Selydove. Do the Small Towns of Donetsk Have a Future?

A Holiday in Any Season? Let's Go to Svaliava!

Svaliava is one of the most famous ski and balneological resorts in Ukraine, celebrated for its mineral springs "Poliana Kvasova", "Luzhanska", "Poliana Kupel" and other healing waters, similar in their properties to "Borjomi". To my taste they are tastier than the Caucasian ones, because they are more accessible.
