Sea Stairs

The Sea Stairs are a large stone staircase that connects the upper city area to the waterfront below and the harbor of the Sea of Azov. The structure is wide enough to accommodate many people walking at the same time, making it a busy passage between the elevated streets and the water's edge.

The stairs were built during the 19th century as Taganrog developed its port facilities and needed better access between the harbor and residential neighborhoods. They represent an important part of the city's growth as a major trading port on the Sea of Azov.

The stairs serve as a gathering place where local residents spend time together and watch the daily rhythm of harbor life unfold. People of all ages visit to enjoy the views and meet with friends and family.

The stairs are easy to reach on foot and have small shops and cafes nearby where you can stop and rest. It is worth checking the weather before your visit, as the stone steps can become slippery when wet.

From the lower platforms, visitors have a front-row view of ships moving in and out of the harbor while local fishermen work alongside. This spot offers a rare chance to see maritime activity up close from the shore.
