If you believe Kherson residents, this city is full of mysteries and stories that can be studied for a lifetime. That is why Kherson is one of the popular places for tourism. The city was founded in 1778 by Catherine II, who signed the order to build a shipyard and a wall. The city was named in honor of Chersonesus Taurica. Since then, Kherson has become an economic and political center, the first base of the Black Sea Fleet and one of the largest industrial centers of the Black Sea region. In recent years, tourism has begun to develop intensively here. Vacationers come here to relax in Lazurne, Prymorske, Skadovsk and on the Arabat Spit. The warm climate, modern resort complexes and interesting architectural landmarks of Kherson inevitably attract thousands of visitors every year.
