Bed and Breakfast – A Romanian Journey

Lili — Sat, 31 Mar 2007 09:57:29 +0000

Romania is fascinating. You've got to go there and feel its pulse to know how the Greek gods were born. Romania, situated within the borders of ancient Thrace, is believed to be the birthplace of Dionysus, but his real origins are lost in the mists of time. In the Greek tragedies, he is depicted disseminating his rites in Thebes, but Homer, in a much earlier document, describes Dionysus as emerging from Thrace and practicing his rites on the holy mountain Nysa. The Thracians were known as "growers of the vine" in the Iliad and today Romania is known as the sixth largest wine producer in the world. Is there a connection between myth and reality? There's only one way to find the answer: visiting Romania, tasting the wines, enjoying the traditional food, customs and celebrations.

"The Spirit of Romania" or an attempt to brand a country

Lili — Mon, 19 Feb 2007 22:45:09 +0000

What's the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word "Romania"? Eastern European poverty? Gold Medal Gymnasts? Dracula?

One of the last things you might think of is travel and tourism, and a small Romanian based advertising company aims to change that with the help of a daring project The Spirit of Romania.

Romanian travel guide

Lili — Mon, 12 Feb 2007 17:50:08 +0000

A place that has seen political turmoil to the hardest extent but has stood the test of time. A place where mysteries unfold around every corner. Where the nature has bestowed its greatest gifts. Welcome to Romania. Until the modern history was being written Romania was mainly under the influence of the wars. Then it was gripped in the hands of the communist regimen. Despite the wraths of wraths of time the country has stood erect and today it is one of the culturally advanced and educationally pioneering countries of the world.

Maramures – A Travel Guide To Romania 's Region Of Wooden Churches

Lili — Sun, 04 Feb 2007 22:05:08 +0000

There are many regions in this world that are worth a visit, and very often we Europeans tend to travel overseas to see something exotic, or visit people who still lead a life that perhaps our grandfathers knew. Rarely it occurs to us that it is not always necessary to travel far to be able to experience "time travel".

Maramures in northern Romania is one such little known corner of Europe. Amid beautiful rolling hills and lush river valleys live people who for the most part still follow the traditional agrarian way of life. Their life might seem hard and simple and it is a millenarian fight against the weather, to grow the crops, to raise the animals, to work from dawn until sunset without the many mechanized and electronic comforts we think are essential. But, that life can be rewarding in all its simplicity, as each day shows the results of work, and family and friends guarantee that there are often reasons for celebration. The seasonal festivities, like Christmas and Easter or local festivals and weddings, have retained their real value of breaking the everyday routine, and feasting lasts several days and is done with gusto.
