Odessa Mom, Pearl by the sea - as soon as they do not call their city Odessa. They are proud of Odessa, overlooking it to unshakable heights. I will not say you for all Odessa, all Odessa is very great ... All as in the song. Watch all Odessa during the holidays is not possible. So many beauties, historical monuments, Orthodox shrines, as not in the same city. As Odessa say, it is impossible to see all of the Odessa for such a short time, you can only look at the "little." But this short time is enough with your head, so that the city left indelible impressions. Not forgetful flavor, the mass of extraordinary personalities, the fantastic Odessa humor, slightly gives sarcasm, accompanies everywhere. Especially in public transport, where you can still meet colorful "aunt - conductor, Soviet times."
Odessans belong to tourists as small children, beloved, but "Bestwalk." Hence the attitude, as if a patronage. Odessa meets his humor already from Perron. Observed an amazing picture. On the platform, always full of people passing their housing to everyone and everyone. Grannies with advertising signs are walking by Tudoi-suite on Perron as "at home." The administration of the station "Tries" to fight this type of entrepreneurial activity, constantly announcing the loudspeaker: - "Do not contact unfamiliar people, do not rent housing - this is a hoax." This kind of antichalama. We watched a young species of a man with a sign "not to the state, this is another deception, my apartment is better than the hotel - I have air conditioning" and phone number.
And so at every step, you should only look closely and listening - you like it.
Stayed in a modest view of the Youth Hotel. I will not say that a good hotel, but very reasonable. Feeling, by and large as a visit to the past. Design "Art - Sovieticus".
Just, without delight. SERO - Gloomy building with creaking elevators, with spacious rooms like hostel and what the entire negative will mark, with a magnificent view of the sea from the balcony. The hotel is located in the resort area, 10 minutes to the sea, but this location does not make a headache from prices. Very good prices. 200-250 UAH. In the resort season for the number of the semi-suite.
Beaches Odessa separate narration. Good and not very good. Paid and conditional free. I advise Langeron Beach. There is the cleansing sea in all Odessa.
Free beach (dirty- to be frank, without any service), but next to the magnificent Dolphinarium "Nemo",
With an excellent program. The price of a ticket is 80 UAH. One and a half hours of marine mammals worthy of respect and admiration. I am very advised to visit this institution especially with children (small children on the ticket discount up to 15-20%). Delight is guaranteed.
You can eat everywhere and everywhere. Like, without leaving the beach, the mass of all kinds of cafes, restaurants with live music. But prices are cosmic. Or in the city itself, where it is not expensive, while delicious. There was an erroneous view that Deribasovskaya can be cheaply and tastefully seize. I agree with the latter. You can eat with taste - definitely. What about cheapness, it's hardly here. Deribasovskaya Street is the Odessa business card. Her symbol.
As Arbat in Moscow, as the embankment in St. Petersburg. Every day (in the holiday season), thousands of tourists are walking down the street, admiring its beauties and monuments. This is the most prestigious place of the city. Accordingly, the prices ... Along the Deribasovskaya, the inconspicuous number of restaurants, summer cafes, bars. Prices of course not "Anyh" in comparison with restaurants by the sea, but not far away. Of all this, "voroch" of the food industry I want to highlight the restaurant under the wonderful name "compote".
He is located on Deribasovskaya, but in comparison with the rest of such institutions has very adequate prices, excellent service and just pleasantly go there. An extraordinary homemade comfort, a magnificent summer, an open veranda. We liked. And the kids simply "singing" from pleasure. Desserts - sodium. Compote is served directly in banks, and with you open it. Compote - corporate drink. In a word - the taste of childhood. It is impossible to pass the taste with words, you need to try.
Walk through Deribasovskaya is always a holiday. Here, even at night, life boils. And what is interesting to walk all, even moms with small kids in the strollers. On the Deribasovsky mass of monuments. As historical (great) personalities and curiosity. Home or theorest architectural landmark - This is a monument to the founder of Odessa Arman Emmanuel Sofia-Septimani de Vinero du Pleb, Count de Shinon, the fifth Duke of Richelieu. According to the simple - Duke Richelieu, even easier - "Duke". Monument Adore Odessans. What and says the copper plate. In the photo, without words.
From curiosity and cheerful - monument of 12 stool from Roman Ilf and Petrova,
Monument "Orange, as a bribe from Odessa, Emperor Paul I".
On this wonderful street, you can thoroughly empty your pocket, spending on various kinds of entertainment and similar things.
Return to the theme. In Odessa, there is a network of restaurants "Fast Cow". From my own experience I want to say that in this institution you can always have a delicious and cheap dine.
Comprehensive lunch for 4 people 75 UAH (full first and second dishes). The network of fast food is scattered throughout the city. It is not difficult to find. Even, not far from the "cable car" (the descent on the beach Langeron) is this institution.
Of course, the nightlife of Odessa will greatly hit your budget. What is just worth relaxing in the nightclub "Ibiza."
Expensive, but with a scope. "Ibiza" is the most expensive and most visited tourists on the Arcadia Embankment. But here you can save. If I really want to "let me up", I recommend the Nightclub "Ithaca",
Prices below, people are less and the program is no worse than in Ibiza.
In general, Odessa is an excellent city and rest in it romantically - great. For money - depending on who, why goes to Odessa.
