Moldova,
Ukraine, the Black Sea, Bulgaria, Serbia and Montenegro and Hungary
border Romania. Transylvania and Moldavia compose the northern half of
the country, which is divided down the middle by the Carpathian
Mountains. South of the east–west line of the Carpathians lies the flat
Danube plain of Walachia with the capital Bucharest. Romania’s main
resort areas include the Black Sea Coast, the Carpathian Mountains and
Transylvania. The Black Sea Coast, ideal for family holidays with 70km
(43 miles) of fine white sandy beaches, boasts many resorts, the main
ones being Mamaia, Eforie, Saturn and Mangalia.
