Vol 14 - Black Seas

■ Tour Overview Departure: Primorsko Airport (LBPR) Arrival: Odesa (UKOO) Flight Distance: 320 nautical miles Duration: Approximately 3 hours

Above The Sky: Black Sea traces a 320-nautical-mile aerial journey along coastlines where ancient civilizations met nomadic empires and where the legacies of Greeks, Romans, Ottomans, and Soviets are etched into the landscape. This immersive flight in the Cessna 172 connects Bulgaria’s southern coast with the historic grandeur of Odesa, crossing over the wild, untamed wetlands of the Danube Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The route follows the western edge of the Black Sea, a body of water that has been a crossroads of trade, conflict, and culture for millennia. Our flight path begins over Thracian ruins and sun-drenched Bulgarian resorts, progressing northward to the formidable port cities of Burgas and Varna, maritime gateways for centuries. From there, the landscape transforms dramatically as we enter Romania and approach the Danube Delta. This labyrinth of channels, lakes, and marshes is one of Europe's most vital biosphere reserves, a sanctuary for countless bird species and home to isolated communities that preserve age-old ways of life.

The final leg of our journey carries us over Ukrainian lagoons and sand spits into Odesa, the "Pearl of the Black Sea." This city, envisioned by Catherine the Great and crafted by French architects, offers a stunning conclusion with its neoclassical architecture, broad avenues, and the iconic Potemkin Stairs descending to the sea. This tour is a journey of contrasts, revealing the evolution of the Black Sea coast from ancient Greek colonies and Roman outposts to modern industrial ports and unspoilt natural wonders
