2500 years ago, as part of Greek colonization in Pontus Euxinus (Black Sea), Tomis was founded, which was recalled by several Byzantine writers under the name of Constantia or Constanta.
Today, Constantza has a superb archaeological museum, while Trajan’s victory monument is at Adamklissi.

CONSTANTA, ROMANIA
Histria was named after the Greek name for the Danube River and was founded in 656 B.C. It lays approximately 30 miles (70km) away from Constantza. Our drive will begin up the coast through rural Romania as our guide describes the passing scenes and prepares us for the archaeological site.
More than 2500 years have passed since on the place of today’s Constanta there was a settlement founded by the Greek navigators and merchants who came from Millet.
