Among its vast historical riches, the Black Sea region is home to the legend of Jason and the Argonauts and their search for the Golden Fleece, and the Biblical account of Noah's Ark.

In the face of countless conquests through the ages, the people of the region have endured, and today represent a remarkable mixture of cultures and religions.
