Romania – Rough Guide –

“Think Romania, think Dracula? A cast of far more appealing characters awaits: fabulous Gypsy bands, genial homestay hosts, Transylvanians living in almost medieval isolation, and even wild bears and wolves. To encounter them all, as well as riches such as Bucovina’s painted monasteries and the wooden churches of Maramures, you have to get off the beaten path, and nowhere rewards such endeavour quite like Romania.
