  A travel guide to read before, during and after a trip to Ukraine, this book features comprehensive practical information, while revealing the country's personality through in-depth exploration of its history, culture and natural beauty. Traditional churches, monasteries and sacred sites provide a contrast to the notorious but compelling landmark of Chernobyl. Andrew Evans shows how Ukraine can easily be explored by rail, river cruise or sea ferry, and also on foot - the ideal way to take in the rustic villages of old-world Europe - with short walks and long-distance treks. The guide offers side trips into Moldova, Belarus and Eastern Europe, as well as a region-by-region guide to the Ukrainian provinces, including the stunning Crimean peninsula. It features detailed coverage of Kiev, the birthplace of Slavic civilization, and a cruising guide for Kiev, the Dnipr and the Black Sea. There is also a language section in Ukrainian and Russian.
