Crew tip
Kiev Perchersk Lavrawww.lavra.kiev.uaOne of Ukraine's world heritage sites. Descending into the caves is fascinatingand somewhat frightning. Be here early if you don't like to mingle with a crowd in darkand narrow spaces. Spend the rest of the day at the museums and churches. Margret, air purser
Kiev MetroImpressive Metro, in the same style as the Moscow Metro. Apparently these are some of the worlds deepest metro stations. Good idea to have your Cyrillic phrase book handy since no signs are in English or roman alphabet. Leonard
CCCPNear Great Patriotic War MemorialSoviet style restaurant with English menu. The staff are dressed in traditional costumes and they serve an interesting drink made out of smoked fruits. Samantha
