On our third day in Odesa we took a bus trip of almost two hours to Akkerman Fortress. Akkerman Fortress (also called Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi fortress) was built on the site of the ancient Greek city of Tyres. Construction of the fortress is believed to have begun in the 13th century. Akkerman Fortress was protected by the Black Sea (Dniester Estuary), a moat, and its walls (see birds eye view below). Like most of this region, the area has had many rulers, which you can read about in the Wikipedia article<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
