Where to go on May holidays?

When can you explore your country than on a long weekend? Stop lying on your bed! Pack your bags and get away from the bustling city. Leisure time in nature, beautiful landscapes and architecture, hospitality and local delicacies await you.

If you decide to turn out from the usual travel abroad for May holidays, we offer you a great alternative. Our selection of tourist places is attractive due to their budget cost and the possibility to plan your own tourist route.

Buka Canyon. To see a real canyon is enough to travel in Ukraine. On the border of Cherkassy and Vinnitsa regions, near the village of Buki is a delightful natural wonder. For locals, the rocky terrain of Buky Canyon and the river mouth of Gorny Tikich are nicknamed “little Switzerland”.

The indescribable beauty of the area is complemented by a waterfall and the ruins of an old mill. And on the way to Buka Canyon you can see a couple more interesting places. This trip on May holidays will pleasantly surprise you and give you unforgettable emotions. If you miss the European landscape, take a look at the village of Kovalevka - perfect roads, well-maintained houses, a park with a pond and a church. English Gothic awaits you in the Dakhovskys' estate in Leskovo in the form of an old castle.

Bakot Bay is located in the vicinity of Kamyanets-Podilskyi on the site of the flooded village of Bakota. Now it is a protected lake, shrouded by rocks, where the weather remains beautiful. The windless area is suitable for recreation for the whole family, including May holidays. We advise you to bring a cot and bask in the spring sunshine.

In addition to the picturesque area in Bakot Bay there are three springs, which are considered healing by the people: Northern, Southern and Southernmost. And in one of the rocks there are the remains of St. Michael's Rock Monastery, which you can visit if you wish.

The next natural wonder of Ukraine is Lake Lemuria, located in the Kherson region. On May holidays here you can kill two birds at the same time - to admire the pink water surface and to take a course of peloid therapy - mud treatment.

Lemurian Lake is recognized as one of the most healing lakes in our country. The water in the reservoir is a brine containing minerals and can get rid of many serious diseases. Sivash mud is also used for treatment at the resort. And another plus - the infrastructure around the Lemurian Lake allows you to relax with children, as the area is equipped with a playground and gazebos for recreation.

Optimistic cave. The world's longest natural gypsum tunnel awaits lovers of extreme recreation on May holidays. Optimistic Cave is located in Ternopil region, near the village Korolevka.

The cave was formed as a result of the action of underground water on gypsum plantations fourteen million years ago. Now this place attracts thousands of tourists and it is clear why. Vlabyrinths of the Optimistic Cave are clusters of transparent crystals that resemble snow drifts and smooth underground lakes.

Continuing to play with imagination, we move on to the next destination - Podgorecki Castle. According to legend, Count Rzewucki, the owner of the ancient structure, walled up his wife. Since then, the ghost of the deceased has been in the castle and wanders around his possessions.

If the history has not touched you, we advise you to plunge into the epoch of that time and be inspired by the grandeur of the building. Podgoretsky castle has preserved its architectural ensemble and there is a lot to see here. Besides, the castle is located in the village of Podgortsy in Lviv region, so on the way stop by for a tour to the city of coffee and chocolate - romantic Lviv. On May holidays there will be enough tourists, so it is better to book a hotel in advance.

And for residents of the capital, May holidays can be spent in the beautiful Alexandria Park. This is a great place for a vacation with family and friends.

Alexandria Park is located in the city of Bila Tserkva. Be prepared that the territory of green spaces is 200 hectares, so you will have to walk a lot. But if you get tired, you can always sit near water bodies and ponds, bringing a blanket with you.

In order to have time to walk around the park during the May holidays, make your own tourist route. One day will be enough to see all the indescribable sights of human creation.

If you're not ready to experiment, go to the places you're used to and relax!
