Millions of people in the world spend their holidays travelling. Luckily, there are many companies today, which can organize your tour and leisure time whenever or wherever you like. As for me, I am curious to know more about new places and countries, to explore their sights and to learn about other people’s culture. Last summer my mother and I visited Taganrog, one of the most beautiful cities in the Russia. This place made a big impression on me which I would never forget.

Here, at Cape Taganiy Rog - the birthplace of Chekhov and Ranevskaya, the place of the last breath of the winner of Napoleon - the Russian Emperor Alexander I.
