Solo travel

You don't need to consult anyone else to make plans, and you can go to that obscure place you've always wanted to visit.

Travel with friends

They say you should travel to know if your relationship is a good one, and the same should apply for friendships. Time spent with friends can be so much more memorable when in a new location.

The group tour

The package trip

Pick your beach and let the travel agent do the rest for you. You probably won't learn a new language or meet the locals, but that's not really what a package trip is about.

  I’m outgoing and open-minded person, so I prefer to see the world with friends rather than travel alone. When we travel with our friends, our  memories become even more priceless in our bank of golden experiences. My favourite means of transport is a car because I can plan my own route and reach different destination by myself  choosing  the most suitable time.

  In my opinion, Ukraine is magnificent at any time of the year. In general, the best time to visit Ukraine is either in May-June or September. Temperatures are comfortable, sightseeing is less crowded and there are fewer holidaymakers flocking to the Black Sea beach resorts around Odessa.

You can see beautiful cathedrals such as Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, St. Sophia                              Cathedral, historical buildings: Mariinsky Palace, the House with Chimeras by architect                      Horodetskiy, famous monuments – among them Monument to Bohdan Khmelnytsky – and                       

lots of other places to see.)

The old town of Odessa is really splendid, with parallel streets, hidden in the shadow of the rows of trees. The reason why most people come to visit Kamianets Podilskyi is the incredible fortress, a silent witness of many wars, guarding the city. And it is truly spectacular and will be the highlight of everyone’s time in the city.
