Yes. Been there loads of times. A mate of mine has a business in Kherson.I am sure that you will fly into Kiev. Pre-book a taxi or take a bus as the airport ones will take you for as much as you are prepared to give them. You have to spend at least a day or two in Kiev. It’s a beautiful city with even more beautiful women, the best in the world for certain and make sure you visit a night club called River Palace. Eat in the local restaurants as they are dirt cheap with excellent food and the beer is about 50p a pint. Take only light clothing with you and lots of factor 50 as it will be about 40 degree. There are two so called Irish pubs there if you get home sick at all. One of them is owned by a Brit. Just be careful with the police though particularly late at night. If you want to see corrupt policemen you will find them in Ukraine so make sure you carry a copy of your passport. Always ensure that you agree a fare with the taxi man before you get into the cab. You may find that some of the people are quite rude and abrupt in manner but overall they are quite a friendly nation.
I was in Odessa once about five years ago. It’s right on the black sea and a lovely city. Can’t remember much about it though. Took the train from Kiev station which runs overnight. It’s very cheap but buy a whole compartment for yourself where you can lock the door and have a good sleep safely. Don’t share with anyone as you may get beaten up and robbed by some skinheads with too much vodka down their throats. It’s happen a lot over there so watch you money and passport.Dont eat on the train as the food is poison. You can also take a flight there which takes a couple of hours.
Anyway I hope this help you a little. It’s a wonderful country and you will have an excellent time once you are on the ball . They accept US dollars widely. Enjoy
