Potemkin StepsThe Potemkin Steps bring us from port level to the streets of the city.  This landmark of 192 steps is made to appear larger than it really is by building them about 12 m wide at the top and 20 m wide at the bottom.  We enjoyed the outdoor cafe at the top with Floyd and Kay Thiessen and took the walk several times.

The day after this photo, a huge Mediterranean cruise ship docked (2000 tourists), and the steps were packed.
