The bustling Ukrainian port city of
Odessa has played a pivotal role as a major site of trade in the
Black Sea for 100's of years. It once served as the busiest port in
the Soviet Union, until it's collapse in 1991. Today the city, with a
population of one million, now serves as a Ukrainian naval base, ship
building industry and fishing port. A walk through the old city
streets will remove any post-communist feel but rather induce a sense
of Mediterranean charm with it's classical architecture, palaces and
opera house. It is a city with a colorful night life of bars,
restaurants and clubs and full of parks and beaches for family
entertainment. Certainly one of Ukraine's more vibrant and cheerful
cities.
