anyone planning to visit eastern Ukraine?

[manteli40]

hey there!

Have you ever visited or thought of visiting the eastern part of Ukraine? I have noticed there are a lot interesting small towns that can offer a lot to a seasoned traveller and for a beginner too. All those nice villages with their monasteries, castles and manors and so on. And in the summertime you can see many kind of traditional shows about music and dance for example.

I think first I would love to see the beautiful Svyatogorsk monastery in its lovely milieu. And it would be great to visit the historical places in Poltava, where history was made two hundred years ago.

What are your experiences about these places? Have you been there?
Nowadays it is very easy to travel to Ukraine from Europe and USA too.
Please share your thought about this theme

I have been thinking about traveling to Eastern Ukraine but I think coming from the United States I will fly into Kiev and then branch out to the different regions of the Ukrainian country... What is the best possible way to travel throughout Ukraine once I am in country?

Thanks
Luke
