[town.php] Welcome to Poltava land - the land of songs and legends, land of writers and artists, thinkers and scientists, whose names are in the treasury of the world wisdom. You will see the God blessed places. It's worth listening and you will hear the whispering of the monks behind the walls of the "Resurrection of Christ" monastery who are saying the extraterrestrial players. In the serenity of Ivan-Mount one could guess the immortal voice of Ivan Kotlyarevsky. It's only here that Panas Mirniy's estate house will echo the unhurried steps of its owner and placid waters of the river Psiol will mirror the ironic and melancholy smile of Gogol. If you are lucky the age-old oak-threes will tell you the story of the secret love of the young Motrya Kochubey of the ageing Mazepa, the hetman of Ukraine. And the redoubts of eath of Poltava battle will tell you heroic stories about those past glorious times. In our hospitable land there is always a bed for you in a tourist hotel, in a private house or in refined apartments. Come to us and we will have you to an appetizing Ukrainian "borsch" and dumplings cooked in clay earthenware made by Ukrainian potters in Oposhnia as well as we take you on pure-breed fast horses to the Scythian time reserve. And if you a fisherman or a hunter then our rivers, forests and fields will lavishly endow you with their riches. Our green-eyed Poltava land as if is purposely created for green tourism and for you. slkmiist.poltava.ua © 2006
