We started our journey in Tulcea, picked up a tourist map, jumped on the first ferry (there were not too many and it happened to be a fast one) and decided on the way to stop at Crisan.
Everything here makes you feel like you stepped into a different world, a parallel one, and it feels so peaceful. Like time stands still and life has its own pace.
We rented a canoe for a day and paddled all day long on the nearby channels. It was so beautiful, I could not be bothered to take any photos. As for the birds, sorry, they were all too fast or too shy for my camera.
nice place!
