Potemkin Stairs(Potemkin Steps)

A large number of ancient buildings are preserved in the center of Odessa. I personally think that there are many less famous attractions or museums that are more worth visiting than this staircase. The view of the harbor from the top of this staircase is very beautiful, and there are many supporting sightseeing projects. You can go to the seaside through a passage at the bottom to enjoy the breeze. However, there are many people in the peak tourist season, and after all, there are hundreds of steps. If you don’t plan to exercise specifically, I suggest that you don’t book a hotel on the road below the stairs, otherwise you have to climb the stairs twice to go to the nearest supermarket or restaurant, which is very tiring. Of course, there seems to be a cable car going up, which drives very slowly. I haven’t experienced it.

Walk up from the harbor and after walking up hundreds of steps, you will see the statue of Queen Catherine (or the mayor). This section of the road now feels like a pilgrimage that requires a lot of hard work before reaching it.

Odessa, located in southern Ukraine, 30 kilometers northeast of the mouth of the Dniester River flowing into the Black Sea, is the fourth largest city in the Republic of Ukraine and the capital of Odessa Oblast. It is the largest port city on the Black Sea coast and an important industrial, scientific, transportation, cultural education and tourism center. The city is divided into 6 districts, and the official language is Ukrainian. Odessa was founded in 1415 and was originally a Tatar settlement called Kagibeyi. It was renamed Odessa in 1795. In 1805, it became the administrative center of the Novorossiysk Krai. Odessa has a pleasant climate, moderate temperature and humidity. Because the natural seaport does not freeze all year round, it occupies an important position in water transportation and is known as the "Pearl of the Black Sea". It has exchanges with more than 200 ports in 60 countries in the world and undertakes more than 50% of Ukraine's foreign trade freight tasks.

This restaurant has good food. The borscht and bread are very special, and the other dishes are also good.
