Ukraine is a mammoth of a country in Eastern Europe with as much cultural and historical sites as it has natural wonders. The country consists of a variety of landscapes, from the soaring Carpathian Mountains in the west, to the Black Sea Coast to the South to the rolling vineyards and countryside. The country is strewn with ancient castles and monasteries and idyllic rivers and waterfalls that make up one of Europe’s prettiest rural sceneries. The art and architecture has been heavily influenced by its Eastern Orthodox Christianity, and no finer examples of this can be seen with the dazzling golden domes sparkling in the capital city of Kiev. A Ukraine package tour overflows with authentic experiences and will surprise travellers with its unique culture.
For lovers of everything outdoors, Ukraine has loads of possibilities. The little “continent’ of Crimea is not only a hotspot for swimming and sunbathing, but its rugged terrain allows for adventure activities such as trekking, mountain biking and even spelunking. There is also plenty of opportunity for kayaking and canoeing in the rivers and other water sport activities off the Yalta or Odessa’s coasts. For the culture vultures, Ukraine is a historical goldmine and wandering through the charming streets of Lviv offers an architectural hodgepodge of stylistic influence. Ukraine abounds with fascinating historical and natural gems, so don’t be the last to discover it.
