Bradt Ukraine (Bradt Travel Guides) - Softcover
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

From the Back Cover:
Ukraine is something of an enigma for the visitor. The largest country in Europe, it remains one of the least visited, yet it has retained the rustic beauty of old-world eastern Europe, and its place names are heavy with historical significance: Kiev, Crimea, Sevastopol, Odessa, Chernobyl.
Meander south along the Dnepr River from the golden domes of Kiev to the Black Sea, or head west across expansive wheatfields to the mystical Carpathian Mountains. No matter where you go, author Andrew Evans combines comprehensive practical information with a personal understanding of the country and its people.
Inside you will find information on: Kiev: birthplace of Slavic civilization; getting around, including rail travel and a cruising guide; the Crimea; churches, monasteries, and sacred sites; short walks and long-distance treks; essential words and phrases in Ukrainian and Russian.
