Top 10 Sightseeing Tours in Odessa, Odessa Oblast

August 27, 2021 Janette Largent

With just over a million people, Odessa is Ukraine’s fourth-largest city. Set in the country’s south along the Black Sea coast, Odessa was founded in the late 18th century as a Russian naval fortress. For many years in the mid-19th century, it was a free port, becoming home to a multinational populace. In 1905, it was the site of a major Russian Revolution uprising by crew members of the Battleship Potemkin. The nice old town area has a beautiful opera house, and the city has many great beaches.

Odesa is the city of variety. For this reason a few years ago a brilliant idea was born to make our city much more remarkable and picturesque by using a new art movement - street-art. Now you have a great opportunity to observe it with us and to listen to the stories about these splendid and inspiring drawings (as well as to find a deep philosophic spirit in them for you;)
