Ukraine, Eastern Europe's second-largest country, is a land of vast and diverse landscapes situated between Russia and Europe, flanked by the Black Sea to the south. Renowned for its deeply rooted cultural traditions, Ukraine is a veritable treasure trove of historical sites and natural beauty. Highlights include its vibrant capital, Kyiv, with its historical Orthodox churches, such as Saint Sophia's Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the golden-domed Monastery of the Caves. Beyond the cities, Ukraine is known for its abundance of natural beauty, with the Carpathian Mountains offering exceptional skiing, hiking, and wildlife spotting opportunities. In the south, the Crimean Peninsula is home to scenic coastal towns, while the fertile plains are dotted with traditional Slavic villages known for their folk architecture and customs. The country is also known for the haunting Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, a key site for dark tourism.

Karpaty

People are very friendly, they helped us almost for free. The food was delicious, the views were damn good, and we didn't need a big budget because we were just relaxing rather than looking for activities. There were problems with transportation, because these are mountains, but the locals saved the races here.
