About Odessa

Odesa, also spelled Odessa, is a Black Sea port city of grand steps, an opera house, sandy beaches and a famously dry sense of humour.

Odesa stands on the northern shore of the Black Sea in southern Ukraine and was founded in 1794 under Catherine the Great on the site of an Ottoman fortress. Its wide streets, laid out in a grid, are lined with nineteenth-century buildings in neoclassical and Art Nouveau styles, and Primorsky Boulevard runs along the clifftop above the port. The Potemkin Stairs, a monumental stairway of 192 steps, leads down to the harbour and appears in Eisenstein's 1925 film.
