Day 1. |
| 07:00 departure from Kyiv by bus. 12:30 arrival in Odessa. City tour. "From the Duke to the hatch" (Sightseeing tour of Odessa). One tour of Odessa replaces 2 hours of life. This is arithmetic.

In just these two magical hours you will see Arcadia and French Boulevard; Marine Station and Quarantine Square; two champagne factories and three theaters; two Arnaut streets and three monuments to De Ribas; Odessa film studio and a hundred places where your favorite films were filmed in Odessa.

During this trip you will get a lot of pleasure "in one bottle"! First, past the sea and across the estuary, we will go to the city of Belgorod-Dnestrovsky, where we will visit the largest medieval fortress Akkerman preserved in Ukraine. There you can easily touch the antiquity with your own hands and feet. This is one of the oldest cities in our country. The first mention of it dates back to the VI century. BC, when the natives of Miletus, the Greeks founded the colony of Tyre. Probably no other city in the world has changed its name so often. The Romans called it Alba-Yulia, the Cumans and Cumans - Ak-Liba, the Antes - Turis, the Genoese and Venetians - Mon-Kastro or Mavra-Kastro, the Moldavians - Chetatya-Alba, the Turks - Ak-Kerman, the Hungarians - Farievar, and the local Slavic tribes - Tivertsy and Uchi, called it the White City. You must see this... Lunch on request for extra. fee. Well, then "the second half of the bottle" - visiting the Shabo wine culture center in the Bessarabian steppes with a leisurely tasting of just six wines (you're not going to live the happy days of your life sober, are you?).
