You will not miss a single pebble on the pavement, on which Pushkin and Gogol, Kotovsky and Zhukov, Fidel Castro and Mark Twain went for a walk. Why there are classics ...

In the course of the Odessa Markets tour we will tell you about the history of the Odessa markets - the most vital organs of the ever young and blooming organism named Odessa. It is the tour where absorbed the unique mood of Odessa. It is the tour where you can find out why Odessa is such a city, which is represented throughout the world.

Odessians usually say: "Because of this drinking there is no time to drink a glass of wine." Since you visit a region, where wine has been made for centuries, then you should definitely visit the Ukrainian winemaking pearl - ‘Chabot’ Factory.

You will attract a lot of impressions: visiting old "Royal Cellar", an ancient Sherry Cellar, giant underground storages, an unusual museum-labyrinth with ancient myths, viewing the film about the history of the settlement Chabot and its founder Louis Tardane in a cinema, seeing the Brandy yard with oak barrels for extracts and Champagne House.

It's hard to describe the rest in Vilkovo in a few sentences: wide Danube and narrow, tangled and cozy yards, local ‘Novak’ wine, "Kilometer Zero" and access to the Black Sea, Vilkovo strawberry and fish markets, cane plantations with the wild wildlife and kind-hearted local people – Vilkovo inhabitants walking on his wooden settings from one house to another, long boat riding to the yards, and cars that feel themselves uncomfortably with such an abundance of floating competitors.
