Presentation and offers

The transport inside the Danube Delta is possible only on the water by boats of various size and by local cars (local community as owners) or pedestrian inside the villages, respectively towards the Caraorman (Letea) Forest.

The location of Crișan village is in the middle of the Danube Delta, in the southern point of the Old Danube Delta (it appears as a large M on the map), along Sulina arm of the Danube River. This allows the facile access towards any point of the Danube Delta.

- The first one-day trip is a visit in the northern side of Sulina arm, using the Old Danube way, canals and lakes towards the Mila 23 village (part of Crișan commune), the best illustration of one Lipovan community inside the Danube Delta and homeland of Ivan Patzaichin, famous Romanian canoeist (seven Olympic medals including four Gold medals and 22 championship medals). The breeding colony of pelicans from Roșca-Buhaiova, the most significant from the Danube Delta perimeter is present in the vicinity of Mila 23 village.

- The second one-day trip is a visit in the southern side of Sulina arm, using canals and lakes area towards the Caraorman Forest and village (part of Crișan commune, too), a very well preserved oak forest on the sandy dunes, with impressive old oak trees.

The costs inside the Danube Delta include: 

- three nights’ accommodation, 

- breakfast and a lunch-dinner (so, two meals/day) – excepting tea and coffee, no drink included, 

- pick-up and back Murighiol - Crișan by boat (by the owner of hostels in Crișan village), 

- two one-day trips by boat: Crișan - Mila 23 village (Old Danube trip) - Crișan, respectively, Crișan - Caraorman Forest trip – Crișan

- Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve access taxa

- auto-transport towards and inside the Caraorman Forest.
