BAKOTA: A PLACE OF POWER AND MYSTERY

One-day tour (4 hours)

 

Where time stands still and nature breathes peace...

We invite you on a journey to Bakota — a submerged village with over a thousand years of history, where an ancient monastery hides beneath the cliffs, and the Dniester River reveals its calmest horizons.

People come here not only for the views but for restoring inner peace.

Just one day — and memories that will last all summer.
