Ukraine is truly rich in wonders, and its landscapes can be compared unless with the best views in many countries of the world. Wlkovo was founded in the seventeenth century as the necessary refuge of the Old Believers and later turned into the most popular southern resort. However, it should be noted that the road from Odessa to Vilkovo is especially the site that passes through the Kili district, very very bad.
The very first inhabitants here appeared here at the end of the 18th century after a split occurred in Tsarist Russia, and those who refused to take new rules of Moscow Patriarch Nikon, got into the category of old goods, were excommunicated from the church and forced to look for a new place to stay.
Many of them fled as far as possible from Moscow and even for the Danube, that is, in the land that belonged to the Ottoman Empire at that time. So in the place of modern Vilkovo in 1746 the settlement was founded, which was then called Lipanovskoye. This name actually said that the village belonged to the Starovaram-Lipovanam, but he received the status of the city already in 1762.
After Ekaterina II eliminated the Zaporizhia Schish, the Lipanskoy settlement began to expand even at the expense of the runaway Zaporizhia Cossacks with their families. Then, after a series of Russian-Turkish wars, Vilkovo, which is part of Bessarabia, passed into the possession of the Russian Empire. However, it should be noted that the Old Believers and still live in this area. A feature of this city is that in those long-standing times, sticky in essence donkeys on the swampy terrain, located at the mouth of the Danube River.
Naturally, the lands were not intended here for construction, but thanks to their unbearable work and a great desire to preserve their faith, the real city has grown here. Only here is the soil for possible construction to residents of the village had to be scolded with literally with their hands - to make the hills and form the islands, which are surrounded by canals of the Eriks.
Gradually, as a result of many construction, such channels were transformed into real rivers, and because of this, at some point the city was completely in water. Naturally, it was possible to move through the streets of this village only by boats, but bridges began between neighboring houses. To date, many ducts between houses in Vilkovo, unfortunately, roughly polluted. However, in the very center of the village, you can still widden and make sure they lived here more than two hundred years ago.
Willow can buy a tour in any local firm or in the nearby resort towns, or if desired, you can contact someone from local fishermen, who will gladly show you the city from a completely different side. In principle, in Vilkovo, you can quite calmly walk along the wooden floors paved between houses, and in some areas even pass by car. However, do not forget that the boat walks on the boat will enrich you extraordinary sensations.
Until now, most of Vilkovo residents are adolesmores. Probably, therefore, two of the three churches are old-supplied, and they are located on the picturesque islands. Also right here on the shore of the Danube you can find a monument to the Old Believer lipovanu, which is considered to be the founder of Workovo.
People here in essence live just like their ancestors, and the city of Vilkovo itself is most likely like a big and very unusual village. It is in this very distinctiveness that the whole charm of the city is essentially. Mostly here are engaged in agriculture, the truth is very different from the life of the southern part of Ukraine, since the lands in order to plow it, there is practically no.
Naturally, fisheries are remarkably well developed in Vilkovo. Fishing is not only local fishery, but of course and fascinating entertainment for tourists. However, if you do not have enough patience to sit down long hours on the shore with a fishing rod, then you can buy some kind of fish in the local market - at least raw, even dried, at least smoked.
Worko itself is at a distance from the sea, so it is best to stay in some of the nearby resorts on the sea coast, and from there come back to this city. Or you can stay in Vilkovo itself and then ride the sea. The closest resort on the sea coast from Vilkovo is located in Primorsky, they are divided by only half an hour. You can also settle in Lebedevka, in a resort or in Nikolayevka, since these cities are closest to the coast in the interval between Odessa and Vilkovo.
