Mariupol, a holiday in which the summer boils down to sunbathing on the beach and swimming, is a resort town. The presence of the sea and many water bodies makes it an attractive place to visit not only holidaymakers, but also anglers.

A little about the city

Fishing in Mariupol has always been one of the main trades. In the world this place is known by two names - Mariupol and Zhdanov. The city was founded in 1778 and always stood out for its industrial orientation. But fishing never stopped: neither before World War II, nor during it, nor after the victory. And in the terrible 30th hungry years the fish saved many lives of citizens. At that time, only thanks to fishing, Mariupol did not feel all the hardships of hunger. While dozens of cities in the Soviet Union suffered from food shortages, in this seaside town people ate fish that were caught in the sea or in water bodies around the city. Since then, families have been telling stories about the role of fishing in the life of the city from generation to generation.

Now the situation has changed. Fish is no longer a necessary product, although it is still in demand in the markets of the city. Many are engaged in fishing for pleasure.
