Best of the East
This venture into the less-frequented east begins with a quick jump north from Kyiv to
atmospheric
Chernihiv
, with its amazing Unesco-listed collection of monasteries and
cathedrals. Most make this a day trip from the capital but staying the night gives more
time to appreciate the wonderful collection of ancient church buildings.
Unless you're up for some slow and complicated train journeys, backtrack to the capit-
al and jump aboard an express train heading east - first stop the spa town of
Myrhorod
.
Gogol was born nearby, and the town and surrounding area feature in many of his tales.
Get off the beaten track in these parts by spending a couple of days on the Gogol Circuit,
which visits many sites associated with the author. Local guesthouses can put you up for
a few hryvnya.
