Synopsis

Ukraine is the largest country in Europe. Evolving rapidly, the country offers visitors an unrivalled combination of old and new. Updated throughout, Ukraine highlights towns and villages well off the beaten track, and goes into greater depth than its competitors, with more detail on the history, culture and sights, and more entertaining reviews of hotels and restaurants. The practical information highlights how to get there by bus, rail and boat. The culture section features new writers of independent Ukraine and the history section has been updated to cover all the events that followed Yanukovych's election in 2010.

 

About this title

About the Author:

Andrew Evans first arrived in the Ukraine in 1994, and worked there for two years. His love for such a rapidly changing country kept him returning wearing many different hats – as a NATO analyst, a graduate student, political consultant, and finally as the author of Ukraine. Andrew now works as a freelance travel writer. He is also a regularly featured speaker on travel destinations at the Smithsonian Institution and has appeared on the Travel Channel. He is also the author of Iceland for which he won the 2008 Lowell Thomas Award.

 

Massimiliano Di Pasquale first travelled to the Ukraine in 2004 and has been back to explore the country many times since. Photographer, writer and journalist, Massimiliano writes regularly about Ukrainian culture and politics for many Italian magazines and newspapers. In 2007 he interviewed President Viktor Yushchenko for Italian geopolitical magazine east. In 2010 he published the photographic book In Ucraina. Immagini per un diario (In the Ukraine. Pictures for a diary), and  in May 2012 the travel book Ucraina terra di confine. Viaggi nell’Europa sconosciuta (Ukraine Borderland. Trips in unknown Europe). He has been a member of AISU (Italian Society of Ukrainian Studies) since 2008.
