,,Never speak nicely about Romania, because nobody would believe you."
Is this statement real?
dogs and homeless children and beggars, dusty streets and dusty towns ?
Why Romania? Why namely Romania since there are, a couple of steps farther towards West, Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic? Could this country about which rarely one hears nice words offer unique moments? Could this country located between the Balkans and the Carpathians, between East and West, provide unforgetable moments? You may rightly wonder.
I will try to answer to these questions as well as to other questions in this page which is, at the same time, the page of the new travel agency Medieval Tours.

Viscri cemetery
,,A nearby country yet so far away, with a scent of mistery and antiqueness", says the Spanish writer Josan Hatero in his novel ,,Romania in October".
Let me invite you to visit a land with untouched landscapes, with villages and hospitable people - which rarely would you meet in some other countries - with vast flower meadows, with the most beautiful monasteries ever seen all over the world, with wonderful bird singing in the Danube Delta, with the unique landscapes of the Danube Delta, with incomparable wood churches of Maramures and last but not least, the unrivalled Medieval church-fortresses outliving over centuries. All this offers you, the traveller in this land, a sensation of timelessness which takes you away to far Medieval vanished worlds and yet, so close to you.

Let the sensation lead you to this country; try the steam train in the Vaser Valey in the highland of Maramures, try a ride on the narrow railway in the Apuseni Mountains. Forget about accomodation in a 5***** hotel and try to sleep overnight in a 100 years' house in the Transylvanian Saxon villages; live simply and cleanly for a couple of days in the countryside, try rustic accomodation in private homes; ask the peasants about pottery, carpet weaving, painting on glbutt, egg dyeing and painting. Ask them about the Merry Cemetery and ask them why they meet rest with a smile on their faces; have a meal at a sheepfold located in highlands, together with the shepherds and their livestock; feel at least for one day the Medieval world in the unequaled Fortress of Sighisoara. At the end of such intense journey you may have the answer to the question:
WHY ROMANIA?
