The catacombs around Odessa are in total 2.500 km long, what is hard to imagine. During World War II the partisans were able to fool the Germans by hiding inside the catacombs. Today you get a little impression of how hard the partisan life must have been as original and reconstructed sleeping facilities, a "hospital" and a "kitchen" can be visited.

This is where to go to dip into the Black Sea, sip a drink with a beautiful vista, eat at a restaurant with local or foreign cuisine, disco or just sit and people watch. Take tram 8 or 9 from city centre, end of line is at Arcadia Beach. Get off and stroll down to beach. Pedestrian avenue is lined with kiosks selling food and drink and chatchkies. Street vendors selling everything from cigarettes to paintings line this avenue also. Beachfront has bars, restaurants and discos. Food one can buy ranges from ever-present sashlik kiosks to Japanese cuisine. Not garish or Disneylandesque. Beach accomodations range from bring-your-own to pampered, if you want to pay for it. I enjoyed this area so much I visited it four times in my fortnight stay in Odessa. Leave a Comment Address: Arcadia Beach, south-east end of OdessaDirections: Take tram 8 or 9 to end of the line, or hire cab from city centre. Cab driver should know where it is.

Both hotel and shopping center still exist today, but both have seen more glorious times in the past. Leave a Comment Address: Preobrashenskaya StreetDirections: Historic city center
