Odesa (or Odessa in Russian) is a major port city on the Black Sea with great potential for becoming a tourist destination. The people are among the friendliest and the least morose in all of Ukraine. The city has many old buildings that would be beautiful, if only restored. Odesa is most famous for a rebellion in 1905 in which it citizens were massacred by Tsarist troops on the Potemkin Steps. These days, it is better known for its Body Art festival on the beach (May 1-2).
