    Understand

    [edit]
    Berdyansk Art Museum

    Berdyansk was founded in 1827, when the construction of a pier - the future Berdyansk port - began on the coast of the Berdyansk Bay, which developed so quickly that already in 1835 Berdyansk received the status of a city. In the future, the city developed as an industrial, commercial and merchant center. And at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries, the healing properties of the mud of the Berdyansk estuary were discovered and the sanatorium-resort sphere began to develop in Berdyansk. In local sanatoriums, diseases of the musculoskeletal system, nervous system, gynecological, and respiratory organs of non-tuberculous origin are treated.

    [edit]

    On the international highway M-18 Moscow-Kharkiv-Simferopol you need to get to Vasilyevka, after passing which you turn onto the road P-37 Vasilyevka-Tokmak-Berdyansk.

    From Zaporizhzhia along the N-08 road through Kamyshevate and Orekhov to Polog, then follow the T-08-15 road.

    Along the international highway E58 (M-23), going from Reni through Odesa to Rostov-on-Don (due to the ongoing military operations in Eastern Ukraine, traffic along it east of Mariupol is closed). This road runs 10 km from the city, so do not miss the P-37 exit near Azov or the T-08-15 exit near Novovasilyevka.
