Romania's oldest city — a 2,600-year-old Greek colony on a windswept Black Sea lagoon

The oldest city in Romania — a Greek colony founded in 657 BC on a lagoon near the Black Sea. Ruined walls, temples, and baths stretch across a windswept peninsula. A small museum displays Greek and Roman artefacts. Usually empty — just you, the ruins, and the Black Sea wind.
