Odessa, Ukraine City Guide

Odessa In Brief
Founded in 1794 by Katherine the Second with the purpose of establishing a mighty seaport, fortifying southern borders of the Russian Empire, Odessa has surpassed Her Majesty expectations.

Soon Odessa has become one of the biggest and wealthiest cities of Russia. Attracted by Porto Franco business conditions and benevolent climate, migrants and merchants from European and Asian countries, made a beautiful and prosperous home in Odessa. Since then the city was doomed to flourish, thanks to good business sense, positive and optimistic vision and sharp wit of its inhabitants.

Neither bureaucrats, nor wars or famine, even Soviet regime, could not exterminate a special spirit of the city.

Nowadays it is one of the biggest cities and largest seaport of Ukraine. City population is 1027000 persons. Odessa has well developed business, travel and entertainment infrastructure and is deservedly popular for travel and business alike.

I just returned from my tour, thank you again for a wonderful job. This was my
2nd tour with Unipress, and it was even better than last year. I saw
everything I ask to see and the guides (Vlada)and (Nataliya) were outstanding.
There is so much to see but never enough time to see it all, I hope to return
again. Also special thanks to Konstantine, who drove me to the Odessa airport
to catch my return flight to Kiev. He did everything except walk me up the
steps of the plane.
Please let Vlada and Nataliya know how much I appreciated their skills.
You are an outstanding travel agency,

thank you again,
