Favorite thing: Statue of the Duke of Richelieu. The Duke of Richelieu was one of Odessa's founders. The bronze statue was first erected in 1828 by the St. Petersburg sculptor I. Martos and architect A. Melnikov. The Statue is located just before the Potemkinskaya Stairs, one of the most famous attactions in Odessa.

Favorite thing: See the old part of the city. Please do not go shopping, you can shop somewhere else. You just MUST see Odessa port and Odessa Opera Theater.
Fondest memory: I have lived there almost all my life. I love this city near the Black Sea. I love to watch sunsets and sunrises on the beach. You just can't forget the experience like that. And once you see it you are going to miss it that's for sure.
