Vylkove, Border city in Southern Bessarabia, Ukraine.
Located at the confluence of the Danube River and Black Sea, Vylkove spreads across 72 small islands connected by an extensive network of canals.
The settlement emerged in 1746 when Russian Old Believers, known as Lipovans, established a community while the territory belonged to the Ottoman Empire.
The population of 7,712 residents maintains traditional fishing practices in the Danube Delta, supplemented by vineyard cultivation on the surrounding islands.
Transportation within Vylkove relies primarily on boats navigating through waterways, as the canal system serves as the main infrastructure for local movement.
Every house in Vylkove stands on artificially created land, constructed by residents who built up layers of soil and reed stems above water level.
