Excursion
At the entrance to the city there is a 12-meter monument devoted to the sailors who defended our country during Civil War and Wold War II:
- this is a kneeling sailor with uncovered head, who is pressing to his heart the cap of his friend died in battles. In his right hand he holds his own sailor’s cap. His strong face is full of bitterness and sadness. Those people who intently stare the sailor often can’t hold their tears;
- across from the monument there is a viewing platform with a picturesque panorama of the bay;
