The Danube Delta: Vilkovo – a floating settlement

In Vilkovo, a little town on the edge of the Danube Delta, there are only four streets. Instead of asphalt, think water: the rest of the settlement is served by hundreds of canals with a total length of more than 40 km. The Ukrainian segment of the Danube Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is situated in the immediate vicinity.

An excursion from Odessa to the Danube Delta lasts two days. The distance from Odessa to Vilkovo is 250 km. During the course of the trip you will become acquainted with the landscape of the Bessarabian Steppe.
