Mangalia

Situated on a 20 meters high cliff, Mangalia is a tourist town, located in the Southern area of the Romanian coastline. For this reason there are early springs and late autumns. The beach is 600 meters long and 50-150 meters wide and it has a fine sand; the sea water is not very deep - it is 1 meter deep from the shore to 200 meters in the open sea and for this reason it is preferred by children who cannot swim.

It was built on the ruins of the ancient city Callatis, founded by the Greek sailors in the 6th century BC. The town has a total capacity of 1400 places in hotels of 1-4 stars and other more 516 places in the Mangalia Balneary Centre (3 stars) with an integrated treatment base. Leisure activities include indoor swimming pool, equine races field, tennis and minigolf grounds, nautical base opened at the sea, an archaeology museum, theatre, cinema, shopping centre. The fact that the beach is entirely oriented towards the east guarantees a maximum exposure to the ultraviolet rays, the sun burning continuously for 12 hours per day.

The atmosphere is strongly Ionised, with the air full of marine aerosols owing to the sea waves and to the breeze. The sea has a good salinity, appropriate for the human organism (16 g/l) producing no harm and irritation to the eyes. The average temperature of the water in mid-summer is of 21 - 23 C degrees. The absence of the tides and of big waves at the shore as well as the gradual depths of the sea completely exclude any risk for the children and for those who can not swim. In the Black Sea there are no sharks or maritime currents.

The beaches have only finely grained sand or of medium granularity, are sufficiently large and generally, without any rocks underneath. Natural factors for balneary cures. Sulphurous mineral waters with chlorides, bicarbonate, sodium, calcium, half thermal, with a total mineralization of 1,2 1,9 g/l.
