Ivano-Frankivsk (Russian – Ivano-Frankovsk) is regional center in western Ukraine. The first time the city was mentioned in 1662 when it received a Magdeburg right. The old name of the city is Stanislaviv (Staniskaviv – in Russian). Ivano-Frankivsk was built with an aim to protect people from Crimean Tatars’ raids – strong fortress of the Pototskyis – Polish landlords on Halych lands was constructed.
Ivano-Frankivsk lies in the Precarpathian plain where fast waters of the Nadvirnianska Bystrytsia and Solotvynska Bystrytsia join together. Ivano-Frankivsk is the regional center and one of the largest economic and cultural centers in the west of Ukraine. The city was a part of Poland, a part of Austro-Hungarian Empire, a part of West Ukrainian People’s Republic and now it belongs to Ukraine. The city has very rich history, which mostly makes interest for Ukrainians.
In 1962 the city Stanislaviv was renamed into Ivano-Frankovsk after a famous writer and public figure Ivan Franko.
In fact the city is located on the backward part of Ukraine where there’s no industry at all, even light industry is very rare. Agriculture predominates but it is bad paid. That is why residents of this area had to look for job in other parts of Ukraine, like Kiev or Odessa or work in Europe, mostly in Poland, Italy, Spain and Czech Republic.
Absence of good education in this area allows residents of Ivano-Frankivsk to find good job neither in rich parts of Ukraine nor in Europe. The city of Ivano-Frankivsk is known as the city of labor resources.
As you understand these features and circumstances make influence on travel business of Ivano-Frankivsk as well as apartments rental business, as the part of travel business. Ivano-Frankivsk residents offer rooms for rent, which are the part of their apartments. The example is loan lord has 2-rooms apartment in the city center and give not all apartment for rent but only one room for the apartment because in other room the loan lord living himself. This way the tourist gets clean and nice room but toilet, bathroom and kitchen should be shared with loan lord or other tourists who rent the other room if apartment is multi-rooms.
There is no necessity to book apartment in Ivano-Frankivsk in advance like Odessa apartments. Just simply arrive to bus station of Ivano-Frankivsk and you will find there many people offering rooms for daily rent.
Separate economy apartments for rent are not often but sometimes happen. Such terms as “luxury”, “deluxe” or “VIP” apartments are not acceptable in this area. The prices fro accommodations in Ivano-Frankivsk are few times cheaper in comparison with apartments in Odessa

Kerch is one of small resort centers of Ukraine, situated in Crimea. The town is very small with no industry and very slow trading. The population of the town is 150.000. The main business of Kerch is tourism as town is very old (it was founded about 2500 years ago). It is located on the Sea cost and has extremely rich and interesting history. Travel business is not so broadly and professionally developed like in Odessa Ukraine and services in Kerch are of low quality and high prices make this place not competable but anyway we suggest visiting this lovely place.
The easiest way to reach Kerch is to reach Simferopol first. There are bus and railway stations in Simferopol, which connect this place with the world.
Major sights of Kerch are: Ancient city Pantikapei (7th century BC. Excavations of antique settlements of Bosporus State. Pantikapaion or Pantikapei is the capital of Bosporus State), Yeni-Kale (18th century, Turkish fotress), Mitridat Mountain, Minings, Orthodox Cathedral (13th Century), fortress Kerch (19th century), Kerch catacombs. All these sights will enjoy you as all these objects mean great skills of the ancient architects, mode of life and culture, history of many nations, settled Kerch peninsula.

The population of Nikolaev is about 500.000 inhabitants. Russian language and Russian culture is broadly used while the population is mostly Ukrainians. Nikolaev is the capital of Nikolaev Region. There was very good dynamical growth of the city before revolution.
During Soviet times the city of Nikolaev was closed for publicity as there were based too many military factories in the city. There were manufactured Soviet military ships, military machine engineering. All population of the city was employed to work on military factories. The result of it residents of Nikolaev had traveling restrictions. There was not also spare entrance to Nikolaev city.
When Soviet Union collapsed and military factories stopped their existence the population of the city became unemployed. There were no other business solutions or alternatives to be employed fro residents of Nikolaev as the city became backward due to the fact that it was “restricted city” for many years.
For now Nikolaev is one of not significant seaports of Ukraine, shipyard, agriculture area. There are no sights, no entertainment complex, no other facilities which can be interesting for travelers. The city itself is multiple grey multi-stored buildings constructed during Soviet times and closed factories.
