Private tour operator "STAR SKY TRAVEL" offers wonderfull trip to 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.
