Black Sea Biosphere Reserve, Nature reserve on the Black Sea coast, Ukraine.

The Black Sea Biosphere Reserve encompasses over 100,000 hectares of land and water, including the Tendrov and Yahorlyk bays along the northwestern Black Sea coast.

Founded in 1927 as a bird sanctuary, the reserve gained UNESCO biosphere status in 1984 and became part of the international reserve network in 1998.

The Tendrov Spit, stretching 80 kilometers along the coast, contains remnants of an ancient Greek temple site dedicated to the hero Achilles.

Visitors can reach the reserve by taking a direct bus from Kherson city, with the journey lasting approximately 45 minutes to the entrance point.

The reserve houses a natural geyser with water temperature reaching 65°C, which contains minerals beneficial for thyroid and nervous system treatments.
