Holiday and travelling to Ukraine

 

Ukraine has been so far little-known country in terms of tourism. Trips to Ukraine were scheduled for Lviv or Chernobyl. There were also trips to Ukraine to places related to Poland's history, and additional trips to cities such as Stanisławów, Krzemieniec and Zhovkva, places famous for their castles and fortresses. There were also trips to Ukraine, place called Transcarpathia. But probably the most popular trips to Ukraine were short trips to Lviv for a weekend or to the Lviv Opera House. Fewer people went to magical Odessa, and practically  there were no trips to Ukraine, to its eastern part, to cities such as Dnieper, Zaporozhe or Kharkov.acute;w.

Ukraine tourist destinations

 

Spend your vacation in Ukraine and see unique attractions. 

Our first foreign trip we organized was a trip to Ukraine for the Euro 2012 final and we keep on arranging trips to Ukraine since 12 years.

We are the largest tour operator in Poland organizing trips to Ukraine, we specialized in trips to Chernobyl. We also visited Odessa, Uman, the missile launch site in Pervomaysk and, of course, Kiev. Before the covid, we organized about 30 trips to Ukraine per year.

We were specialists in the following segments: Ukraine 3-day trip and Ukraine 4-day trip.

Over the last 12 years, we have met many fantastic local guides from Ukraine, stayed in various hotels in Kiev, Odessa and Uman, as well as in a hotel in Pripyat. 

We visited many different restaurants during trips across Ukraine. In addition to our trips to Ukraine, we met many fantastic guests with whom we became friends and who travel with our travel agency all over the world. We brought a lot of experience and knowledge about Ukraine. These trips to Ukraine allowed us to see our eastern neighbor in different way.

Why Aliena Tours arrange trips to Ukraine ?

 

We travel only to safe places in Ukraine, far from conflict sites. We have experience in organizing trips to many unusual places that also have bad PR, so we can assess the real threat. We organized trips to Ukraine during the Maidan revolution. From 2014 to 2021, we organized the world's only New Year's Eve in Chernobyl. These years of experience and knowledge allow us to say that we are high-class specialists in trips to Ukraine.

We talked about Ukraine and trips to Ukraine in the programs of the three largest TV stations, the recording of our participation in the Good Morning Poland program, which was broadcast live, can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pX89vAOmxP4

We gave interviews for most commercial radio stations, either live directly from Ukraine itself or previously advertised interviews.

 In 2019, our travel agency had a stand during the largest Tourism Fair in our country - TT Warsaw. We invited the famous "diver from Chernobyl" - Alexei Ananenko. After the famous HBO series - Chernobyl, Alexei became a very famous person, approached by the world's most popular television stations, such as the BBC, with whom he was reluctant to date. We managed to invite him to Poland and interview him at the largest presentation that took place in Warsaw at the Palace of Culture and Art during the TT Warsaw tourist fair. Then, through us, he also gave an interview to the Polityka and Gazeta Wyborcza newspapers and to the popular Internet portal - Wirtualna Polska.
