Not only is Yalta an attractive city, it is steeped in a special brand of Ukrainian cultural history.  Playwright and author Anton Chekhov loved the Crimea climate and built a villa here in 1898.  He lived in the city for the last five years of his life.  Eugenia Travel has arranged a unique opportunity to bring two cultures together on this half-day tour.
     Your hosts await you ashore.  The people who live here are proud of their city and are pleased to share it with you.
     One of our local guides will conduct the excursion, buy you will be joined by the Yalta residents who have generously invited you into their homes today.  While they will refrain from interjecting too much, enjoy their personal anecdotes about their beloved city.
     After your walk, you will continue, in a small group, to the home of your host family.  Enjoy Ukrainian style tea as a guest in your new friend's home as you exchange ideas.  Ukraine has undergone remarkable changes in this decade and the conversation will be stimulating for all involved.
     Following your pleasant and interesting visit, it is time to bid farewell and return to the ship.
