Good advice, though you may find that the moment you try speaking to a girl she'll turn away saying "No! No English!". And that's if you (try to) speak Russian. I think being rude to tourists is some...

No need to be envious Hakan, those old guys will shell out a few hundred $$ each and never see those girls again.

Unless, of course, there are some shopping trips lined up :)

Nikolaev is certainly risky because if you aren't lucky on a Friday or Saturday night and don't generate any (decent) leads you are pretty much stuck for the rest of the week. The larger cities at...

Mr Penka, I totally agree that ODS sucks in terms of attitude. The quality (of freebies in clubs) is also quite a lot lower than the Kiev clubs unless you wait till Summer when the place gets...

Apparently Odessa is one of the biggest university centres in Ukraine outside Kiev and Kharkov. I was originally introduced to the place by a group of Indian students (nice lads) who were spending 5...

It might be best to stick to the tried and tested favourites. I've heard a lot about Yeyo.

I'm popping over to the pearl of the black sea for the week end 29 Feb - 02 Mar. Who's around? Woo Dog, we haven't heard much from you in a while :)

Which are the hottest winter clubs to go to for...

Doc Skank and Prosal - thanks vm for your perspective on the provincial town issue.

Although I'm definitely curious about Nikolaev, I think that in the depth of Winter staying in Odessa will just...

Hmm, I have perhaps been a little hasty in booking my flight down to Odessa for the Xmas period. But I had four days to kill and did NOT want to be in London. Maybe I should have chosen Istanbul or...

Bez,

No doubt those cities I listed have their share of Mafia - the industrial towns of the Donbass is where the oligarchs actually make their money. In fact Rinat Akhmetov, Ukraine's richest man...

Well, it looks like someone has a different opinion already!

Well actually I did have an alternative plan - stay in ODS and check out the winter clubs: palladium, YoYo etc. There should be lots of...

Hi Guys,

Just booked a return flight from London to Odessa via Prague, flying out on 22 Dec and coming back on the 26th. This coincides with the four day (w/e + Xmas day + Boxing Day) Christmas...

Sorry, but does anyone understand what this means? I once tried to read Finnegan's Wake by James Joyce. It appears that Vince here has a similar literary style :)

Maybe this report should strictly be in the Kiev section (as I'm about to praise RP), but I really wonder why so many of us spend the time, money and sweat looking for girls in a snooty dump like...

Guys,

Don't take my experiences as a reason not to visit ODS. My brain was not really fully engaged when I got taken in. In fact I don't usually fall for scams so I can only put it down to the...

I really just meant that there are not loads and loads of upmarket fashion boutiques like in Odessa.

Yes, that's right, Taya's the short blonde woman in her (late?) forties who owns the...

Hi Guys,

Who's interested in doing Nikolaev over the last week end in August? It's the bank holiday weekend in the UK.

It's only 100 miles from Odessa but a world apart - girls every bit as hot...

Just got back from Odessa 4 hours ago. All flight, transport and accommodation (Julia at odessa apts) issues went like clockwork, but action-wise, things could have been better. To say the least!...

Hello my friends,

I'll be arriving this Friday (16th June) in the afternoon and staying 3 nights in an apt near Deribasovskaya Street. I've got v. basic Russian and I'm looking for a partner in...
