Highlights
Experience Odessa as a local Interested in seeing local life? Visit local markets. Or in Odessa, we call them bazars. We'll head to Odessa's most famous market, Privoz. Called the "stomach of Odessa", it boasts endless rows of stalls with home made sausages, feta cheese, fish, fruits and veggies. We'll introduce you to our favorite vendors. We'll try homemade sausage and feta cheese. From the market, we'll go to explore Odessa's famous neighborhood Moldavanka. Once it was Odessa's largest suburb with its own very distinctive character. It was as ethnically diverse as Odessa itself. A Greek lived there next door to a Jew, Bulgarian, Russian, Moldavian, German and Ukrainian. Moldavanka still boats its unique ambiance, cute old courtyards and lots of street cats.

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.
Top-ranked sights in Odessa: Odessa National Academic Opera and Ballet Theater.
