ZATOKA
People, especially summer heat lovers, should go to Ukrainian seaside. One of the most popular places among Ukrainians (and not so well known among foreigners) is Zatoka (about 60 km away from Odessa), particularly during summer when the temperatures are really high and the Black Sea becomes really warm. Since the annexation of Crimea, it may seem to be a bit crowded but it is worth spending a few days there – just to get a feel for the “eastern” holiday. Zatoka is a great combination of the typical former Soviet resort mixed with modern holiday destination. You can book a luxury hotel there or just rent a cheap room from one of the people offering them at the station. On the main promenade, you can choose a fancy restaurant or goods from a local “babushka” selling home-made specialties. There, you can find a great market with fresh fruits, vegetables, and fish. When in the region, I also recommend taking a trip to Belgorod-Dniester, which has a great 14th-century fortress, and Szabo, a village known for its wine production.
