A private car eases out of the city and the air loosens—salt and wind replace urban exhaust as the coastline pulls into view. Walkable streets, battered seafront architecture and gulls circling above the promenade set the stage for a day that moves from archaeology to sand. Constanța’s forecourt opens like a history book: mosaic floors, stone piers and an Art Nouveau casino that still stares across the water.
