Welcome to my hometown. Mariupol is a
city of regional significance in south eastern
Ukraine, situated in the Pryazovia region.
Mariupol is the tenth-largest city in Ukraine,
and the
second
largest in the
Donetsk
Region with
a population
of 431.859
people ( “All
about Mariupol”). Mariupol is an ideal city
for tourism and cultural activities that offers
a good time in such places as: parks, houses
of culture, city beach, an alley of tetrapods,
museums and restaurants.
The Most Famous Park
By now, Park Gorkogo is the most
popular park which is situated in the center
of our city. Gorky Central Park of Culture
and Leisure is a central park in Mariupol,
named after a very popular writer - Maxim
Gorky.The Park's 90th anniversary was
celebrated in August 2018 (“Mrpl city
parks”).
Cultural Capital Of Donetsk Region
What's more, in Mariupol we have more
than seven houses of culture where children
can do their after school activities. For
example: dance, art, phycological and
literature classes. Also they offer an
opportunity to try yourself in doing sports.
We have one of the strongest soccer teams
in the region and we are very proud of our
boys.This makes our city active and at the
a quiet rest (Boichenko, “Ridnii krai”).
Do You Like To Swim ?
In addition to this, I can tell you about
another very popular location -central beach
where people like to spend their free time.
You can find a lot of picnic and camping
locations there and spend a nice time with
your family and friends. Mariupol is situated
in the south of the Donetsk Oblast, on the
coast of Azov Sea and at the mouth of the
Kalmius River. It is located in an area of the
Azov Lowland that is an extension of the
Ukrainian Black Sea Lowland (“All about
Mariupol”).
Tetrapods
And in 2014 when the way of war
covered my city,
our volunteers
created a new
symbol of peace
and kindness-
tetrapods.
Tetrapod is a
figure with a special Ukrainian symbol’s
form and drawings on it. Usually people
draw Ukrainian traditional flowers or use
Petrikivka- drawing style. (Benchuk,
“Priazovsky Rabochii”).
Let’s Learn Some History !
Furthermore, Mariupol is well known for
its museums because they preserve
Ukrainian history. The historical
background is also very interesting. The city
was founded by immigrants from Greece in
1778, so we have a large Greek diaspora in
Mariupol (Benchuk, “Priazovsky
Rabochii”). Also, in addition to Greek, we
learn Ukrainian, Russian and Polish. After
the ninth grade, 2 foreign languages are
additionally chosen. Thank You For Being An Amazing
