If you track the course of the Southern Bug River down to its estuary you’ll come to an enthralling archaeological site outside the village of Parutyne. There are ruins right beside the Black Sea, surrounded by steppe. Olbia goes back to the 7th century BC when it was settled by Ancient Greek colonists from Miletus. Over the next 1,000 years it was a major trading post between Greece and Scythia to the north, exchanging grain and slaves. The site covers around 50 hectares and was first excavated at the start of the 20th century. Many of the finds have ended up at Mykolaiv’s Regional History Museum.

Fantastic walk into a 3500 year old Greek town, later taken over by the Romans then eventually regained by the French

I only gave this site a 2 because it was closed for the winter and we only got to see what we could from the road. Very disappointed that we could not visit the site. I understand that winter is slow but there are still tourists that come in the winter and can not visit many sites or landmarks because they are closed. We passed by this site many times while we were in the area and there were always many people stopped at the site to visit but could not. What a shame!

Plonger dans le passer se site nous ramène à des bâtisse d'autre fois... A chaque emplacement ce situe un panneau expliquant ce que nous sommes en train de voir. Ceci convient même aux enfants car il est très bien expliqué... Des fouilles plus que passionnante, et belle, on y apprend beaucoup de choses. Petit plus on a vue sur mer... Je vous le recommande fortement.

Ce n'est pas un site exceptionnel ou mythique. Mais je peux vous assurer que pour le prix (3euros max) c'est très intéressant et sympathique pour toute personne aimant l'histoire et la période grec et/ou romaine. Cela prend environ 1h de faire la visite, il n'y a que les fondations restantes mais, avec un peu d'imagination, on se représente bien la ville.

Il reste encore de superbes vestiges sur ce site créé par les ancêtres des \Marseillais\ avant notre ère. Une belle promenade à la découverte du passé avec à chaque lieu du site des explications. Derrière nous la plage de l'Almanarre pour ne rien gâcher...
