REASONS TO VISIT UKRAINE

  1. It might sound unbelievable, but Ukraine with just 20 years’ history as an independent country has a vast cultural heritage. How many people know that Ukraine was the cradle of Kiev Russia and it is right here the Russian Orthodoxy was born? And how many could imagine that Ukraine can boast some incredible ancient heritage sites like village of Tripoljie which belongs to the culture of 5500 – 2750 B.C.? A curious tourist has to know that this is just a tiny part of attractions of Ukraine situated in the heart of Central Europe…

  2. The beautiful cities of Ukraine. Kiev, the capital of the country, can boast of gorgeous views. There are numerous museums and parks which literally calling for a nice walk in May when Kiev sinks in the white-flowered chestnuts, as well as Ortodox and Catolic churches of many epochs, legendary Khreschatyk street and Andriyivskyy Descent – and, of cause, the mighty river of Dnieper. Beautiful archtecture of seaside Odessa, a home land of many famous people, has also a lot to offer – and so has Lviv where one could emerge in history starting from XIII century the when the city was founded.
  3. Carpathian and Crimean mountains. If you are a camper of fan of mounting-biking and do not want to pay a fortune for your trip, you obviously have to go to Carpathian mountains, the second-longest mountain range in Europe. But stunning views and a deep breath of crispy air is not all one can enjoy when staying in Carpathians: a smart tourist will definitely put up in an authentic Ukranian “khata” (a small rural house) to be hosted by cordial homeowners. If you prefer sea views, your steps would direct towards magnificient Crimean mountains embracing azur waves of Black Sea. Crimea is another story, another Ukraine – and a whole wonderful world to discover…
  4. Ukrainian cuisine is an absolute ‘must taste’! Where in the world you can taste such delicious authentic home-made viands? There a galaxy of the tastiest courses, snacks, soups and drinks: borsch, ‘haluski‘ (tasty noodles), ‘horilka’, pickled vegetables, stuffed goose with apples are only the brightest ‘stars’!
  5. Curious souvenirs. What would your friends say if you presented them a nice item bought in a farmacy-museum (there are plenty in Lvov or Kiev)? Or a set of juniper vessels? And would your dare to dress like a real Ukrainian peasant or a ‘garna divchina’ (beautiful girl)? More souvenirs and surprises are waiting for you: welcome to Ukraine!
