Wellcome to South Ukraine

By plane

Dear travellers, if you, staying in Ukraine, decided to fly to Chisinau (Kishinev), Moldova, you need see this picture. It is a map of flights from Chisinau (Kishinev), Moldova (was taken from airmoldova.md). There no any flights from Moldova to Ukraine. You may fly to Moldova from Europe, from Turkey, from Russia, but not from Ukraine. See another way.

By bus

Bus timetable (bus.com.ua) has alot of busses from any point of Ukraine to Moldova. All of them go via Odessa bus station. The distance from Odessa to Chisinau (Kishinev) is about 200 km. Regular bus will take you in about 6 (!) hours. Why? Because you will go through 2 borders: Ukraine-Transnistria (Pridnestrovie) and Transnistria (Pridnestrovie)-Moldova. Your charges will be: bus ticket from Odessa to Chisinau about 10-12$ and customs charges - about 20$.

By train

Train timetable (uz.gov.ua) has alot of trains to Chisinau (Kishinev), but they dont go via Odessa. They go by Mogilyov-Podolskiy (western Ukraine).

Maybe taxi?

If you dont want to depend on bus/train timetable and you value your time and nerves we can offer you taxi from Odessa to Chisinau (Kishinev). Our comfortable car with professional driver will take you Chisinau (Kishinev) in about 4 hours (including customs).

The distance from Odessa to Kherson more than 205 km. The road by taxi from Odessa Kherson will take about 3-3,5 hours. It depends on traffic, weather and problems on Nikolaev bridge. Our service will take you directly to your hotel or apartment in Kherson.

If you dont want to pay for taxi from Odessa to Kherson - take taxi to Odessa bus station. Bus Odessa-Kherson (or minibus - marshrutka) costs 50-60 grivnas.

If you have alot of luggage take the regular bus. It is slow but it has luggage spaces. Marshrutka (minibus) more fast, but usually it doesn’t have luggage space. You will kill alot of time, but you will arrive to Kherson after 6-7 hours. Bus or minibus will take you to Kherson bus station where you will take taxi to your hotel or apartment in Kherson.
