Tour: Ukraine - Great Country

The 15-day tour "Ukraine-Great Country" is an opportunity to explore Ukraine from East to West and North to South. In two weeks, you will feel a whole range of emotions, from captivation and pleasure to wonder and shock.

The tour starts from the very heart of Ukraine - the majestic city of Kyiv, where political vicissitudes, bitter struggle, and the present economic life of the country are raging. You will be able to see Sofievsky Cathedral, the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, the Golden Gate, Andriivsky Uzviz, Khreshchatyk, and the Dnipro embankment. In addition, you will be able to take on the role of the registered Cossack, the Ataman, or the Hetman while visiting the island of Khortitsa. It was there that the largest Zaporizhzhya Sich was founded, where the Cossacks met, where a folk Chamber took place, and schools of djur functioned.

In Kaniv, located in the Cherkasy region, you will visit the Museum of Ukrainian folk mastermind, Taras Shevchenko. In the village Mirne, near Melitopol, you will return to the origins of Ukrainian history. Rock temples are the oldest Ukrainian temples created by nature. However, the ancient Ukrainians associated this creation with supernatural divinities. Chigirin is the center of Cossack life. Here, a national liberation war broke out. And in the sunny Kherson, you can climb on the sandy beaches and swim in the Black Sea.

Then the trip will be transferred to the west - to Lviv and Chernivtsi. Lviv is the center of Galician culture. Ivan Franko was born and worked there. Here, Ukrainian literature developed. The largest number of coffee shops and chocolate shops is concentrated here. In Lviv, you will have the opportunity to taste fragrant coffee, bittersweet chocolate, visit the Shevchenkivsky promenade, and walk the oldest city street, Market Square.
Bukovina is a separate Ukrainian region with its traditions and customs that have lasted to this day. Here, you will find the Residence of Metropolitan Bukovina and Dalmatia, the Theater Square, the twin brothers, and the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

This tour is a unique opportunity to plunge into Ukrainian history and to learn more about the culture and life of indigenous Ukrainians.

Looking for adventure? Then journey to Ukraine!

Ukraine has a grand and tragic history. A long time ago, brutal conquerors invaded this beautiful and fertile land and enslaved the Ukrainian people. Since the days of Tripoli and Kyivan Rus, Ukraine has fought for its independence. But no captives could take away the main attractions of Ukraine - the broad steppes, the blue sky, the rapid Carpathian Mountains, and the love Ukrainians had for their native land.

You will be able to plunge into the history of this beautiful and invincible country for several days. You will visit the biggest and brightest cities of Ukraine, get acquainted with Ukrainian culture more closely, talk to indigenous Ukrainians, and try some Ukrainian traditions. In addition, no one has turned down the tasting of bacon, borscht, and varenyky.
We will start the journey from Lviv, the center of the Galician academics, where the earthly life is raging, and delicious coffee and bittersweet chocolate are always poured.

We will gradually visit the most famous Ukrainian cities, and we will complete our journey with Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, where Volodymyr the Great and Yaroslav the Wise, who in ancient times dominated the fierce struggle for the patriarchal throne, where the most important political decisions were made, reigned in ancient times. We will celebrate Independence Day there, which is considered to be the most important holiday for millions of Ukrainians.

You will also be able to stay with your loved ones, improve your relationships, and take on the best Ukrainian family traditions and customs.
