Upon arrival to Uman from Odessa we will start our exploration from the Main Alley which is beautifully lined with chestnuts and lindens that go all the way to the Lower Pond. The so-called Rose Pavilion dominates at the Island of Love, which is located on the Upper Pond. The park's attractions were designed to be based on contrast and on swift changes of impression. We will also see The Valley of Giants - remarkable scenery design with its chaotic conglomeration of granite boulders, which looks as though giants themselves really built it.
A special place in Sofiyivka belongs to the Dead Lake, from where we can take a boat that floats into the Styx River – 224 meters underground river, a man-made canal going through the stone thickness without any artificial illumination. At the entrance to this grotto and on the bank of the pond there are white-marble statues of ancient gods and heroes as well as of real historical personages.
*** During Uman from Odessa tour you will have a possibility to try real famous Ukrainian cuisine with worldwide known village soup and barbecue in a national restaurant for as low as about 9 EUR or 10 US Dollars per person for the whole lunch and will be able to buy very cheap souvenirs from Uman Sofiyevka park to remind yourself of this unforgettable tour.
