A few facts about Odessa:

• The third most populous city in Ukraine.
• Home to the country’s largest seaport, with developed trade, metalworking, oil refining, mechanical engineering, pharmaceuticals, and food production. It’s also famous for its resorts, sanatoriums, beaches, and cruise tourism.

The city’s main attraction is, of course, the sea — and everything connected with it....

Since I came here mostly for the sea, I looked for accommodation nearby. It’s such a pleasure to stay in an apartment with this kind of view and to feel the sea breeze every day.

...to take daily walks along the shore

..and watch the seagulls.

And here are a couple more photos to wrap up. :-)
