The first thing that catches your eye is the local flavor and ironic jokes of provocative Odessites. As they say in Odessa – you need not only to see Odessa but also hear, breathe, feel and taste.

Wolf Man Manor. Yes, Freud has the favorite patient, and his name was Sergei Pankeev. This manor house is just a legend. In better times, the estate was surrounded by a fruit garden with a fountain, near the lake and it was a small pond with carp, and a little further – coniferous forest. The windows must have a magnificent view.
Manor Kuris. The palace was built of coquina stone in the Moorish style with gothic elements. The original plan of the castle will surprise even the chartered architects, because in the old times everyone could get inside from the top (roof) and from the bottom (underground).
