ROMANIA was one of the least visited countries in Europe, till 15 years ago. Closed for more than 40 years behind the "Iron Curtain" and almost isolated from the rest of the world by a   communist regime until 1989, Romania is a land of many genuine treasures that are waiting to be discovered.

Romania is one of the large countries of Europe (the size of the United Kingdom or roughly half of France), with a population of approx. 22 million inhabitants. Along with the Romanians, Hungarians, Germans, Serbs, Turks and other minorities also live in the country. Most of them are of Greek-Orthodox religion, but there are also many Catholics, Protestants, Evangelical, Muslims and others.
Romania is the largest country in South-eastern Europe. It is roughly the same size as the United Kingdom and slightly smaller than the U.S. state of Oregon.
