Description
This tour is a wonderful opportunity to explore Odessa catacombs located outside the historic centre.
The catacombs represent a network of underground tunnels and labyrinths. At present, the length of the Odessa catacombs is estimated at approximately 2,500-3,000 kilometers!
Initially a place for the extraction of limestone, catacombs later turned into a shelter for smugglers, bandits, slave traders, and partisans.
Catacombs in Odessa were never used as a cemetery (like in Paris), more correct word for our underground tunnels is "mine", for limestone extraction. In soviet times, in the period of Cold war, some catacombs were turned into nuclear bunkers. During the tour, we'll visit one of them.
