Wednesday, May 25, 2011 — Looking for a European escape? flydubai has announced the launch of operations to Ukraine with new flights to Kiev, Kharkov and Donetsk.
Starting this September, the launch of these flights will provide travellers with the perfect post-Eid travel destination to one of Europe's most picturesque countries.
From the breath-taking landscapes, the ski-worthy Carpathian Mountains and the beaches of Odessa, it's no wonder Ukraine occupies 8th place in the world in terms of the tourist numbers (reference: World Tourism Organisation). Whether you are looking to experience a unique destination, a sanctuary to relax in or a new culture to explore, Ukraine is the place for you.
Five reasons to book that flydubai flight to Ukraine:
- Ukraine has a distinctive culture and lifestyle that merges the customs and styles of East and the West. The art, architecture, cuisine and customs reflect the best of its Russian heritage. Ukraine is also heavily influenced by its western neighbours
- You can cruise through it - Visitors to Kiev can experience a slice of Ukraine by ship, taking a cruise on Dnieper River from the city all the way to the Black Sea coastline
- If you are a ski-bunny this is the place to be - the ski slopes of the Carpathian and Crimean Mountains are some of the best in the continent and recommended by skiing enthusiasts worldwide
- It has some of the nicest yet least-crowded beaches in Europe to unwind in
- The wonderful Ukrainian cuisine - sample the original Chicken Kiev or try out lesser known fare like the Golubtsi (cooked cabbage leaves stuffed with meat and rice, or fish or meat topped with mushrooms and cheese, and baked in small clay pots)
- Ukraine is a gateway to north, south, east and central Europe
