Odessa, Ukraine City Guide

Odessa In Brief
Founded in 1794 by Katherine the Second with the purpose of establishing a mighty seaport, fortifying southern borders of the Russian Empire, Odessa has surpassed Her Majesty expectations.

Soon Odessa has become one of the biggest and wealthiest cities of Russia. Attracted by Porto Franco business conditions and benevolent climate, migrants and merchants from European and Asian countries, made a beautiful and prosperous home in Odessa. Since then the city was doomed to flourish, thanks to good business sense, positive and optimistic vision and sharp wit of its inhabitants.

Neither bureaucrats, nor wars or famine, even Soviet regime, could not exterminate a special spirit of the city.

Nowadays it is one of the biggest cities and largest seaport of Ukraine. City population is 1027000 persons. Odessa has well developed business, travel and entertainment infrastructure and is deservedly popular for travel and business alike.

Thank you for the excellent job in providing me support to my trip to Ukraine in September 2002. It was a very last minute trip, but you still managed to arrange me very nice apartments, in both Kiev and Odessa. Your drivers were excellent, especially Igor from Kiev. And Irina from Odessa was very helpful in arranging everything, despite short notice. Cost was reasonable. I would recommend your services to anyone visiting the Ukraine. I hope to return to Ukraine again this summer, and will definitely use Unipress again.
