Crimea: Feel the Spirit of History!

Join us on this incredible journey through time, where you will learn about the multifaceted history and culture of this region. Dive into the world of majestic fortresses, amazing cave towns, ancient cities, and picturesque mountain landscapes. Did you know...

That Ukrainians have lived here since the 16th century
That Donbas is the homeland of the Soviet dissidents and creators of UNSO - Ukrainian People's Self-Defense
That Donbas is home to a constellation of contemporary poets, including poet Serhiy Zhadan (the most popular Ukrainian writer abroad), and charming Lyubov Yakimchuk, who was invited to perform in front of thousands at the official Grammy Awards ceremony, where she read the poem "Prayer" from her collection "Apricots of Donbas."
