Odessa is a unique city located in the southern part of the Odessa region (Ukraine). It is famous for its beaches, resorts and attractions. But this is not all that Odessa can attract. First of all, its color. Only in this city can you hear how they speak a unique language. Let's take it in order.

Regardless of how you arrive in the city, the first thing you need to do is go to Privoz. Yes, this large market is not what it used to be. But it remains Privoz. Only here can you see Odessans leisurely strolling, not so much buying as strolling.

- Is your fish fresh?

- So it's still alive!

- My Saga is also alive, but far from fresh!

First of all, you need to go to the Opera House. It was built in 1810. Its history is comparable to the entire city. A variety of famous people have rested and enjoyed the beauty here. Including Mishka Yaponchik.

The world-famous Potemkin Stairs are a five-minute walk away. From the top, there is a beautiful view of the Marine Station. Further, you can move along different paths. But still, you need to visit Deribasovskaya, Passage, Shevchenko Park, Cathedral Square, and so on.
