Mila 23 - Authentic Delta Village
Wetland reserve
What it feels like
Slow water under a flat sky. Reeds bending, herons taking off, the boat engine cutting out into silence.
Mila 23, an isolated village on the Sulina branch accessible only by boat, is the most authentic fishing village in the Delta. Houses raised on stilts, boats as the sole means of transport, traditional seine-net fishing and Lipovans who have preserved their culture and language make Mila 23 a unique place.
Best time to visit
April through October. May–June for migrating birds.
