Checklist: What You Should Definitely Bring with You

 

Even if you are going to a premium complex, there are things worth taking care of in advance so you do not overpay on site:

1. Sun protection (SPF 30+ or 50+): near the water, the sun “toasts” you without you noticing. In stores at the complexes, cream may cost 2–3 times more than in the city;

2. Your own towels: almost everywhere, towels are provided for a deposit (from 200 to 500 UAH) or for an additional fee. If you are in a rental car, throwing a couple of your own towels into the trunk is both hygienic and economical;

3. Rubber footwear (flip-flops): the tiles around the pools are slippery and sometimes even very hot;

4. Power bank: photos, videos, and music quickly drain your phone, and finding a free outlet near a lounge chair is usually not easy;

5. Headwear: a cap or a hat is essential if you plan to sunbathe during midday hours, when the sun is most active (from 12:00 to 16:00);

6. A change of clothes: so that after the pool it is pleasant to sit in a clean car interior.

 

How to Get There Conveniently

 

Many complexes are located outside the city or on its outskirts. You can get there by public transport, but sometimes you have to walk 10–20 minutes from the stop.

 

You can also call a taxi, but a round trip usually costs quite a lot.

 

For example:

-   a trip to Briukhovychi — approximately 300–400 UAH one way

-   to Novoiavorivsk — 600–700 UAH

 

That is why many guests choose to travel by car. This makes it easy to visit several locations and return to the city at any time.
