Moldova might be a small country, but it’s filled with hidden natural treasures—especially if you’re into fishing and peaceful outdoor getaways. One such gem is Lake Ghidighici, often referred to as the “Sea of Chisinau.”
Located just a short drive from the capital city, Lake Ghidighici is the largest artificial lake in Moldova. It was originally built for flood control and irrigation purposes, but today it’s a beloved destination for fishing, kayaking, swimming, and relaxing in nature.

📷 My Experience at Ghidighici
Last weekend, I took a trip there with some friends and spent the morning fishing while enjoying the sunrise over the water. The silence, the fresh air, and the reflection of the sky on the lake’s surface—it felt like time had slowed down.
While we didn’t catch anything huge, the feeling of being in such a calm and beautiful place was more than rewarding. We grilled the fish we caught right there on the shore. Simple. Peaceful. Perfect.
