Odessa Catacombs

 Catacombs/Museum of Partisan Glory. The sandstone on which Odessa stands is riddled with about 1000 km (620 miles) of tunnels, known as the katakombi (catacombs). Quarried out for building in the 19th century, they have since been used by smugglers, revolutionaries and WWII partisans. In Nerubayske village on the north-western edge of Odessa, a network of tunnels that sheltered partisans in WWII has been turned into the Museum of Partisan Glory. This museum is very popular. It is located 7 miles off Odessa. Catacombs served as a cover for Odessa Partisans during World War II. You'll walk in tunnels under the ground, where conditions of partisan camp are reconstructed. You'll here the story about Odessa heroes. The excursion begins with a brief drive through the city and will take you past small Ukrainian villages, farms, beautiful orchards and vineyards. Admire the changing view or take photographs of the countryside, formerly known as the breadbasket of the Soviet Union
