Ukraine

Even without traveling abroad, you can find the perfect destination for a couple's trip and learn something new about our homeland at the same time. So we have chosen 5 little-known locations where you will not be disturbed by crowds of tourists and you will fully enjoy your vacation and each other.

• Nevytskyi Castle, Transcarpathian region

The walls of the fortress were built in the thirteenth century. Over the hundreds of years, they have acquired numerous legends and tales, one of which concerns the mysterious name of the building. It is called Nevytskyi because in ancient times, during enemy attacks, the castle was guarded by young girls – "nevist".

The building is unique for Ukraine because its design resembles Irish bastions. Visiting this corner, you will get an unforgettable experience of the harmonious combination of nature's beauty and cold, impregnable stone building.

• National Dendrological Park "Sofiyivka", Cherkasy region

The park, which was built as proof of the nobleman Potockyi's passionate love for his wife, is already an ideal location for a romantic trip.

The project is based on Homer's poems The Iliad and The Odyssey. Its central part reflects stories from the mythology of ancient Greece and Rome. In addition to a walk in the park, we recommend taking a boat trip along the underground river Acheron, which is considered the longest and oldest artificial river in Europe.

• Bakota, Khmelnytskyi region

Once upon a time, there was a village on this site, but during the construction of the Novodnistrovska hydroelectric power plant, it went under water. Some people believe that Bakota is home to powerful energy that fills them with vitality.

Arrange a picnic for two at this location and enjoy the unique sunset. By the way, there is also a unique rock monastery here, so if you are thirsty for learning something new, we recommend visiting it.

• Botanical Garden of Chernivtsi National University, Chernivtsi

This park is more than 140 years old and is considered one of the oldest in all of Ukraine. The first tree planted on this territory was a white poplar, which still grows here today.

During a walk through the garden, you can admire thousands of species of various plants – from daffodils and tulips to magnolias and even cacti. This is a great place to relax from the bustle of the city and spend time together.

• Lavender field in Vasylivka, Odesa region

If you've ever dreamed of a romantic date in a lavender field in Provence, you can make your wish come true without having to travel abroad.

From mid-June to almost August, this field in the Odesa region turns into a blooming sea of pleasant purple hue. Several photo zones will make great photos for your family album. You can also take the lavender scent of summer with you by purchasing a small bouquet with a delicate aroma.
