We set out for a city tour when we arrived in Odessa. At the end of our pier were the Potemkin stairs – the official entrance to the city from the sea. The designer of the stairs set out to create an optical illusion, looking down the stairs you only see the landings, looking up the steps you only see the stairs and not the landings.
As our bus drove around, parts of Odessa were very nice. A nice walkway park along the top of the Potemkin steps that let you walk to the opera house and a few museums and parks.
This being a summer Sunday, people were out and about, enjoying the beautiful day. Unfortunately, it made it difficult to get to and from the ship.
