Ukraine's chequered history has seen its people weather occupation, corruption and financial paralysis, the Orange Revolution has been the catalyst for a renaissance
Nestled between its Eastern European neighbours and Russia, Ukraine is the second largest nation in Europe. But while self-determination may have brought fresh opportunities and a burgeoning elite, for the most part this is still a land of poverty and pastoral beauty.
The abundant forests and fertile plains dotted with goats and haystacks make it a walker’s dream. That’s not forgetting the dramatic Carpathian Mountains, still inhabited by wolves and bears.
The Ukrainians are troopers (grannies wielding pickaxes are not uncommon) and they know how to have a good time – a knees up involves folk dancing, stories and songs washed down with plenty of vodka.
All this, combined with handsome architecture and outlandish supernatural beliefs (who knew that rivers are full of evil water nymphs?), makes for a truly compelling destination.
If you’re going in winter take extra warm clothes and waterproof insulated boots for the slippery pavements.
