Hi everyone!
Amazing winter in Odessa
Dear friends,
you all know how the summer looks like in Odessa. Nice weather, crazy parties, tasty food and, of course, amazing beaches. Hereby you can see how it looks like in winter 2012:)
What is really worthy to be mentioned, that frozen sea is VERY unusual for Odessa. Last time it happened in 1977, so this is the first time in the last 35 years when people are able to walk by the frozen 40 cm thick ice.
Happy New Year 2012!

Wine-tour for Odessa guests
Last Saturday our team had a great journey. We had provided wine-tour for our tourists and had a pleasure to accompany them for visiting the factory of Guliev Wines.
Guliev Wines have long history. They take their beginning from the oldest wine-plant in the region — OdessaVinProm, that was founded in 1857. Since that times factory has bottled millions of wine bottles. And in the end of 20th century it was headed by the Guliev family, that is in passionate love with wine for several generations already. It was their idea — to create the first author’s wine in Ukraine that would represent our country on the international market. The Guliev Wine» plant was built as a completely new enterprise in 2005, and in 2007 first bottle of this top-quality product appeared.
Guliev wines are produced from the grape that is being grew up in Ukraine, so we can be sure that this is 100 % local, true Ukrainian wine. The plant is situated 20 kilometres from Odessa, and the square of their vineyards is 750 hectars. Also one of the features of the plant is speed of production, as time of grapes delivery to the winery is extremely essential. Every bunch cut even in the furthest corner of the vineyard gets to the production no more than 20 minutes. This is a record even among European standards.
One can say 100.000 words about the plant, but it is really hard to describe the adorable taste of Guliev wines we tasted there, as degustation was included to our trip. We can try to do that of course… but better we’ll invite you to that place, full of magic and calmness. You’ll meet a true legend there and will understand, that Ukrainian wine-makers now do have, what to be proud of. That’s for sure.
Odessa is fabulous
On Tuesday I was showing Odessa to the guest of our city within 7 hours. The great route and interesting company made me recall one meeting and be late to other one — I just couldn’t stop talking about my beloved city!
It is the same if you will work as an eater of tasty cakes or as a listener of favorite music — I simply get a great pleasure while talking about Odessa.
We found a yard where the popular Russian serial called «Likvidaciya» was filmed, went to Arcadia, peeped into catacombs, climbed to the roof of one of the buildings, and saw the great architecture.
I think the author of video is in love with Odessa the same as we are. And believe me, we will show you such Odessa, that you will be able to conquer with citizens of Odessa in love to our city.
Smiling Dolphins
Once you are in Odessa, there are several places that you definitely should visit! Of course Primorskiy boulevard, Odessa Opera Theatre and the oldest market of Odessa called «Privoz» are in a list of such places, as they were known for score of years. But today I would like to tell you about place that became popular only within last few years — Odessa Dolphinarium.
I’m sure there are no people in the world that stay indifferent after they appear close to the dolphins. And I believe there is no need to tell about all advantages of these incredible animals. But to be honest few days ago I was sure that it is impossible for dolphins to touch my heart… and even more to inspire me with their unbelievable energy.
When I was sitting in Odessa Dolphinarium, waiting for show to start, I expected to see some typical tricks. I thought dolphins will jump through the hoops and play with wind-balls. But, ok, I was ready to spend one hour of my time for this show. When the performance started one of dolphins looked into my eyes and smiled like a little child:) Of course smile appeared at my face at the moment and I couldn’t change my facial expression to the end of the show. I’ve got a huge dose of positive there and I’m sure that I will come there again and again to see these smiling animals.
In one word, I advise everyone who comes to Odessa to visit Odessa Dolphinarium. And believe me, you will spend there an hour that you will be never sorry about, no matter of your age, gender and political views;)
