Odessa

Founded in 1795 by Catherine II of Russia, Odessa lays claim to historical fame as the setting of the fateful 1905 naval mutiny - and of the 192 Potemkin Steps immortalised in Eisenstein's classic film 'The Battleship Potemkin'.

Today this gateway to the Black Sea Riviera has a reputation as a lively artistic and cultural centre, with architectural treasures that include a trio of palaces - and a prestigious 19th century Opera House, where Tchaikovsky performed. Don't miss the shopping arcades - or bargain-price local vodka and caviar!
