Ochakiv, Port city in Mykolaiv Raion, Ukraine.

The city stands at the convergence of the Dnieper River and Black Sea, positioned on a strategic peninsula at 37 meters above sea level.

Founded in 1492, Ochakiv changed from Tatar control to Russian dominion following a substantial military siege during the Russo-Turkish War of 1788.

The Suvorov Museum exhibits military artifacts and documents that detail the territorial conflicts between Russian and Ottoman forces in the region.

Maritime transport services connect the city to other Black Sea ports, while the fishing industry remains central to local economic activities.

The distance between Cape Ochakiv and Kinburn Spit measures exactly 3.6 kilometers, creating a natural navigation channel for vessels.
