with villas and bungalows were created during the
communist era, these being different in both style and comfort:
the most luxurious
(where the running water always went and the rooms
were often cleaned) were reserved for the elite of the utecites

the commune with the same name in Constanta
County, Dobrogea, Romania. The 2002 census had a
permanent population of 905 inhabitants, which is set

The resort has a small lake inside the shore, Lake
Costineşti, which has a 7-hectare area, and low
depth, being before the flood, separated from the sea
by a sandy cord. The lake is the only one on the
Romanian coast that is not fed underground. Due to

a small Greek colony (emporion) called Parthenopolis.
In the Middle Ages, the town was known as Stratoni in
Byzantine times, then by Mangeapunar in the Turkish
era, with a modest population of Greek fishermen (and
later Lipoveni) and by the Mokani and Tatar shepherds.
In the period 1840-1940 the village was populated by
the so-called Dobrogea Germans, bearing in their
language the name of Büffelbrunnen (in the Romanian
Buffalo Fountain). The name "Costinesti" took him from
Emil Costinescu (a landowner and politician at the end
of the 19th century). In the 1960s it appears on the map
under the name of "Disintegration"
