesting place than e.g. Spain ;)

Hmm I see Ryanair flies to Bucharest, so maybe in the future! I'm sure Romania is really worth visiting :eek:!

Croatia and Romania are more expensive than the others, but for the sea landscapes probably Croatia is the most cool. Talking about holidays at Sea, Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey had a better organisation and were able to come with cheapest vacations. Of course, we also have a lot of foreign tourists but not the poorest ones. Actually even Romanians prefer these three countries, but only for the costs. But Romania has much more to offer than commercial or wild beaches. At Black Sea we also have the Danube Delta, the wildest theritory from Europe, we have beautiful cities: Bucharest, Cluj, Iaşi, Timişoara, Braşov and many other medieval cities. We have history, beautiful castles, Sarmisegetuza ruins... it was the capital of Dacia. Foreign researchers say Latin comes from old Romanian and not vice versa, here is more mistery, not only the legend of Dracula. Our mountains are amazing, when my daughters will marry I will go to live there. :) Carpathian mountains provide the habitat for the largest European populations of brown bears, wolves, chamois and lynxes, with the highest concentration in Romania, as well as over one third of all European plant species.The Carpathians and their foothills also have many thermal and mineral waters, with Romania having one-third of the European total. Romania is likewise home to the largest surface of virgin forests in Europe (excluding Russia), totaling 250,000 hectares (65%), most of them in the Carpathians, with the Southern Carpathians constituting Europe’s largest unfragmented forested area. And we also have a lot of untouched old villages where people keep thier lives like 100 years ago, thing that is one of the best things. It's a subject close to prince Charles's heart. He first came here in 1998 on an official visit - the only time he's visited on business. He fell so much under the spell of the place that he bought a house in one of the wooden villages (Viscri), then acquired another property which he's turned into a comfortable lodge. He makes a private visit for a few days every year if he can, preferably in May when the wild flowers are out, and both houses can be rented when Charles isn't there. The meadows of Romania are spectacular with a huge variety of species - as many as six times more to the square metre than can be found in Britain - as they've never been sprayed with pesticides or herbicides.
I didn't intend to promote my country here, I have bilions beautiful things to say about Romania, I tryed a short answer for David. And btw, we have Macin Mountains near Black Sea, they are not mountains anymore, but they are the oldest from Europe and then come the youngest earth from Europe: Danube Delta.
