I live in Odessa. This is my hometown, as this is where I was born and raised. There are many parks and squares, monuments and cathedrals, cafes and restaurants in Odessa. A large number of tourists come here from different parts of our planet. Especially many people who want to visit Odessa can be seen in the summer. They come to the sea to sunbathe in the sun, swim in the pleasant cool sea water and get a powerful boost of vigor and inspiration for their future life.
All this makes Odessa special, incomparable and extremely attractive.
As soon as my favorite city is not called! Odessa-mother, South Palmyra, Pearl by the sea ... Who just doesn't live here and what is not here! A million people of different nationalities, ages, religions, views and subcultures ... And they all find a common language, live in peace and harmony.
Odessa is the most unusual city with a life of its own. A city that both its residents and guests are proud of.
I love Odessa for the special flavor of Privoz, amazing ancient architecture, the cozy atmosphere of small courtyards, as well as the music playing on the central streets. I like walking and watching people, taking pictures and filming something interesting. And there are a lot of interesting things here.
