Nature Escape Near Bucharest

Why visit Comana?

First, you will find an oasis of relaxation here, far away from the city (yet not too far), in the middle of a delta teeming with wildlife.

If you are passionate about birds, you can bring a binocular because you will have the chance to see 141 species, of which 71 are protected worldwide.

If you’re lucky, you might bump into a wild cat or an otter. Just take the time and allow yourself to have a peaceful walk along the paths between waters, relax, and admire the beauty around you.

What can you do at Comana?

The Adventure Park

The Adventure Park is suitable not only for kids but also for the kids in you. You can test your climbing skills, balance, and strength here while having fun.

Biking

Rent a bike and explore the woods surrounding the Comana Natural Park.

They even have the pretty purple girly bikes. Just be careful because these are not really woods-friendly, and if you are not used to riding one, you might have to pay extra attention when wandering on the countryside roads.

The price of renting a bike for one hour is 15 RON (3.5 EUR), while for one day you will have to pay 50 RON (approx. 10 EUR)

Boating and kayaking

Take the boat and set out for an hour of discoveries and water exploration; this will help you better see the diverse biosystem living in the delta.

It can be organized for groups, but you can join one if you are interested. Ask for more information at your hotel’s reception.

If you prefer exploring the delta on your terms, you can rent a boat or kayak and recreate your version of The Notebook (or is it just me?).

The hourly price for the motorboat ranges from 25 RON (5.5 EUR) to 45 RON ( 10 EUR).

Sports

Archery, tennis, paintball, horseback riding, and even riding a carriage in the woods are only a few other activities for a perfect day in nature.

Where to stay in Comana?

Spend a night at the Casa Comana villa, a traditional yet stylish villa overlooking the lake.

Here, you will be overwhelmed by the tranquility of the location and will fall in love with the sunset over the delta.

You can choose to stay in the main villa, which has the main restaurant and access to the SPA facilities.

Conversely, if you want a genuine experience, you can rent one of the secluded villas, where you will have the lake and the house all to yourself.

Where to eat in Comana?

Enjoy lunch and indulge in one of the many huge portions served at one of the three restaurants and terraces on the water here.

You can choose traditional Romanian, international, and Greek food.

Whatever you do, make sure you try papanasi, the traditional Romanian dessert you won’t want to miss.

All in all, whether you come to Comana only for a few hours on a day you decide you want to run away from the hectic city or to spend some days here, you will surely find a destination you will want to return to and tell your friends about.

Useful information:

• Schedule: the adventure park is open from Monday to Friday from 9 A.M. until 5 P.M, while during weekends you can stay until 7 P.M. Be advised that they are not taking reservations for weekends for any activities
• Localization: If you are coming from Bucharest (or any other place for that matter), you will need a car (rent or borrow one) because no public transport is available. It won’t be a long drive from Bucharest; Giurgiu is only 30 km away.
