AUTOCAR TOUR TO THE EXCLUSION ZONE - CZARNOBYL via KIJÓW by night

In a little more than 30 years since the disaster, Chernobyl, Pripyat and even the entire Zona - today also known as the exclusion zone created after the nuclear power plant disaster - have become a monument to the irresponsibility of the authorities, a place of tragedy, a dead setting for many movies, books and computer games such as S.T.A.L.K.E.R, a mecca and a dream for lovers of abandoned places and urban exploration, and above all a grim tourist attraction....

A proposal for a 4-day bus tour from the conventional point of departure near Bydgoszcz to Ukraine to Chernobyl itself and back. Complementary and additional will be a one-day tour of Kiev. Both the tour of the zone and the city of Kyiv under the care and licensed guidance of one of the best local tour agencies in Kyiv. Implementation of the entire program of the tour under the care of a pilot and representative of the organizer. The formula of the tour, whose characteristic stopping places on the planned route are Kiev and Chernobyl, is an opportunity to take a short, well-organized tour on a fun bus, spend some social time and visit one of the most important places on the Dnieper River....      

BLACKWELL...

In the early morning hours of April 26, 1986, a sudden and uncontrolled power surge led to a reactor accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant - a town in the then Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. The resulting accident was an explosion that unleashed radiation a hundred times stronger than that at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as well as a gigantic cloud of radioactive contamination, the movement of which was observed throughout Europe, with traces detected even in Ireland.

Thirty years after the disaster, Chernobyl has become a kind of grim tourist attraction and a lesson in how much human lives can be cost by the complacency of power. It has also become home for some 140 people, called "samosels." Every day the place is visited by tourists, whose number reaches up to 900 a day on weekend days.

Chernobyl is not dangerous, taking proper precautions and obeying the rules imposed on visitors. By far the best way to effectively spend time in the Exclusion Zone is to take advantage of the offer of one of the numerous tourist offices that specialize in organizing trips to the zone. The choice of the office is not insignificant, as it is in Ukraine....   

FOR WHO?

Families, friends, acquaintances and strangers, but curious about what is on the map of Europe one of the so-called MUST SEE places and is located less than a day's drive beyond our eastern border. The tour is especially for those who remember the explosion of the power plant and the accompanying horror of the catastrophe, also for those who cannot remember it, but have learned the history and want to feel the atmosphere of that time up close, for lovers of abandoned places and urban exploration... A trip for adults only.
