Welcome to Vilkovo - a city on the water, where the Danube meets the sea
Welcome to the website of the town of Vilkovo - a cozy corner in the south of Odessa region, where the Danube River flows into the Black Sea, and boats still serve as local "cars". This is a place where time flows slowly, nature pleases the eye, and people maintain a warm attitude towards traditions and guests.
What makes Vilkovo special?
Vilkovo is often called the Ukrainian Venice — and for good reason. In the old part of the city, instead of the usual streets, there are narrow canals along which people move around in boats. Here you will see houses surrounded by water and greenery, and from the windows — views of vineyards, gardens and the picturesque expanses of the Danube Delta.
Nature that is impossible to forget
Vilkovo is the gateway to the Danube Biosphere Reserve. Here you will find:
- boat rides along canals and channels,
- bird watching (pelicans, herons, cormorants - everything is nearby!),
- fishing in the fresh air,
- and silence, which is so difficult to find in big cities.
This is a great place for those who love eco-tourism, photography, fishing or just dream of a reboot in nature.
Culture and Traditions
The city was founded in the 18th century by orthodox believers, and to this day they carefully preserve their history and way of life. Vilkovo is not only about canals, but also about people: sincere, hardworking, hospitable. In local cafes and houses you will be treated to homemade wine, fish according to old recipes and told how the city lives today.
