Best Odesa holiday apartments

Odessa was founded by Catherine the Great and was soon the fourth largest city of Imperial Russia. Today it has an air of faded grandeur. The Odessans are known for their wit and style and with a vacation apartment in Odessa from 9flats.com you could soon be experiencing that for yourself. Renting your holiday accommodation in Odessa from 9flats.com is a great way to have a really authentic travel experience. You will be staying within the community and not separate in a tourist hotel.

Exploring the city from your holiday apartment in Odessa

Odessa has always been a city of immigrants and these many contrasting cultures give this port city an interesting, alternative atmosphere. There is a lively nightclub scene and even the beaches are just as much places to hang out as to sunbathe on. Sights include the Pushkin Museum and the Potemkin Steps, made famous by the film, Battleship Potemkin. Lovers of architecture, meanwhile, shouldn’t miss the Vul Gogolya. This street has most of the city’s greatest buildings and it has many striking 19th century gems. The Panteleymonivsky Church stands out with its five silvered onion domes and was built with stone from Constantinople. The City Garden lies at the western end of the main shopping street, vul Derybasivska, and is a good spot for cafes, bars and people watching.

Choosing your accommodation in Odessa and Ukraine

Odessa has good apartments to choose from in the city centre and also on the waterfront. Travelling elsewhere in Ukraine, a vacation rental in Lviv will take you to an architecturally beautiful city that is probably the least Soviet influenced in Ukraine. The city centre is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and with sights like the Armenian Cathedral and Ploshcha Rynok market square, it is easy to see why. To the east of the country, an apartment in Kharkiv will take you to the city that was once the capital of Soviet Ukraine. Now a center for science and education, it also has perhaps the liveliest music scene in Ukraine.

Moving on from Odessa

Before leaving Ukraine, a visit to its capital is a must and a vacation rental in Kiev would be the perfect base as you explore this city of broad, leafy avenues and golden domes on the banks of the Dnipro. Head west and you will soon come to the Czech republic, where an apartment in Prague awaits. Here you can explore the old town, walk the Charles Bridge and enjoy some of Europe’s finest beers. Wherever you go, 9flats.com has great accommodation, so book now for a great, authentic travel experience.
