12 Months Zoo

The 12 months Zoo is located 37 kilometers from the center of Kiev in the village of Demidov. A new zoo opened in Demidov on May 16, 2015. It took 2 years to build the facility. Its owner loves animals very much, he used to buy them for his private collection, which eventually grew into an animal park. European zoos were taken as a model, in which animals are close to visitors, but are securely fenced. The main goal was to create such conditions that the zoo, and in particular the animals, were accessible and open to visitors all year round. This is where the name 12 months comes from. The territory of the zoo is 16 hectares of land, where about 100 animals live. The collection at 12 months is impressive. In the animal park, you can not only observe the behavior of animals, most of them can also be stroked and fed. For those who want to pamper their pets, you need to purchase food, which is sold in the trailer at the beginning of the path to the enclosures. There are also several species of birds (owls, peacocks, pelicans, etc.), rodents (capybaras and maras). This is a great place to relax with friends, children and the whole family. Here you can see many representatives of the animal world and feed them. #kyiv #ukraine #zoo

Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant

The construction of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant began in the 1970s. In the following years, more reactors were put into operation, including the fourth one in 1983, which later resulted in the disaster. There were supposed to be 6 reactors in total, but after the accident, further expansion of the power plant was stopped. The catastrophe took place during an experiment that was supposed to increase the safety of the power plant in an emergency. The test was to show how long, after a possible failure, the power plant would be able to produce energy for its own operation. The duration of the experiment was planned only for a minute. At around 1:24 am on April 26, 1986, the fourth block of the power plant exploded, completely destroying the reactor. Chernobyl is a trip unlike any other. It is not a beautiful, colorful or joyful place. This is not a place where you go smiling and full of excitement. A visit to Chernobyl is an experience you will never forget, but…. Go if you want to know more about this place. If you want to understand them better. If you want to pay tribute to those who died here, who lost their homes. #chernobyl #powerplant #disaster #ukraine #christmasgiveaway

Mysteriously interesting

Kiev is a cool place to visit that isn't normally on people's go to places. However it's still a capital that has some interesting sites, while still retaining vestiges of it's past. Like other former Soviet places, the city is reminded of this past with numerous buildings in this Brutalist and/or Stalinist style. There are also traces of the period before that as evidenced through the more European architecture you'll find in the city center and surrounding areas. It really marks for a grand capital. The city isn't awfully expansive so it's feasible #city o walk around and explore various neighborhoods. You'll find pretty blue churches, a cute (and cheap) funicular, as well as grand squares and avenues. Especially when visiting in early spring, the cloudy and gray weather adds an extra sense of mystery to the city that makes it all that more exciting to explore! #urban #City #travel #Kiev #Ukraine

My beautiful country Ukraine 🇺🇦 Odessa is a worthy place to visit for sure! #instagramworthydestinations #ukraine #odessa #awesomepic

Odessa Opera House has become a symbol of this Ukraine city. It offers both opera and ballet performances, as well as orchestra concerts. If in Odessa, you must pay a visit to the theatre. Moreover, it is located in the heart of the city with many parks, fountains, sculptures, and is very close to the seaside. The area looks stunning all year around. Summer or winter, you will definitely enjoy it. #ukraine #odessa #theatre #wintergetaway

Winter is the time to plan your summer trips in advance. Zatoka Waterpark would be a great destination. It is just a couple of hours away from Odessa (Ukraine) by bus or train. I went there last year and spent the whole day enjoying every single waterslide it has. Do not forget to take your family or friends. And sunscreen lotion, of course, haha. #summerdream #ukraine #wintergetaway #wintergetaway
