Lviv Excursion:
It would be hard to find a region in Ukraine that could compete with the Lviv region when it comes to the number and variety of places of interest: the Carpathian Mountains, Little Polissia, world-class balneo therapy spa resorts, dozens of ancient castles, unique cities and towns and, of course, Lviv itself - the true heart of the region.

On the northern edge lies the Olesko Castle - one of Ukraine’s most picturesque castles. The castle grounds house the Lviv Art Gallery. And to the east we find the 17th-century Pidhirtsi Castle, known as the Ukrainian Versailles for its beauty, nestles among the hills of the Voroniaky Uplands.
Zhovkva and Krehiv monastery Tour - Zhovkva is the only remain of Ukrainian example of Renaissance “ideal” city-citadel, the real pearl of national architecture heritage. Located just 12 km from Zhovkva a small village of Krehiv will amaze you by its wooden church with an interesting iconostasis and a wooden bell tower. 2 km to the south-east from the village there is the Vasylian Monastery first founded in 1618 near a mountain with a cave and later moved to its present location. After extensive works of renovation the monastery now shines again and radiates its splendour.
