Super holiday
Just returned with my wife from Mukachevo. We traveled by car, as train tickets from Kyiv were sold out a month before. Before the trip, I found on the Internet the phone number of Oksana and Desider, guides in Transcarpathia, spouses, and also part-time owners of the private estate "At Matvey". We discussed with Oksana a plan of excursions for 3 days, in addition, she advised several hotels, since their accommodation was already occupied. We stopped at the Dolphin Hotel, which is located in the city center right on the banks of the Latoritsa River. Hotel booking is made by transferring payment for 1 day of accommodation (250 UAH for a double room) through "Aval-Express" in the name of the hostess Larisa Ivanovna. Booking excursions - payment for 1 day on Oksana's Privatbank card.
We left on the night of March 8th. The road took 11 hours in connection with the repair of the Zhytomyr highway and also with the replacement of a punctured wheel in the mountains of the Lviv region. (I fell into a hole and bent the disk). In general, at 7 am already settled in the hotel without any problems. The room is huge. In addition to the double bed, there is a sofa that can also accommodate 2 people. The hotel is clean, the staff is very friendly. Coffee is brewed at any time of the day. Secure car parking 30 meters from the hotel. Price per day - 7 hryvnia
At 10.30 Oksana drove up to the hotel for us. We saw the Palanok castle, the Sherburn hunting lodge and the St. Mikló s Castle. In addition, we went to the mineral spring. A special impression is the nursery of wild boars. Lunch at the restaurant "Jockey", which is next to the hunting castle can not be compared with anything. The kitchen is terrible, the toilets do not work, the wait is long, the service is unobtrusive.
Dinner at the restaurant "Pervak" with Transcarpathian cuisine was much more impressive.
The second day we went with Desider to Berehove. We bought in the thermal pool (I recommend it to everyone), visited the local museum (well, not impressed) and went for a wine tasting in the private cellar of Gyorgy Paraska in the village. Bene. This is where you need to go. The owner himself is unique, besides, the wine is excellent : ) You can buy wine: from 30 to 50 UAH. per bottle 0.7. Yes, the real Hungarian cuisine is better to taste in the restaurant "Family". Delicious crazy.
The third day Desider organized a trip to Volovets. In his mountain estate, he has ski equipment for every taste and size. Since skiing is not our thing, we just climbed the mountain on the lift, took pictures, drank mulled wine and went to the Shepit waterfall. Special impression - ecotaxi. Ten minutes to ride in a sleigh pulled by horses.
The tour ended with a bathhouse and swimming in the snow at the beekeeper Ivan in a mountain village.
In general, we had an amazing rest, thanks to good guides.
Now more details about prices and contacts.
