Port Olkhon

Somewhere in the depths of its memory, echoes of the past still linger: the creak of fishing boats against wooden piers, the smell of the fresh catch and diesel fuel, the chatter of stevedores loading barges. Just a few decades ago, Port Olkhon in the village of Khuzhir was a purely utilitarian, working point on the island`s map—a gateway through which vital supplies reached the island and from which stern fishermen set out to sea.
