Photos - Odessa
The final destination of our 2006 Belarus - Ukraine tour was the city of Odessa, most famous from the Potemkin steps scene in Eisenstein’s film The Battleship Potemkin. We walked around Odessa for some days, visited the partisan catacombs and attempted to get into Transnistria. We shot many photos as always so our reader can judge for themselves if Odessa is worth a visit.
It was our intention to relax the last days of our holiday and spend most time on the beaches, restaurants and bars of the Arcadia. Bad weather however forced a change off plans and the last days of our holiday ended up more active then planned. Besides exploring Odessa did we visit the catacombs and museum of Partisan Glory in Nerubayskooe village. We also attempted to enter Transnistria a breakaway province from Moldova, but were not allowed in. All in all is Odessa an interesting destination well worth to stay some days, but it can not match the Crimea or Kiev.
