Romania

Location

Romania is situated in the southeastern part of Central Europe and shares borders with Hungary to the northwest, Serbia  to the southwest, Bulgaria to the south, the Black Sea and Ukraine to the southeast and north and Moldova to the east. Roughly the same size as England, Romania is the second largest country in the area, after Poland. Romania extends approximately 300 miles (480km) North to South and 400 miles (640km) East to West.

About a third of the country consists of the Carpathian Mountains (also known as the Transylvanian Alps). Another third is hills and plateaus, rich with orchards and vineyards. The final third is a fertile plain, largely devoted to agriculture.

The legendary Danube River runs through the country, from northwest to southeast, where it ends its ten-country journey by forming one of the biggest and most interesting wetlands in the world, the Danube Delta. It is this area where most of our properties are located.
