Belgorod-Dniestr (Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi)
Belgorod is a small town on the river Dniester, a two-hour car journey from Odessa. At first sight it has little more to recommend itself than the many other modest provincial towns you come across in Ukraine. Yet, look closer, and you will find one of the most interesting archaeological sites of the Greek colonisation: the remains of the polis “Tyras” lie here; the place in which Herodotus once lived and wrote. You will also find one of the largest ancient fortresses in Europe: Akkerman or “The White Fortress”.
A tour from Odessa to Belgorod lasts around 8 hours.
