Polovragi
8.1
Mid score (6-8)
Polovragi is anchored by two genuine tourist draws: the Polovragi Cave (Peștera Polovragi), a significant cave system with guided tours operating through the tourist season, and the 17th-century Polovragi Monastery built into the cliff face at the entrance to the Olteț Gorge. Summer weekends bring Romanian families, hikers, and religious pilgrims through here in numbers that actually change the social character of the place temporarily. The commune has guesthouses and a few food options along the main road to the cave, and in season there is more life here than in most Gorj communes — outside of summer it is a quiet settlement of around 3,000 people with limited social options.
