Kiev
 If
you are going to visit Ukraine, you must see the capital of it, Kiev. Its
history spans more than a millennium and regarded as one of the beautiful
cities across the globe.
The luxuriant green of its
parks and tree-lined streets live in harmony with wonderful architecture.
In the 12 century, the son of Prince Volodymyr built his own fortress placed
on St. Sofia Cathedral. It was surrounded by the Golden Gate which today
is restored and you can observe this ancient monument. Andriyivsky Uzviz
is a Ukrainian baroque church that was built by famous architect Rastrelli.
Not far from this place you
will find the building named the Castle of Richard the Lionhearted that
is now rebuilt into an inn by a Ukrainian-American joint venture which
overview the Dnipro River and Podil. The last one is also called Lower
town and is one of the oldest part on Kiev. Pechersk is ancient upper town
that is named after the Kiev Pecherska Lavra that played a pivotal role
in the religious and cultural development of ancient Kievan-Rus and modern-day
Ukraine. Khreshchatic is the main boulevard in the city, running from Podil
to Pechersk. There are other interesting places and you are sure to find
after arriving here.

Odessa Hotels
 1.
Odessa is a very beautiful and jolly city. When you come here you shall
not believe your eyes: sunny streets, fresh sea breeze, branchy chestnuts,
monuments, parks, museums and magnificent architecture.
2. People of Odessa are very
friendly, funny, communicative and open. There is a lot of beautiful women
and men here. It is a great place to find a new friend and have fun.
3. Odessa is always celebrating
something. The most popular holidays are New Year, Orthodox Christmas (the
7th of January), Humor Day (the 1st of April), May Day (the 1st - the 2nd
of May), Victory day (the 9th of May), Easter, the Birthday of the city
(the 2nd of September) and there are many other holidays and fiestas.
4. The climate of Odessa
is moderately continental and comparatively dry with more than 290 sunny
days in the year in the South Ukraine (Black Sea coast, Crimea). Winter
is short and mild with an average temperature of around freezing point.
Falling snow and temperatures below minus 5 Celsius are rare. Summer is
long and hot with an average temperature of 25 Celsius. Temperatures above
35 Celsius are quite often. A mild climate, plenty of beaches, and the
Black Sea attract thousands of tourists to Odessa throughout the year,
earning it the title of "Southern Palmyra."
 5.
Odessa is an eating and drinking place. There are so many different cuisines,
small and big restaurants, bars, national Ukrainian and even local dishes.
6. Odessa is looking after
itself and always in shape. You can find here pools, professional beauty
saloons, fitness centers, ice-skating, rollers stadiums, Aqua Park and
so on.
7. Good reason to see a performance
at the world famous Opera House. The Opera House is interesting not only
by its architecture, but by its rich creative history. The great merit
in the development of musical culture in the south of Ukraine belongs to
this theatre. P. Tchaikovsky, N. Rimsky-Korsakov, S. Rachmaninoff, Ezhen
Izai, Pablo Sarasate and others performed their works at the famous Opera
House.
8. You can spend your time
on the Black Sea and to enjoy many beautiful Odessa beaches. Odessa's beach,
which actually is made up of several beaches running some 40 km or more,
possesses a sea wall and small-scale eating and drinking establishments.
During the summer, particularly the Lanzheron, Otrada, Delfin, Luzanovka,
Fountain, Arkadia beaches are wall-to-wall people, but solitude seekers
can find quiet by walking farther. The sandy beaches are ideal for swimming,
sunbathing and water sports. You can have a very good boat or yacht journey
to the open Sea.
9. Odessa is famous for its
nightlife. There are many nightclubs, disco clubs, casinos and entertainment
places here. Especially in the summer, you can visit Arcadia or Luzanovka
beaches where more than 20 different types of night clubs are located.
10. It is very interesting
city and easy to reach. 320,000 passengers flew to Odessa International
Airport in 2007. 17 Ukrainian and foreign airlines originate regular flights
to 30 countries of the world. You can fly here directly from Vienna, Warsaw,
Moscow, Budapest, Istanbul, Tel Aviv and many other cities. In addition,
the Odessa Sea Port is a busy hub for commercial and tourists activities.
