Mila 23
A Lipovan fishing village deep in the delta, where blue-and-white reed-roofed cottages sit along the waterways. It is known as the home of Romania’s canoeing champions.
The village’s name means “23 miles,” referring to its position 23 nautical miles along the old Sulina channel. Most residents are Lipovans, members of the Russian Old Believer community, who keep up traditional reed houses and an Orthodox church. The village can only be reached by small boat from Crisan or Mahmudia. Boats often stop here during lake tours, where you can try fish soup and fried fish.
