The Ukraine

When you think about white sandy beaches and warm waters

, you would be guilty of thinking of the Mediterranean or Caribbean for your holiday. But why not try Yalta in the Ukraine?

Surrounded by former communist east European states on three sides, with the warm black sea on the fourth, Yalta sits on the tip of the Crimean peninsula, in the Ukraine. Famous for the meeting between Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt in the 2oth century cold war period, the city is steeped in history having been ruled by the Turkish, the Russians and the moors. You can even visit the famous fountain that the three leaders posed in front of after their historical treaties were discussed.

If you are looking for a romantic destination, then visit the swallow's nest, a stunning Disney style castle sitting atop rock formations on the coast lane. It's chocolate box picturesque.

In Odessa, you can see where parts of the film Battleship Potemkin were filmed, and walk along streets modelled on the Champs Elysee; idyllic parks and vistas lined with trees. Odessa suffered from years of neglect under the Russian empire, but has been restored to its original beauty to how it stands today. Visit where Tchaikovsky once resided, and see a really pretty city.

If you love history and are sick of the normal tourist traps in Europe, then take the time to visit the picturesque country Ukraine. Buy Cheap Travel Insurance online and save your pennies for trips and visits while you are there.
