In September, 2021, with Covid-19 pandemic control restrictions still making it hard to travel to most places, we made a (somewhat) last minute trip to Eastern Europe and spent nearly 2 weeks riding motorcycles through the beautiful landscapes and fascinating towns of Romania and Bulgaria.
Complete blog about the trip here: www.pointsunknown.com/blog/20...
We rented motorcycles from Romania Motorcycle Tours and spent 13 days riding around Romania and Bulgaria. We saw and did ALL the cool things (ok, that’s an exaggeration) including castles, medieval towns, high alpine twisty roads, gorgeous black sea beaches, the Danube river (over and over again), charming guesthouses, delicious local foods, mountain passes, and more.
We selected to do a ‘self-guided’ motorcycle tour because we wanted the ability to go at our own pace and customize our adventure to our specific needs. But that doesn’t mean we were necessarily ‘on our own.’ The excellent folks at Romania Motorcycle Tours provided our motorcycle rental, organized our custom itinerary, and booked our nightly accommodation. They checked in with us regularly over the course of our trip and when things didn’t go as planned (more on that later), were quick to make adjustments - leaving us to enjoy the travel without getting bogged down in logistics. We couldn’t have put together such an amazing and fun trip without them.
Out trip itinerary included:
Day 1: Bucharest, Romania
Day 2: Bucharest to Brasov (via Bran Castle)
Day 3: Brasov to Curtea De Arges (via the Transfagarasan Road)
Day 4: Curtea de Arges to Dubova (and the Danube River)
Day 5: Dubova to Hunedoara (and Corvin's Castle)
Day 6: Hateg to Sibiu: 300 KM (via the Transalpina Road)
Day 7: rest day in Sibiu old town
Day 8 : Sibiu to Dalnic (and Fagaras Citadel)
Day 9: Dalnic to Cetatuia
Day 10: Cetatuia to Amphora Vama Veche (via the Calarasi-Ostrov Ferry)
Day 11: Vama Veche to Balchik (Bulgarian Black Sea Coast!)
Day 12: Balchik to Silistra
Day 13: Silistra to Bucharest (via the Calarasi-Ostrov Ferry, again)
