Of course the first thing that you do when you come to a new place is a city tour. It would be a shame to come back and have nothing to say about where you have been?!
We recommend you to start by getting acquainted with the cultural and architectural heritage of the city which combines incompatible things. Odessa has been exporting writers, artists, musicians and chess players to other cities and countries for a long time. It is the real fact that roots of Steven Spielberg, Sylvester Stallone, David Copperfield and many other famous persons are in Odessa!!
Nobody understands why Odessa keeps on giving so many celebrities to the world but it is an indisputable fact!
Around two hours of walking, seeing around and listening to the marvelous stories for $40.00 only.
You can also order the city tour with going to the outskirts. It will be useful for you if you have some interest in religion (because you will be able to see one of the monasteries of Odessa which has an interesting history). If you take interest in military stuff you will have a unique chance to see the part of defense memorial with your own eyes. It was a complicated underground control-in fact, it was a little underground town with thoroughly camouflaged external guns and even a real submarine of the WWII times!!!
The cost of the combined two parts is $60.00 (includes a car with a driver).
Belgorod Dnestrovskiy is one of the most ancient towns in the Ukraine. In the 5th century a Greek settlement Tiras was founded there and since then first Romans, then Slavic people, after Genoese and Turkish people were governing the town. The town is located in the mouth of Dniester River which flows into the Black Sea and creates a large estuary.
The archaeologists still dig near the fortress finding many interesting artifacts. If you are lucky enough, you will be able to find an ancient coin yourself and have it as a keepsake. The fortress itself standing at a cliff looks like a legendary castle and the fantastic towers are reflected in the estuary. The fortress would probably make you recall the legends about the fire-spitting dragons and beautiful princesses. So, if you are ready to kill the dragon for the princess of your heart - go!
The trip takes a day and the cost is $100.00 per person. The price includes a car with a driver and interpreter's charge.
