4 Days in Odesa

Welcome to Odesa! Smell the sea air and marvel at its old-world feel as you walk its historic streets and booming port. Upon arrival in Odesa, you will be met and transferred to your hotel at the very city centre. Take some time to refresh and unpack your suitcases, then we will head out into the city for a city orientation tour. After, take some time to bask in the sun’s rays, explore its hidden courtyards or try one of its many hip bars…

Today you will discover historic Odesa! After breakfast at the hotel, we will take you on a city tour of the most prominent places around Odesa – including the Potemkin Steps, which create a fascinating illusion as you look out over the Black Sea, and Derybasivska Street, the bustling hub of the city. Immigrants from all over Europe were invited to make their fortune here when Odesa was founded in the late 18th century by Russia's Catherine the Great, meaning that Odesa is one of the most multicultural cities in Ukraine – you will feel vibe as you wander its eclectic streets! After lunch, get ready for a mysterious and exciting tour to the Odesa Catacombs! These catacombs are a large (possibly the largest in the world!), winding labyrinth filled with hidden caves, with a long and fascinating history of hiding rebels, criminals and eccentrics from the authorities. In the afternoon, take some time to explore, relax, or sunbathe by the sea… In the evening, we recommend you try out one of the many seafood restaurants in Odesa - your guide can help you chose one! The rest of the evening is at your leisure.

For those who enjoy delicious wines, today is your lucky day! Today, the small town of Shabo will open its doors to us... Shabo is home to its own winery and wine factory, where we will take a tour of the winery, and learn how they make their world famous products – from vineyard to factory shop! Shabo’s wine is famous around the world for its quality and exceptional taste – you’re lucky enough to be able to try some of their fabulous products at a wine tasting, with tips from a professional sommelier! If you like it enough, you can even purchase some to take a taste of Odesa home! After the tour we will return to Odesa, where you can enjoy a leisurely evening of rest and relaxation.

Looks like our adventure is over! After some free time to stock up on souvenirs and some last minute sunbathing, we will help you check out, and help you on your way- whatever your next destination may be! Consider joining our 4 Day Lviv or 4 Day Kyiv Tours!
