BenderOur road to Bender will last around 1 hour 15 minutes. We will visit the Bender Fortress, located on the right bank of the Dniester in the city of Bender. The Fortress is an architectural monument of the XVI century. The design of the fortress is the work of the Turkish architect Sinan, which was built on the model of Western bastion-type structures. Construction of the fortress began in 1538 after the city became part of the Ottoman Empire. It was surrounded by a large earth wall and a deep ditch, which was never filled with water. The fortress is divided into upper, lower and center. Its total area is about 20 hectares. The facade is located in the southwestern part of the fortress.
-
Tighina Military CemeteryWe will visit the Memorial complex, the site of an abandoned military cemetery, where, according to existing data, there were buried 5127 souls. The military-historical memorial complex was officially opened in Bender, Transnistria on October 7, 2008. The memorial complex was erected at the initiative of the PMR Ministry of Internal Affairs on the territory of an abandoned military cemetery.

Castel Mimi Wine ResortMimi Castle was one of the largest wineries in the USSR, employing 1,500 people in its heyday and producing between 6-7 million bottles of wine a month, with most of the production going to the USSR. Mimi Castle with an area of 10 ha, with a production of 2 million bottles of wine, is among the top 15 architectural masterpieces in the world of wine. The fact that in 2018 it had 40,000 visitors from 80 countries, I think it recommends that you cross its threshold. The tour will start from the entrance to the inner courtyard of the castle which is beautifully decorated with lawns, decorative shrubs, mazes, wine barrels used as decoration, a musical fountain that changes its colors and gushes from the floor. After the visit to Castle Mimi Winery you will be transferred to your accommodation.
If it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.
