Sapanta
7.9
Lower score (below 6)
Sapanta's Merry Cemetery — with its painted grave markers and satirical epitaphs started by craftsman Stan Ion Patras in 1935 — brings day-trip bus tours through the village constantly in summer. The entire tourist economy is transactional: entry fee, a few souvenir stalls, next bus. The village itself has around 3,000 people, is entirely traditional, and has no interest in engaging socially with the constant stream of visitors passing through. Women who live here either work in the cemetery economy or live completely separate from it.
