Constanta City and Roman Ruins - Private Tour

 

Depart from the hotel to explore one of the oldest cities in Europe. Before reaching the Archaeological Museum, the bus will pass through the old city, by some of the most important buildings in town, such as: the 1910 Casino, the Navy HQ, the Genoese Lighthouse, the Palace Hotel. Once arrived in front of the Archaeological Museum one will notice the 1887 statue of Ovidius Publius Naso, a famous exiled Roman poet, ”the singer of tender love”. He was the one who described for the first time the places and the population of this region, in his works. The museum displays the most representative and valuable exhibits gathered from all over Dobrogea, proving the early presence of an industrious population. Most of the items displayed are unique and in a perfect state of preservation. “The Glykon Snake” or “Fortune and Ponthos” statues will surely be the center of attention. The Roman Edifice with the Mosaic is a 4th century AD structure, the largest of its kind in the South-Eastern part of Europe, the former commercial hub of ancient Tomis and home to a 640 sqm mosaic. After your visits you’ll do a panoramic city-tour on the way to the well-known summer resort of Mamaia, where you’ll do a short photo-stop. You return then to the heart of the city for some free time and shopping in the pedestrian area. Return to the hotel.
