First, passing by the sea and the estuary, we will visit Belgorod-Dnestrovskyi, the city, where a very beautiful medieval fortress Akkerman is situated.

There you can easily feel the spirit of this place which once used to be a Greek colony of Tyra (dates back to the 6th century BC).

Probably none of the cities in the world changed its name so often. The Romans called it Alba Iulia, the Polovtsi and the Kumans – Ak-Lib, the Ants – Turis, the Genoese and Venetians – Mont-Castro or Mavro-Castro, the Moldavians – Chetatia-albe, the Turks – Ak-Kerman, the Hungarians – Farievar, and the local Slavic tribes – tivertsy and ulichi, called it the White City. You must see this …

The second and pleasant part of this tour is visiting Wine Culture Center “Shabo” where you can leisurely taste dozen of wines and cognacs. Traditionally (for our tours), processes of obtaining pleasure and intellectual enrichment are compatible. To be short -“Let’s drink a little bit in a pleasant and smart company”.

During the excursion to Wine Culture Center “Shabo” you will find out some interesting facts about technologies of producing high quality drinks, visit the cellars and workshops, and of course – a degustation of 9-10 samples of the best beverages.

This is such a tour that you won’t go on anywhere else! Only in Odessa (well, also in Rome and Paris) there is such a unique attraction. The Odessa catacombs stretched their gloomy corridors for 2,5 thousand kilometers.
This excursion can be justly called immersion into mystery. You may wonder what is there so special that you have not seen yet? There’s only one reply! Everything!

• The underground bunker of the Cold War era with a 4th degree of protection and 1200 person capacity.
• The cemetery of petrified animals with the average age of 3.5 million years.
• The underground lakes with new species of small creatures unknown to modern biology.
• The chance to try on working in quarries with the 19th century tools.
• The real secret hideouts of Moldavanka’s raiders.
• The permanent dislocation post of the most secret partisan detachment of Odessa, which perished exactly in this area of the catacombs

Believe it or not, but we didn’t list everything.

not the one that was yesterday, but better

There is no street or lane on the map of old Odessa that would not be associated with the name of one of the classics of world literature and we will proudly mention nearly each of them: A.Pushkin, N.Gogol, A.Ostrovsky, V.Korolenko, I.Bunin, A.Kuprin, A.Mickiewicz, M.Twain, Sholom-Aleichem, I.Babel, A.Akhmatova, V.Kataev, I.Ilf, E.Petrov. Of course it’s far from all the famous poets and writers, for whom Odessa was a favorite place for recreation and inspiration.

This excursion could easily replace any of the Odessa excursions, which are thoroughly imbued with shades of Jewish culture. You ask why? Well, during the first 150 years of existence of our multiethnic Odessa, Jewish population consistently was not less than 30 percent of the total number of inhabitants of the city. After New York and Warsaw, it was the third largest Jewish community in the world. Sofya Blyuvshteyn and Mikhail Vinnitsky, Shalom Aleichem and Isaac Babel, Mikhail Zhvanetsky and Roman Kartsev … thousands and thousands of other representatives of this great ancient nation which made the history of Odessa more beautiful.

You need to hear this – the unique street language of Babel’s characters; some Jewish jokes will cheer you up and assure that everything is fine and you’re in a cozy Odessa-mama.
