Which is better for the summer - Black or Baltic Sea?
Hello,
I want to spend some time on the seaside in a lovely place. I can't decide which sea is better for a trip - the Black Sea or the Baltic Sea. I will be grateful for all advices. I tried to decide myself but it's too hard.

One of the prettiest places I've ever spent time was in the Baltic, but in none of the countries you list. The Danish island of Bornholm is idyllic if you can do without a lot of nightlife. Charming and unspoiled. Get to it by ferry from Copenhagen.

Thanks, but I'm not sure if my finances would be enough. What about prices of Bornholm hotels and restaurants?
@BritishCaicos
The same about Sweden. Or maybe it ist'n as expensive as I think?

I have some money to spend, and to stay in good hotel, but I'm not REALLY rich person. I like the sun, but I like the cooler weather too. I need something which is beautiful (I love taking photos). I'm more into the nature than into historical places and buildings. I don't really like crowded places, I'm looking for some peace.
As I know, Gdansk and Gdynia are pretty close? Are they really that nice for longer staying?

I like Romania but
"I've heard many great things about it." really?
Well it has a good delta bird sanctuary and some nice old buildings in transylvania and ....what?
Beaches here and Bulgaria are ok. But why come here when you can go to the Greek islands or the Dalmatian coast which are just so much better.

No, it isn't.
It is part of the EU, this keeps prices down.
Stockholm like any major city is expensive. We stayed in the islands last summer, food was cheaper than Britain. Fresh, healthy food much cheaper but chocolate and beer more expensive.
We were in Norway last week. It is outside the EU and the urban legend still stands. The prices are still shocking, Trondheim was the worst with one average restaurant charging £21 a pint of beer.

This may be one of those times when the OP will just have to tough it out and decide themselves. Given constraints that aren't specified and interests that aren't declared, we don't appear to be helping, every suggestion eliciting a "but".
I always figure, if I can't make up my mind, I won't go anywhere until I can. It has the benefit, too, of time to save more money until the perfect destination makes itself known.

I've heard about amazing castles (almost every city/village has its own castle - but is it only in Transylwania, as you said?). And about friendly, helpful people. And about amazing mountain views (but it's rather far away from the sea).
So, Greek islands or the Dalmatian coast would be better? Have you been there? How long? Where did you stay (hotel/hostel)?

In which hotel did you stay in the islands? I think that high standard place would be one of the most important factors for me. I need a place to rest and relax, with nice rooms and SPA maybe.
And I think I'll definitely skip Norway, thanks.

I have some problems with my decisions, so I think that other people could help me. Every idea would make my mind clearer. And for now - I know that Norway is out, because of price. And that Romania maybe isn't that good as I've heard. It's really helpful to hear a voice from people who have beeen in those places. And my "but" is helpful for me too, because I finally realise what I could want or what I couldn't, and I haven't known it before.

There'is a great beach in Romania, close to Bulgarian border - Vama Veche. A place mostly for young bohemian people. There is a free camping close to the sea. You have a lot of beach pubs. If you walk about 2 kilometres, you will find a nice, silent beach with tones of big and pretty seashells.
