The commune lies on the right bank of the Chilia branch of the Danube. It is located in the northeastern part of the county, on the border with Ukraine. A ferry service across the Danube operates from Periprava to Vylkove, a small city in the Izmail Raion of Odesa Oblast.
At the 2011 census, 65.7% of the inhabitants were Romanians, 24.3% Russian Lipovans, and 9.8% Ukrainians. The same census found that Letea (Russian: Летя, Letya) village had 348 inhabitants, down from 404 in 2002. Of those, 399 were native speakers of Romanian, and 5 of Ukrainian.[3]
The painter Stavru Tarasov (1883–1961) was born in Letea.[4]
