Things to see and do Odessa (Одеса)

City beach with very good infrastructure. There you can reach the funicular or tram # 5 towards Arkadia. To the south of this beach, there is a nudist beach.

This is the nearest beach in the city centre. She is named after Louis Alexandre Langeron, French Army officer who was the governor of the City from 1820 to 1815. At the end of the Mer Park, at the end of the Shevchenko Park, was once the famous Dacha of Langeron, which today only remains the arc leading to the beach. We reach the beach by walking through the Shevchenko Park.

By bus No. 127 which leaves from the train station or bus No. 161, we pass through the very nice district named Grande Fontaine, occupied by very nice dacha. When you spend more than four days in Odessa, this neighborhood is a real pleasure to visit. By staying in the bus to the station "16 th station" (16 aya stantsia), you can reach a beautiful monastery built on a course. Attached to the Moscow Patriarchate, this monastery has always played a major role in the seminar. Currently 300 seminarians are studying. You can visit a small church where you will recognize three murals: Annunciation, Visitation and Epiphany. The by the backwash of the sea deafening on the walls of the monastery, this visit is a true moment of peace and serenity.

before the Londonskaya, we pass in front of the Palace of the Sailors who took care of the sailors'distractions. This body of trade had its hour of glory under the USSR, where one third of the population worked in the navy. The Black Sea merchant fleet was based in Odessa and has 300 vessels. To honour this local occupation, a marble staircase in Kara leads to the palace.

E's bust is proudly mounted. The history of this man is closely linked to the city. Indeed, his writings had been censored, he had experienced an exile in Crimea in Odessa and then in Chisinau. Count Vorontsov was appointed governor of the «new Russia» (he had his winter residence in Odessa and summer in Yalta— the famous Palace of Count Vorontsov). This is an illustrious character of particular hatred to Pushkin who had the audacity to make the court to the wife of the Earl. He gave him the task of simple secretary, when Pushkin was already known throughout Russia as a great poet. In Odessa Pushkin wrote several poems, such as the Fontaine Fountain and The Gypsies. He also started his famous Eugene Onegin. The Odessites are very proud of Pushkin's passage in their city, which is why a stele bears the inscription: " À, from the citizens of Odessa. " Not far from the monument is a cannon, in memory of the Crimean War, during which a wing bombed the city in 1854.

Between Marazlievskaya streets, Uspenskaya and Lidersovski Boulevard, this park was founded in 1840. Here, on the edge of a escarpment overlooking the sea, the remains of the quarantine wall (Карантинная стена) are found, high during the plague epidemic that struck Odessa at the beginning of the th century. In the park you can also walk through the alley of Glory with monuments reminiscent of the past of Odessa during World War II. The area around the park, especially the Marazlievskaya street, is very prestigious and there are magnificent houses. From the park you can get down to Langeron beach.
