Journeys to the Middle East occupied a special place in the life and works of Ivan Bunin. His journey to Palestine in the spring of 1907 was of central importance to him. However, this journey had a long pre-history in Bunin's life. This article tracks the development of Bunin’s idea of distant voyages, the significance of the Crimea and Odessa in his life and perception of the world. From there began routes to distant lands, and the first for Bunin was his journey to Constantinople in the spring of 1903. The materials of the research includes biographical and documentary evidences.
