=======================================
More information about the project
The “Greeks of Priazovie: history, traditions,
customs” is developed to get familiar with the most interesting facts of Priazovian
Greeks’ lives as well as to recollect the episodes of the lasting history and get
into the spirit of culture, traditions, everyday life and many other unknown
facts about Greek settlements in Priazovie region. Greeks of Priazovie have established 21
villages and inhabited the city of Mariupol, which is called the “Greek capital
of Ukraine”. However, the project embraces only the most interesting and vivid
pages of the Priazovian Greeks’ history. The route will be mapped through
the most picturesque places of Priazovie. The trip will provide an insight into the
sufferings, endured by Ukrainian Greeks throughout their lifetime; despite
everything, they have managed to cling to their traditions and cultural
peculiarities; they did not give up and were eager to revival. Mariupol
and Priazovie are
waiting for peaceful times to come, for them to be one of the most hospitable areas
for visitors from all over the world again. For we always have a story to tell
and places to show in just a two days excursion.
The trip starts from strolling around the picturesque districts of
ancient Mariupol that leads us to the famous “Kate’s bridge”, the Metropolitan
Ignatius Monument, museums and demonstrates Greek culture and cuisine. The next
destination of our trip is Sartana township, which is the real center of Greek
culture in Priazovie region. Here one can visit the National Priazovian Greeks Museum of
History and Ethnography and the artistic treasure of Sartana, which is the
Greek Palace of Culture n.a. Tamara Katsy. You surely will have a great time
and experience magical, positive moments full of fun and joy. Also, the route
is mapped through the Yalta of Priazovie, where the doors of the St. John Chrysostom Church are always opened
for visitors. Tourists have an opportunity to see with their own eyes the
reproduction of Greek Square in Crete Island and beachgoers may enjoy the
genial sunshine, soft sands and sweet and odorous sea air. Yalta leaves no one
indifferent. The next station of our trip is Urzuf village. An important role
in the life of the village is played by the Archistratig Michael Orthodox Church. Today the
church is the pride of Urzuf citizens, their historical value and the only
church preserved and survived in Priazovie.
Inside the church is decorated with more than 50 icons in Byzantine style;
among those one can see the Icon of Archistratig Michael (the church was consecrated
in his name), which was gifted by Saint Ignatius.
