      RAZIM-SINOIE LAKE COMPLEX- has been formed, over 1000 years ago, by closing with sand strips of Halmiris Cove from Pontus Euxinus (Black Sea). With a surface over 100 000 hectares, is composed from: four large lakes - RAZIM (42 000 hectares), the largest lake in Romania, GOLOVIŢA (12 000 hectares), SINOIE (20 000 hectares), with two connections with Black Sea, 4235 ZMEICA (5 500 hectares); small lakes and ponds; swamps with thatched areas; sandy strips (LUPILOR Strip and CHITUC Strip). The lakes are connected with Danube by canals (Dunavăţ, Lipoveni, Dranov, Mustaca) and with Black Sea by PERIBOINA and EDIGHIOL Connections (Sinoie Lake). Until 60's, when it was artificially closed, there was GURA PORTIŢEI Connection (Goloviţa Lake) - nowadays a seaside resort. Razim Lake was used, until beginning of XIX-th century AD, by Turkish vessels (caiuce) on the route Tulcea-Istanbul.
