WORLDVIEWCAPTURE

Traveling has never been my hobby, but what makes it fun when traveling is having the right people around you, how comfortable your journey is, I mean when proper arrangements have been made, which include a two-way ticket purchase and accommodation.

Odessa has been on my list for a long time. last summer I planned on visiting this beautiful city but my blog work was so much and this made me stay back.

 
As you all know, I am based in Ukraine, which has lots of historical and tourist attractions.
I decided to stop being selfish and share with everyone who might not be able to visit Ukraine.

It's been a very productive week for me, meeting new people and achieving some set goals. I had so much fun visiting the city of Odessa and here are some interesting places I think you should visit if you ever visit Odessa.

Port of Odessa: Odessa is a port city on the Black Sea in southern Ukraine. It’s known for its beaches and 19th-century architecture, including the Odessa Opera and Ballet Theater. The monumental Potemkin Stairs, immortalized in "The Battleship Potemkin," lead down to the waterfront with its Vorontsov Lighthouse. Running parallel to the water, the grand Primorsky Boulevard is a popular promenade lined with mansions and monuments.

The Port of Odessa or Odessa Marine Trade Port (Ukrainian: Одеський морський торговельний порт, Odes'kyi morskyi torhovelnyi port) — located near Odessa — is the largest Ukrainian seaport and one of the largest ports in the Black Sea basin, with a total annual traffic capacity of 40 million tonnes (15 million tonnes dry bulk and 25 million tonnes liquid bulk). The port has immediate access to railways, allowing quick transfer of cargo from sea routes to ground transportation. Along with its younger satellite ports of Chornomorsk (1958) and Yuzhne (1973), the port of Odessa is a major freight and passenger transportation hub of Ukraine. http://ilikeodessa.net/bulvar.html.

The port is located at the western shores of the Odessa Bay. It consists of several harbors that are divided one from another by a number of jetties, while the port itself is screened off from the open sea by a few long breakwaters located in the Odessa Bay. Just around the southern jetty (Karantyny) is a passenger terminal with a multi-story hotel at the Nova jetty. Towards the middle, there is a Ship Maintenance Factory "Ukraina." At the northern portion are located grain and main oil terminals, while at the southern there is a smaller oil terminal amid container loading quays.

 

Sailor's Wife Monument: Monument “To Sailor's Wife” September 2, 2002, in Odessa Sea Port. The monument depicts a woman standing on the balcony floor, holding a baby in her arms and gazing into the sea further, waiting for the arrival of the ship. The author of the modest monument was the famous Odessa sculptor Alexander Tokarev.

 

Opera House: Opera and Ballet Theater is a brilliant masterpiece of architecture. Reaching for Deribasovskaya Street to the intersection with Richelieuskaya Street, your eyes gaze at the stunning beauty of the magical palace, which is harmoniously standing next to Lanzheronovskaya Street. The first theater was opened in Odessa in 1809 on the initiative of the duc de Richelieu; it was completely burned. The new theater was built by the Viennese architects Fellner and Helmer. As the authors of many buildings of the theaters in Europe, they have created a facade in the Renaissance style with elements of lush Viennese Baroque.
