Odessa Commercial Sea Port

At the foot of the Potemkin Stairs you can allow a few minutes to poke around the passenger jetty and watch the Black Sea. The city owes its 19th-century success to the fact that it’s warm-water port, so doesn’t freeze in winter, a vital characteristic in that period. Over the last 200 years the seafront has seen some dramatic moments in the Crimean War and the mass departure of Jews during a succession of pogroms at the end of the 19th century. On the jetty behind the terminal building there’s a statue depicting a fisherman’s wife holding a child and looking out to sea, along with a small maritime museum and a couple of seafood restaurants.

I visited here in 2020 .. Odessa city is very near to this port . Only walkable distance

19.12.2018 This is the first NATO warship to visit the Black Sea with a direct statement of purpose: to demonstrate British support for the principle of freedom of navigation in the region.

It's a port. Not very interesting
