Khortytsya Island

Khortitsa Island
Ukraine, Zaporizhzhia
There is an opinion that the name Khortitsa came from the name of the ancient deity of the Eastern Slavs Khors, who personified the sun. Some researchers deduce the name of the island from the Turkic-Polovtsian word “orta”, which means middle, located in the middle (in our case, between two channels of the Dnieper). The name Khortytsya is popularly correlated with the Ukrainian word “hort” (borzoi dog): in the outlines of the island, if you wish, you can see the silhouette of a greyhound sprawled on the run. Local historians also say "Big Khortytsya", meaning that next to this island is Malaya Khortytsia (in other words, Bayda Island).

Very helpful for development
I went on an excursion to Khortitsa on May 9th. The weather let us down a little, but the impressions did not spoil! I advise everyone to visit at least once, it is very useful for development and knowledge of the past! The guide to the camp will tell how the Cossacks, hetmans lived, show household items and where the Cossacks lived, it is very interesting for both children and adults. In taverns you can eat real Cossack kulish - very tasty! It so happened that when we went to dinner, the Cossacks who live on Khortitsa and show different shows sat down with us, listened to their funny stories from life) In the afternoon they also watched the show of the Cossacks, they give all the best! It is a pity that it started to rain and the show could not be watched.→

Place for the soul
Hello! I went this year to about. Khortitsa, with his younger brother. To be honest, I didn’t really want to go, but my younger brother persuaded me. We got there by public transport. We got to the bridge, and then we had to walk again, which confused me. But when we approached the Zaporozhian Sich, I was simply breathtaking from what I saw. Insanely beautiful nature, fresh air. On the way we met a hedgehog, and birds that you will not see in a bustling city. Also along the way you can climb a hill from which a panorama of the city, the Dnieper hydroelectric station opens.→

One of the wonders of Ukraine
Khortytsia Island is the highlight of Zaporozhye. This place is worth a visit for everyone! From the island there is a view of the Dnieper hydroelectric power station, the wide Dnieper, and this beauty is emphasized by massive rapids and a rocky coast. We offer you to visit this excursion together with the travel agency "Rest for one hundred percent" You can book an excursion by phone (057.728-06-33, (067.329-17-62→

Zaporizhzhya Sich
And here I am on the island of Khortytsya in the Zaporizhzhya Sich. What immediately impressed me was nature, the air saturated with the aromas of herbs and flowers, the sun, in general, heaven on earth. A splendid panorama of the DneproHES opens… First we went to the museum. What is typical for this museum is that most of the exhibits are original, from archaeological excavations. A very well-read, professional tour guide worked with us. At first, when he talked about the era of the emergence of the Cossacks, a lot of reference information poured out on us, but when we were already approaching the exhibits from the life of the Cossacks, we involuntarily plunged into the times of that era, and this state did not leave until the end of the excursion.→
