Travelling across Ukraine: Akkerman fortress and Southern Ukraine

In this episode, you’ll travel to the Akkerman fortress - a giant building and a real gem of Ukrainian South. I will guide you through the rich history of these lands by telling the story of the fortress and the ancient Greek city of Tyras which was founded here 2500 years ago. Yes, you heard it! This part of Ukraine was occupied by numerous Greek colonies-policies long time ago. And this was a bridge between Slavic tribes and the ancient world which, however, collapsed under a heavy siege of other nations. There is no understanding of Black Sea region diversity without the explanation of its ethnicity, history and warfare traditions. So have a listen to its exciting story!
