There has never been a better time to travel to Ukraine with visas no longer necessary for most tourists. Visitors to the country will discover traditional churches, monasteries, and sacred sites providing a contrast to the notorious, but compelling, landmark of Chernobyl. Sites can easily be explored by rail, river cruise, or sea ferry, and also on foot--the ideal way to take in rustic villages of old-world eastern Europe.
Features include:
*Detailed coverage of new hotels and restaurants
*A region-by-region guide to the provinces, including the stunning Crimean peninsula
*Kiev--the birthplace of Slavic civilization--in fresh detail
*Thorough language section in both Russian and Ukraine
