I forget the name of this disco, but it was in the middle of a park and it began with an "A". We had a great time there even though it was a Monday night. Plenty of dance partners!

Dress Code: Nice casual.

Do not miss the boat tour down the Southern Buh River and enjoy the scenery, forests, wooden lodges on the river banks.... Very nice

The boat will take you to the nice place to make a little picnic, have a coffee, take a stroll around, or try and climb the rocks like me (but be careful not to fall, I almost did)

Beware, there are many police checkpoints on Ukrainian roads so be sure to drive under the speed limit, because you may not be so lucky to see this guy and get to know a real policeman instead.
