Summer is in Ukraine! Odessa. Welcome!

Ukraine
is basically a bi-lingual Country. You'll find an abundance
of Russian speakers in the East and South of the Country,
whereas the native Ukrainian speakers you'll find more
in the central and western areas.

In Kiev
(Kyiv), both languages Ukrainian and Russian are spoken. In northern and central Ukraine, Russian is the language of
the urban population, while in rural areas Ukrainian or a mix of Ukrainian and
Russian (called "surzhik") is much more common. This
is also true of much of the south and the east. But you can hardly find anybody
speaking Ukrainian in Crimea.

Ukraine...
Truly a country like no other.
For seventy years hidden behind the Iron Curtain this Sleeping Beauty
suddenly arose with a new breath of life, throwing off the tyranny of her past
oppressors and proudly proclaiming herself as the worlds newest democracy.
Ukraine's example of determination against all odds has indeed served as an
inspiration to freedom seeking peoples around the world.
|
For the tourist, the openness and warmth of
the Ukrainian people is unmistakable.
The cultural diversity is refreshing, leaving your senses of life, of
humanity, broadened and enlightened.
Ukraine's people are as curious about you, as you are about them. After all, it's been in near total isolation
for a very long time.
For the Traveler there has been no better
time to experience first hand the impact that Soviet style communism has left
on this Nation of 48 million, and at the same time witness a most profound
moment in history. Michael Gorbachev
likened Ukraine's Orange Revolution as equal in importance to the fall of the
Berlin Wall in the emergence of democracy in the former Soviet Union.

Of the Worlds great capital cities, Kyiv
(Kiev) ranks second to none in her livability.
Known in the past as the "Mother" of former USSR strongholds, Kyiv has a
rich history in its importance as a vital part of Europe. With a population of nearly 3 million
'registered' residents, the city is actually estimated to be much larger, with
an abundance of parks, theaters, beaches, and nightlife that beg for
exploration in a seemingly endless trail of discoveries that continually
surprise and delight.
