Intriguing House with Chimeras
Across the road from the ordinary presidential administration offices in Kiev, Ukraine, stands a house that is spellbinding and very unusual. It quietly looms from its location on a hill in Bankovaya Street, and has been the source of many legends and folklores; some that are buried in grief and loss and others that make the hair on your neck stand up. The building itself has an air of mystery and uncertainty about it, and even though most visitors compare it to a castle, the house and its extraordinary decorations inspire visitors to conjure up their own tales of ghosts and goblins.
FeaturesVisit the Seven Wonders of Ukraine
In July 2007, the people of Ukraine were invited to vote for their seven favorite historical and cultural sites. These were then given the status of being the “Seven Wonders of Ukraine”. Ukraine is a country of diverse natural beauty, rich in culture and with a long, interesting history, so choosing only seven sites was no easy task.
NewsSuperb Wines of Ukraine
The beautiful country of Ukraine, with its fertile steppes and plateaus criss-crossed by numerous rivers, together with its temperate climate, is well suited for the cultivation of a variety of crops. The Mediterranean climate prevailing in the regions bordering the Black Sea is particularly suited to the growing of grapes, and it is here that many of the wines of Ukraine originate from. Key vine-growing regions include Crimea, Carpathian Ruthenia, Bessarabia, Kherson, Dnipropetrovsk and Odessa Oblasts.
