Whilst in Odessa book a tour of Odessa’s catacombs. This maze of 2,500 kilometres with hundreds of entrances, exits, caves, and tunnels, was used to fight the Nazis in World War II. The tour includes walking in underground tunnels, where conditions of a partisan camp are reconstructed. The guides also tell stories of how the catacombs were used as a refuge for slave traders, who smuggled stolen women out of the port of Odessa to the slave markets of Constantinople.

Odessa
Receive a warm welcome from the friendly citizens of relaxed Odessa and enjoy its pleasant climate. Promenade along Deribasivs’ka Street with its glorious buildings, monuments, shops, restaurants and bars and then descend steep Potemkin Steps. Check out Shevchenko Park and Vorontsov’s Palace, both with views of the sparkling Black Sea. Roam the catacombs under the city before descending by cable car to the white sands of Otrada Beach. Banquet on fresh fish in a shore-side restaurant before taking in a performance in the Baroque and Rococo Opera and Ballet Theatre. The locals party late into the night in the pubs and clubs lining the shore.
Beach or city break...?
Odessa has it all! The museums and restaurants of a city and within 15 minutes walk, trolleybus ride or quick taxi journey - a choice of beaches. So join the locals and head to some of Odessa’s beaches. Arcadia Beach is busy and great for people watching with plenty of outside bars and restaurants. Otrada Beach is one of our favourites, where you can take the cable cars down to the white sandy beach.
