The Museum of the Philiki Etairia has been operating since 1979 as part of the Historical and Folk Art Museum of Odessa. A new gallery with a focus on folk art was recently inaugurated in the inner courtyard area, featuring authentic artefacts which recreate the appearance of the residence of G.I. Maraslis, owner of the building in the first half of the 19th century.

The museum is open to the public and attracts many foreigners visiting Odessa as well as local people from the wider region.

More then 2500 km of natural sandstone catacombs are buried beneath Odessa. The part of catacombs used by resistance fighters in 1941 (World War II) is open to public.

Down in the catacombs, the first thing that strikes tourist is an absolute darkness, intense humidity and profound silence. So, definitely it is not for the claustrophobic, but a must to see for everyone.

Address: village of Nerubayskoye, 35 km from Odessa.
