Resort in Ukraine: Why Odessa

Odessa - is, contrary to stereotypes, not clubs and discos, and especially climate, air and vitamin D. The sun and sea air invigorate, here in the morning never get up on the wrong foot. Waking up even at seven in the morning, you're full of energy - you sit on the bike and send for. Or to the beach. Or to the market for fresh fruit.

Summertime

Season Odessa lasts from May to November. Even in early November you still can bathe in the sea.
How to start the day in the city

With breakfast on the terrace by the sea. Early morning, a glass of prosecco, sea view, gulls - so you can start the day only afford in Odessa. Or on the Cote d'Azur.

 Especially in the morning, the city is still clean, smells like something in a special way, passers little no traffic jams, the sun gentle, Yacht yacht club polished, shining with joy - this is the charm of a small resort town.

Cannes vs Odessa

When Victoria Tigipko just launched Odessa Film Festival, she said she wanted to make of the Primorsky Boulevard Croisette. In Odessa, there are also luxury hotels and restaurants, a promenade with palm trees, the only difference is that Cannes - abroad, and Odessa – native for Ukrainians, to which habitually treat slightly dismissive.

Where to stay

If in the city center, in the "Bristol" - hotel with history at the intersection of Pushkin and Bunin, who since the time of its opening in 1899, was considered one of the most luxurious in Odessa. In 2010 he opened after reconstruction - and now his neobarocco details in exterior and interior have become even more luxurious. Moreover, the "Bristol" like Konstantin Raikin and John Malkovich. If near the sea - then either at the beach and hotel Portofino in Arcadia, or in Maristella Club at Fontana. Both of the rooms and offers tranquil views of the sea.

The most delicious fish

The restaurant "Dacha" French Boulevard. "Dacha" - it's almost a real cottage restaurant is located on the territory of the old manor in the French Boulevard, there is a gazebo, fountains and even a summer shower. But the main thing - the fish, and serves wonderful red mullet, flounder, gobies; and everyone - in their correct season. A most delicious herring in the world - on "Privoz", of course. "Dunaechka" herring-ephemera: salted yesterday, and today you have already bought it. Better not try any in Finland or Norway.

Where to dine

For a romantic dinner - in the Jardin in the City Garden on Deribasovskoy: such a cozy Provence amidst cozy Odessa, ie comfort squared. We recommend the pasta "4 cheese" and ravioli with porcini mushrooms. And of course, deserves special mention their summer playground overlooking the City garden, which in the evenings colorful Odessa grandmother in beautiful hats walking their grandchildren. And if you want her friends to drink champagne and eat a low-calorie dessert, we recommend "Ministerium".

 Dance

Odessa is famous for two places - the glamorous Ibiza in Arcadia and democratic club "Plyazhnik" (beachgoers) on the fountain. Nye legendary Ibiza - a specific place, most of it’s time to the public cede this club to a younger generation. But despite all the shortcomings, the majority of inhabitants of Odessa and guests on Saturday just go here: firstly, it is the tradition of Odessa, and secondly, it is quality, service and safety. A charm "beachgoers" - in a relaxed atmosphere, where you can dance barefoot, but it's worth it.

However, in this issue in Odessa stands to be vigilant, because in beauty salons masters have iron argument: "In Odessa, love it."
