About
Odessa
Odessa
is the fourth largest city in Ukraine. With a
population of just over one million, the city is
a major seaport on the Black Sea, the largest
port in Ukraine. It is a major industrial,
cultural and scientific center.
The city abounds
with beautiful beaches and a thriving night life
with many discotheques, cafes and restaurants.
Odessa has a well developed business, travel and
entertainment infrastructure and is deservedly
popular for travel and business alike,
especially with Western Europeans.
Odessa is a
city straight from literature – an energetic,
decadent boomtown. Its famous Potemkin Steps
sweep down to the Black Sea and Ukraine’s
biggest commercial port.
Behind them,
a cosmopolitan cast of characters makes merry
among pastel neoclassical buildings lining a
geometrical grid of leafy streets.Immigrants
from all over Europe were invited to make their
fortune here when Odessa was founded in the late
18th century by Russia’s Catherine the Great.
These new
inhabitants gave Russia’s southern window on the
world a singular, subversive nature. The city of
Odessa is a home of an extremely diverse
population of Russians, Jews, Ukrainians,
Bulgarians, Greeks, Armenians, Albanians,
Italians, Germans, Frenchmen.
There is
something special in this city. Many of those
people who have never been there before want to
live in Odessa once they visit it. This is
exactly what happened to us,
The source of
this charm is Odessans themselves: a breed
apart, they’re stylish, cultured, funny, savvy
and not easily impressed. They are wonderful
people.
The city of
Odessa offers the best living conditions in
Ukraine, according to a recent survey of major
cities in Ukraine. It has been described as
being the most comfortable, safe and prosperous
of all Ukrainian cities.
Odessa is
known as the jewel of the Black Sea and
the Ukrainian Riviera.
