Berdiansk

The port of Berdiansk extends along the northern coast of the Sea of Azov, featuring multiple docks and industrial facilities across its waterfront area.

The city originated in 1827 when Count Mikhail Vorontsov established a strategic seaport for wheat exports from the Russian Empire to European markets.

Local festivals throughout the year showcase Ukrainian maritime traditions, with fishermen demonstrations and seafood preparations drawing visitors to the coastal promenades.

The Berdiansk State Pedagogical University provides higher education programs to students from the Zaporizhzhia region and neighboring Ukrainian territories.

The Berdiansk Spit forms a natural sand peninsula that stretches 10 miles into the Sea of Azov, creating protected waters for maritime activities.
