During this excursion you will visit the main places of sightseeing in Odessa and spend more time for observation of Odessa Catacombs. They are situated in the village of Nerubaiskoye, originally created nearly 200 years ago during mining of building materials that were used to build the city. Currently it is the labyrinth of 2,500 kilometers with hundreds of entrances, exits, caves, and tunnels. During the World War II, in 1941, when German and Romanian army occupied Odessa during the war, the Soviet Military headquarters ordered to organize the partisan resistance. And Odessa catacombs were chosen as the camp for the unit of partisans. The provisions and weapons were enough there so the unit could stay underground for half a year. The partisan unit was fighting with nazi and Romanian army during all the period of occupation.
