Testimonials
The Ivan Patzaichin - Mila 23 Association, with the support of The Romanian - American Foundation, started in March 2021 the Eco Destinations Project in the Danube Delta, dedicated to transforming the Danube Delta into an ecotourism destination.
Based on all knowledge we understood and collected during the 10 years of activity in Danube Delta, we have set for the next two years to set up specific routes able to display and promote not only the natural beauty of the landscape but also elements of the cultural heritage, to the benefit of the Delta, its inhabitants, tourists and general public.
