The bathing resort was founded in 1972 and named after the Roman god Saturn . At the time of socialism in Romania, Saturn was primarily a tourist destination of national interest. Later vacationers from the neighboring Eastern Bloc countries also came to visit, which resulted in a rapid expansion of the hotel industry. Today the tourist area is characterized by several sandy beaches, campsites and multi-storey hotels. Tourists have been coming to the Black Sea coast from all over the world since the beginning of the 21st century; the majority of the holidaymakers are still Romanians and other Eastern Europeans.
