Odessa
Map
The map below shows the areas of Odessa covered by
the more detailed map.
The maps include:
Some of
Odessa's small streets and alleyways may not be on
the maps.
Many streets
have two names, the old Soviet one and the new Ukrainian
(pre-revolution) one. Odessites sometimes only know
the old name. Refer
to the list of old and new street names. In
this guide we use the newer official names.
Keep in
mind that Odessa city blocks are long and many offices
and business use one building number.
Compass
directions and Orientation
As mentioned in the introduction, throughout this
book we use the directions North, South, East, West.
It is important to note:
- For
simplicity, north in this book is defined as the
port, or the huge Kempinski hotel. Actually North
is to the left / west of the hotel. In the center
the train station is to the south.
- Another
simple way to remember compass directions is in
the center/old part of the city, that the to the
north and west is water. North is the port and Kempinski
hotel, West are the beaches and Shevchenko Park
(Парк Шевченко).
- Also
street numbers are always:
- EVEN
on the north and west sides of the street, and
- ODD
on the south and east sides of the street.
- Ukrainians
do not use the compass for directions in daily life.
Most Ukrainians could not tell a person where North
or South is in relation to landmarks in their city.
