Branch, lighthouse, film festival, no classic road.

Sfântu Gheorghe, in full
Sfântu Gheorghe is the village at the mouth of the branch of the same name. It is not the town in Covasna county. You reach it by water from Tulcea. There is no classic road.
It has a lighthouse, a long beach, and once a year a film festival that fills the village. The rest of the year is Delta rhythm: boats, fishermen, wind.
Vessel timetables belong to the operator. We put them on the page only if verified. Until then, ask at Tulcea port.
