Autumn in Ukraine is a great time for travel. This is the moment when it is no longer hot, but it is not too early to get dark, and the light day allows you to get a lot done.
When summer comes to an end, you want to extend it and enjoy the hot rays of the sun and the atmosphere of lightness to the maximum. So why not break away from the usual situation and go to the sea – especially since many resorts in autumn have beautiful weather for a beach holiday.
Traveling to resorts in autumn is much more pleasant than in summer. If only because the number of tourists is noticeably decreasing (due to the beginning of the new school year), and tour operators offer more favorable prices for tickets.
Since Ukraine is located in a temperate climate zone, the climate is mild and the seasons change smoothly. This has become especially noticeable in recent years against the background of the general trend towards warming. Now early Ukrainian autumn can sometimes be indistinguishable from summer, and the temperature +20 for October is the norm.If summer is the best time to conquer mountain peaks, then an autumn tour to the Carpathians will bring not only moral satisfaction, but also full baskets of forest gifts. September is the time to pick blueberries and blackberries, as well as mushrooms. Porcini mushrooms appear in October, and in September you can find a lot of boletus and thistles.
