GEOGRAPHY, CLIMATE AND HYSTORY

     Saturn is the first of the 5 resorts of southern seaside, as an extension of Mangalia city and entered into the touristic circuit in 1971, when the Romanian seaside developed extensively. It was then when a hotel chain got into service. Located in the Comorova (forest) area, Saturn has a warmer climate than Costinesti, Eforie or Mamaia resorts. The sea currents have a great contribution to the climate and the 21 sulphurous mesothermal sources give the resort a great healing quality. The mud extracted from Mangalia moor is three times greater than the mud extracted from Techirghiol Lake.
