Ukraine
Ukraine is one of the oldest and most beautiful
countries in East Europe. In ancient times it was
known as Kievan Rus , that is why its current
capital is named Kiev. The country has a
fascinating history and rich culture. Apart from
historic monuments, churches, museums,
palaces, Ukraine is full of natural wonders , such
as mountains, beaches, rivers, and simply
beautiful landscapes. Perhaps most of all the
locals like visiting the Carpathian Mountains
region, especially in winter. It's considered to be
the Green Pearl of Ukraine.
Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. This place is a mix of
green areas, forests, meadows and humans
living in a harmony with nature. The largest and

course. Millions of tourists visit it every year to
see the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, the Dnipro River, St.
Sophia's Cathedral, the Mariyinsky Palace, the
Khreschatyk and other places of interest.
 The oldest church in the capital is St. Sophia's
Cathedral, which was built in 1037. For many
centuries it was an important cultural and political
center of Kievan Rus. It is highly recommended to
the visitors of Kiev to stroll along the ancient
street of Adriyivsky Uzvis which is now the home
to numerous art galleries, cafes and exhibits

the harmonious blend of landscape and
architecture. Although the city suffered from
destruction and rebuilding the old section has
preserved its unique charm.

Ukraine The small town Klevan in Rivno
