They have settled along the Prut River in Moldavia and in the Danube Delta.
Vylkove, the last settlement on the bank of the Danube before the Black Sea, is located in the Ukrainian part of the Danube Delta at utmost southwestern Ukraine.
Founded in 1746 and assigned the status of "town", it is also known as "The Ukrainian Venice" thanks to a number of channels excavated inside its territory—the reason why boating is the most common method of transport.
The town's location inside the Danube Delta marshlands makes grain growing almost impossible, thus making fishery in the Danube, delta lakes and in the Black Sea the main occupation of the local people.
In addition, the city is famous for its viticulture and cultivation of strawberries on the islands in the river delta.
