Welcome to Romantic Tour in Russian city on the shore of Azov Sea - Taganrog!

If your lady lives in this city-come, you won't regret!
It is South of Russia, and trust me, there no ladies more beautiful than in the South of Russia. By the way you can take a tour to two cities: only within an hour from Taganrog there is Azov, the city where we also have an Agency and where you can also meet many beautiful ladies. If you visit the South of Russia you will never forget warm Russian hospitality. About it I wrote in details in the Tour of Azov, read it because I can say the same about Taganrog. Just like Azov, Taganrog have a rich history. I will give you some details:

Taganrog is situated on a high shore of the Sea of Azov. It is the first port in the history of Russian Navy and one of the oldest Russian towns. It was founded according to the order of Peter I in 1698. Here are some facts from the history:

During ten years, from 1700 till 1710 Taganrog was the main port of the Russian Navy and the fortress guarding the southern state boundaries of Russia. In 1710 Turkey began a war against Russia. Large Turkish squadron was sent to destroy Taganrog. Russian warships stopped the Turkish fleet and did not allow it to come into the Taganrog harbor. Turkish landing party was smashed by the garrison land forces. It was the first war exam to the fortress and a brilliant victory of the Taganrog garrison. The pity of it is that all efforts to save Taganrog were in vain. The main Russian troops under the command of the Tsar were surrounded by superior Turkish forces. Russia was obliged to give up Azov and destroy Taganrog fortress according to the Prut peaceful treaty. In 1712 the fortress was razed to the ground and Tagan Rog was left by the Russians. The pace lay in ruins for more than a half a century. Only in 1769 Russian troops returned to the destroyed fortress and it was restored as well as the port and he harbor.

Now Taganrog is one of he most important Sea ports in the south of Russia. Ships from many foreign countries come to our port.

Taganrog is also a large industrial and cultural center. There are several industrial enterprises that are known abroad. There is one university and some institutes, many colleges, over 30 secondary schools in this town. There are several Palaces of culture and sport, clubs and Museums. The most famous among them are the Museum of Local Lore, the Museum of Town-building and Life, the Art Gallery, the Chekhov Literary Museum, the Chekhov's Lavka (Shop) and others.

There are many places connected with his name in he town: the drama theatre, the town library, one of the oldest schools (where Chekhov was a schoolboy), the street where Chekhov's house is situated. All these places were named after Chekhov.
