My favorite places in Odessa:
Odessa in summer is the best place in the world for holidays! People in Odessa are very friendly and communicative and never lose their sense of humour. Summer here is like one big summer weekend. Odessa is the capital of summer cultural life in Ukraine. Every year in July in Odessa takes place Odessa International Film Festival and many worldwide known celebrities come to take part in it, different exhibitions and also a plenty of concerts and culture events occur as well. At daytime you can enjoy the sun on the beach or to hide from it at some shopping-mall or playing bowling in a chilly place… In the evening to attent some museum or the theatre. Also to try the journey on a small yacht which starts from the Sea Station and to see Odessa from the sea… And I’m absolutely sure you will enjoy the restaurants in Odessa! There are plenty of them here! Odessa is an international city and it reflects on Odessa cousine as well. We can make a visit to Georgian Mimino in Odessa to try Georgian wine with Khachapuri or shashlik, Italian Bernardazzi where also suggests a big variety of different wines, Spanish Sevilla which is famous with its seafood dishes and wine, distinguished French Jardin in the City Garden, of course picturesque Ukrainian Khutorok to taste borsch and vareniki and also Japanese and Jewish and many other different restaurants here. M1 is wonderful place to enjoy the sea view with a glass of wine and tasty dinner in a good company in any season.
We can meet near The Opera Theatre which is very easy to find as it is situated at the historical part of Odessa, near the main and the most famous Deribasovskaya street and then have a walk to the Primorsky boulvard, see the monumets of Pushkin, Duke de Richelieu and Ekaterina II, Vorontsov’s Palace and the Colonnade, across the Mother’s-in-law bridge, Shah’s Palace at the Gogol street, then to the City Garden and Deribasovskaya street.
At midnight the night-life moves to Arcadia which is famous with it’s open-air night-clubs on the beach which work 24\7 May till September. The most famous are Itaka, Ibiza and Bono. Ibiza provides the exclusive concerts and performances of the well-known in Europe and all over the world entertainment stars during whole summer. Openair parties all night long near the sea on the beach tempt here people all over the world. The nightclubs at Arcadia are very popular among the turists and local people and always very crowded so I’d advise you to reserve the lodge to enjoy the performance.
I also can suggest you to attend the Dolphinarium to enjoy their show-program or visit some restaurant depending on your taste and mood. M1 is wonderful place to enjoy the sea view with a glass of wine and tasty dinner in a good company in any season. And later go to the night-club or to the downtown to wander through the night streets which have their unforgettable charm at night and full of people.

Favorite places in Odessa:
“Do you know what is Odessa? No, you don’t know what’s Odessa! There are many cities in the world, but no one like this. Look at Odessa from the sea. It’s a heaven! Look from the shore. The same thing…” – words of Leonid Utesov about Odessa.
Odessa, the pearl of the Black sea is always opened and hospitable to its guests. Arriving here for the first time sure it’s worth to walk in the city centre – to see “corner of old Odessa’, Mother-in-Law bridge, Primorskiy boulevard, admire with Opera and Ballet House, promenade at Deribasovskaya street, drink a cup of coffee at the City Garden, count the steps at famous Potemkinskaya staircase… And after this, if you want to feel the atmosphere of Odessa, you should move forward, away from touristic centre, for instance walk at Gogolya street with its old mansions and yards with wells, or pay your visit to Marazlievskaya street where every house is a masterpiece.
Yards of Odessa it’s a special topic: people dry clothes there, discuss news, relax in the evening, feed numerous cats and decide vital questions. The yards are separate world with its own philosophy. During our walks we do visit couple of picturesque yards.
Opera Theatre and Philharmonic Theatre are two must-visit places if you enjoy ballet and love good music. Apart from classical theatres there are many art-platforms in Odessa, for instance open-air Green Theatre at park Shevchenko.
I appreciate good coffee, so always advise and show good coffee places, such as Make my Cake, White Whale, Atelier, Cannoli and others. I can advise good restaurants and cafes as well.
French boulevard, Lanzheron, Chernomorskaya street, Sobornaya square, Novosel’skogo street with reconstructed building of Kirch (German church) – it’s also places I love and show during our excursions. Odessa is wonderful!
About me:
I can’t imagine my life without travelling, that’s why whenever I have opportunity to travel – I take it. My second great passion is literature: I read books, write reviews, like sharing books with my friends. I’m fond of ballet (I used to go in for ballet 3 years, not professionally), like visiting Opera and Ballet Theatre. I’m open-minded, friendly, creative. Always glad to meet new people!
