Partizani lies on the right bank of the Sulina Arm. Long piers, riverside properties and boats hauled up along the shore shape the character of this typical, quiet delta village. This combination of village and river provides a practical point of reference when choosing a location in the delta.

Getting here and routes along the Sulina Arm

The Tulcea–Sulina passenger route passes through Partizani, Maliuc, Gorgova, Crișan and Sulina. Check the timetable and stops for the service before departure. Partizani can be reached by car via Nufăru and a ferry crossing of the Sfântu-Gheorghe Arm; check road and ferry conditions before your trip. You can therefore choose between two different ways of getting there: a passenger service or a drive that includes a ferry crossing.

A tourist route along the Sulina Arm passes through Gorgova, Maliuc and Partizani, and the villages can be visited. By comparison, the passenger route also goes through Crișan and Sulina. This gives you two different ways to explore the river: a passenger service between Tulcea and Sulina, and a tourist route through three villages.

Boat trips and waterscapes

From Partizani, boat trips are possible along the Sulina Arm and to lakes and channels in the central Danube Delta. For your plans, you can choose between the river arm and the landscape of lakes and channels as different areas of focus. The Sulina Arm is the village’s immediate point of reference; trips to lakes and channels turn your attention to the wider waterscape of the central delta. Boat trip operators and availability may vary, so check when making specific plans.

The wider area of Maliuc commune

In the region around Partizani, the entire administrative area of Maliuc commune lies within the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve. This protected-area designation applies to the commune as a whole and provides the village with a regional context. Tourist attractions in Maliuc commune include Lake Fortuna, Lake Gorgova and the Olguța Channel. Two lakes and a channel thus offer different landscape features alongside the Sulina Arm. Check access conditions before planning specific excursions, as they may change.

History and cultural heritage

The historic settlement of Principele Carol was founded in 1899 by several residents of Sarighiol who were seeking good grazing land. Its founding story thus connects a specific motivation with the residents’ place of origin.

In the region around Partizani, the Neolithic settlement of Taraschina in Maliuc commune is designated a historic monument. Partizani itself is home to the Church of the Holy Archangels Michael and Gabriel. The cultural landmarks are therefore located at two different levels: Taraschina is in the surrounding commune, while the church is in the village.
