The port basin is constructed on the site of the ancient Greek harbor of Tomis, dating back to the 6th century BC.
The surrounding harbor walls serve as a protective breakwater for the recreational craft anchored within.
During the summer months, the port hosts regional sailing regattas and maritime competitions.
The area is strategically positioned below the cliff-top level of the Constanța Old Town peninsula.
The Touristic Port in Constanța, often referred to as Tomis Port, serves as the primary hub for recreational maritime activity on the Romanian Black Sea coast. It occupies an area integrated into the historic center, adjacent to the Constanța Casino. The port features numerous docked yachts, sailing boats, and small cruise vessels. Its surrounding boardwalk is lined with a high density of restaurants and terraces offering views of the basin. The infrastructure supports both private leisure craft and professional sailing schools. It is geographically located at the site of the ancient Greek colony of Tomis. The site acts as a transitional space between the modern city grid and the shoreline. It serves as a departure point for short coastal sightseeing tours.

Walk the full length of the outer pier for the best panoramic view of both the port basin and the open sea.
Check the local events calendar before visiting to see if a sailing regatta is scheduled.
Carry a light jacket as the wind exposure near the water can be significantly cooler than in the city center.
Avoid dining at the most central terraces during peak weekend hours if you prefer a quiet environment, as they become crowded and noisy.
Highly seasonal; most activity and terrace operations scale down significantly during the winter months.
