Ground excursion «Old Tatarka» from the company «Matei travel»

Due to the bustle and development of the metropolis, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find secluded corners that have retained their original look of the past era, but there is one area that certainly differs from others in its gloss and charm - Tatarka.

The area got its big name from the settlement of ethnic Tatars, mainly soap-makers and traders, who, hiding from imperial persecution, settled in the suburbs of the capital. Later, the Ukrainian intelligentsia came here, the cozy locality and the peace of the moderate life inspired people of creative professions. The outstanding artist Murashko, writer Paustovsky, engineer Paton and many other personalities lived here.

On the excursion, you will see the city from a different angle, instead of modern skyscrapers you will be greeted by cozy old palaces and estates of famous Kievites, instead of noise and wide streets there is such silence in which you can hear birdsong, and narrow winding roads and paths instead of everyday history.
