Ukraine Venice
Click here to see Vilkovo photos!

Kyiv Travel Company offers you wonderful trip "Ukraine Venice".
Vilkovo, a small settlement with a population of 11,500, is commonly referred to as a “Ukrainian Venice,” since almost all of its territory is covered with water channels. The reason is simple: Vilkovo (Slavic for “a Fork”) is situated right at the spot where the Danube flows into the Black sea, splitting into three branches. Yet when you see the picturesque banks, covered with bushes and shaggy houses, you barely think about its Venetian namesake, but to the contrary, Vilkovo more resembles a Vietnamese settlement or a village on a marsh. The citizens of Vilkovo can save on cars and gas, since almost all transportation is possible by boats that float along the two main channels, Belgorodskiy and Gorkogo, and numerous tiny ones. The water from the channels is used for washing dishes, cooking, and fishing all at the same time. Besides, I was told by one of the village dwellers that Vilkovo produces the tastiest salt herring in Ukraine. Except for herring and other fish, Vilkovo is a real paradise for all kinds of birds – 265 different species. For comparison, there are 382 species in all of Ukraine. Near Vilkovo you can also visit Izmail fortress, which is closely connected to the military history of the Russian Empire through the storming of Izmail conducted by the Marshal Alexander Suvorov during the Russian-Turkish War in the 18th century.
