Ukraine
Surrounded by seven other countries, including Russia and Poland, Ukraine has been influenced by them all to some degree, but retains its own charm and a wealth of historic sites to explore, particularly in its lovely capital city, Kiev. The coastline of the country follows the Black Sea through to the Crimean peninsula, filled withmore atmospheric resorts. A popular way to holiday in Ukraine is to cruise from Kiev to the Black Sea along the long Dnieper River.
