Nowadays Ostrov has an area of approximately 2,000 hectares with a 1,200-acre wine area, 400 hectares of orchards (apricots, peaches, apples, plums, cherries, nuts), 150 hectares of arable land, and 200 of hectares of greenhouse. The Ostrov areas include the two major centers: Ostrov, with a total of five farms and an area of approximately 600 hectares and Lipnitsa, with a total of nine farms and an area of approximately 1,000 hectares.

The Ostrov domains are located in the southwestern part of Constanta County, along the right bank of the Danube, on the upper terrace, with a length of 30 km.

The wines obtained in this cellar have peculiarities of nobility and originality, which give them a strong and special personality. The wines from the Ostrov cellar follow and promote the European Union’s quality demands. Archaeological sources have shown us that, even 3,000 years ago, the region known today as Ostrov was synonymous with viticulture and, therefore, with winemaking. Over time, in different forms, wine was produced at Ostrov.

The types grown in the Ostrov Domains are the following: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Black Feteasca, Pinot Noir, Syrach and Rebo for red wines.

For white wines, the types are: Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, White Feteasca, Royal Feteasca, Italian Riesling, Muscat Ottonel and Cramposie.

The most important wines of the Ostrov Domain brand are: Ostrov Reserve Domains, Durostorum Fortress, Canaraua Fetii, Sunshine, Ostrov Domains, Awarded, Labyrinthum and Ostrov Winery.

The house was built by the Greek painter Theodor Russo at the end of the 19th century.

The architecture of the building is influenced by the neoclassical style of the architect Pelopidas Couppa.

Built on four levels, the building has a basement and an attic, both higher. The socket was made of medieval extraction stone. Entrance doors are wooden and have a neoclassical style, is decorated with denticulate and capital, place inscribed monogram „TR”. Thus, the visitor can identify both the name of the original owner, the Greek Theodor Russo, and the year of construction, 1897.

The building is distinguished by its vertical symmetry, accentuated by windows. Each of the windows on the ground floor is equipped with a gable with acrotere (socket is placed on a frontron to support statues, vases and other ornaments) supported consoles in its upper part.

Above them are windows architrave (a typical construction element for classical architecture – which constitutes the bottom of the coping and which is supported by the column or the column head wall) supported by the console – Kariatidas, the same number typology.

Above the entrance doors can be seen two balconies with a simple hardware, supported from the side. A console supported by consoles is highlighted with spiral ornaments and a narrow frieze with leaves. Upstairs, between the windows one finds a hard-to-read inscription in Greek.

It is the largest complex for extreme sports practitioners in Romania. The total area of over 8,500 square meters is divided into 4 extreme sports areas for the following activities: rollerblading, skateboarding, BMX, MTB, mountaineering, bouldering, trial, jumping and scooter.

Located near Lake Tabacarie, the Gravity Park sports complex has become a popular recreational activity among the young and extreme sports lovers in Constanta.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced, if you want to go out to practice such a sport or just want to relax, Gravity Park is the right place for you.

You can come to the park with your own helmet. However, in the case of personal climbing equipment, it must be checked by the mountaineer at Gravity Park before climbing the tower.

Located in the heart of the Murfatlar vineyard, the museum was founded in 1970 under the patronage of the National History and Archeology Museum in Constanta.

In the museum there are dozens of exhibits of remarkable value, which certify the practice of wine culture on the territory of Dobrogea for more than 2,000 years. Stopping in the times when the grapes crushed with their feet in stone tanks to get the drink, we remember the robustness of the Dacians who drank the wine without mixing it with water.

Instead of the silver or gold cups, the Dacians served wine from wooden pots, from large deer horns that passed from hand to hand.

Some historians believe that the grape planting in the area is preceded by the cultivation of the first grain, and historical references to Proto-Dacian wine and whether it was made by Strabo and Diodorus in Sicily.
