Dear Olya,

It was great hearing from you. If you want, we can meet up while you’re here. Anyway, I just wanted to
let you know some things about Sevastopol.

First of all, there are lots of places to stay. If you need some help arranging accommodations, I’ll be
happy to ask around and make phone calls for you.

As for outings, I recommend to visit Balaklava. Besides the sea and beaches, you can visit beautiful
places in the mountains and some wineries, where you even can try local wine. It’s only about 30
minutes’ drive from the center of Sevastopol, and you can also take an excursion by a ship across the
sea in the harbor in Balaklava. Just make sure you bring lots of summer clothes because it’s really hot
here now.

If you want some other ideas, or if you need anything, just let me know. I’ll be glad to help you out.
Also, let me know when you’ll be in Sevastopol.

Hope to see you soon.

Irina
