Dominating the town is the impressive Akkerman Fortress which could have come straight from the pages of a story book. Visitors can spend a most interesting day exploring the ancient walls, soaring towers and amazing remnants of a Tartar mosque with our guide to hear tales of the diverse and turbulent history of the landmark dating back to the 13th century.
Following this visit, you will have an unprecedented opportunity to view the excavation site of the ancient Greek colony of Tira founded in the 6th century BC. Get acquainted with the 1000-year long history of this antique settlement and walk through the evocative ruins including the old Greek temple and a Roman tower. Indulge in а typical Ukrainian dinner and watch а dramatic display of folk music and dance in the delightful ambience of а local restaurant. You can complement your meal with the opportunity to sample excellent local vintage wine.
