For unknown reason, the driver decided to take a route which went through several beach towns with narrow roads and huge amounts of traffic on a Sat. It took over 3 hrs to reach the site and 2 hrs home so I had to shorten my tour by 1 hour. The guide was very informative and the site is worth a trip.

It is a 2 hour drive to get to the Fortress from Odessa. An interesting drive as you have to cross into Modovian territory and then out again during the drive. The site involves a lot of history and I highly recommend a guide to take you around and give insight into the history of the place which dates from ancient Grecian times up to the Ottoman period. You can climb up and walk along portions of the wall.
