Secret Beach In Ukraine + Real Estate For 20K

If you are looking for a beach off the beaten path in Ukraine, especially during high season in Odesa, make sure you consider the Black Sea coast just outside of the city since there are so many interesting little towns along the way and some of them happen to have some great beaches that only the locals know about! Also if you are in the market for a very budget friendly summer home in a more quiet part of Ukraine, this might be the area for you with properties starting at $20,000. Hope you guys enjoy the video! xx

SafetyWing (best for younger travelers + digital nomads): safetywing.com?referenceID=alinamcleod&Ambassador
I use both of these companies depending on the destination and requirements of entry. If you are going to be abroad for a long time and/or don't need as much coverage, I would recommend SafetyWing. BUT you cannot purchase SafetyWing WHILE in Canada or USA. You can only purchase once already abroad. Hey Mondo is more expensive but offers a higher level of coverage including plans that have trip cancellation/interruption insurance. Hey Mondo would be the better insurance to use if you need travel medical insurance when applying for a visa. Both companies cover covid. I am an affiliate for both companies, but I pay for my own policies.

Watching this blog at this difficult time, was showing my husband how beautiful Ukraine is. Tourism is starting to boom and Odessa beaches are beautiful and so peaceful, unlike our beaches here in US, always overcrowded and so expensive to visit. Much love and prayers from Atlanta, Ga.

[@swedishhboyy]

I am in Odessa and just went there today thanks to this video :) We were the only ones and the weather wasn't great for swimming but it was still SO beautiful! Thank you for this!

[@AlinaMcleod]

That’s wonderful! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@Reporterfy]

We all appreciate the effort that goes into these videos. Thanks Alina

[@AlinaMcleod]

Thank you, Alex!

[@gabriellagirardi4741]

Really beautiful video. Odessa is a wonderful sea resort city on the Black Sea. Ukraine has a lot to offer for tourism and its surroundings must be amazing, too. Thanks a lot

[@ronalbright1964]

Hi Alena, great videos, I am happy you are traveling again. I am an American living in Odessa, and I love this wild beach. It is very inexpensive it is to rent a summer home (dacha) by the day or week. It is so nice to go to a beach without all the commercialism that you find at Odessa's beaches.

[@pradeepsao4951]

GOD BLESS MY FAVOURITE TRAVEL KZbinR AND HER COUSIN!

[@gediminasmurauskas7817]

Hi Alina! Thanks for sharing the beautiful Ukrainian Black Sea coast with us, with your cousin Misha! Here we have other similarities between Ukraine and Lithuania. Increasingly Lithuanian urban dwellers, especially those in Vilnius and Kaunas, have acquired and continue to acquire apartments in or near Klaipėda and/or summer homes along the Baltic Sea coast in and around Palanga or along the Curonian Spit. The advantage of Black Sea coastal properties is that summer lasts longer. The Baltic Sea is cooler, and the summer season effectively ends by the end of August. I'm loving your journey home to family in Ukraine!!!

[@AlinaMcleod]

Yes, I think Ukraine and Lithuania have a lot of similarities. Very excited to visit there sometime!

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

Nice secret beach in Ukraine! Such an excellent job, Alina!❤️❤️

[@darellnewsome4459]

Man I really loved this. This is exactly what I was hoping to see. It's great to see you with your cousin. Looking forward to your next upcoming videos from Ukraine!

[@vdhazer]

Very small, but lovely beach. It's not crowded and very clean. Love the place. ❤️

[@costasworldofmusicmemories5792]

My wife was a exchange student from the US and lived in a town just outside Odesa and has fond memories of fun time on the Black Sea. Harriet and I would like to revisit when we can travel again. You so fortunate to have Misha as your cousin and editor. Enjoy your time together. Be well. From your biggest fans from Richmond, Va. Harriet and Jim

[@AlinaMcleod]

That's wonderful :) Thank you

[@ashmax28]

I love the content you bring here. peaceful, adventurous and calming to the soul.

[@gkschick6804]

Great video once again. Nice to see the environs outside of Odessa. Good of you to take Misha under your wing and provide him with some exposure via your channel. His good grasp of English will serve him well and I hope he is able to build on his editing and videography business. Who knows, perhaps he would be interested in developing a channel of his own some day! Whatever he ends up doing, he seems like a nice young man and I wish him well.

[@AlinaMcleod]

Thank you! He is really talented and destined for great things I'm sure. He does actually have a KZbin channel he just started but it's in Russian: kzbin.info/door/NsRog9gUy06DldJFnYCCIQ

Hi Alina & Misha, The video is very nice to see especially a drone shot. Misha seems to be a perfect photographer. Thanks for showing remote places of lovely Ukraine 🇺🇦. It would be better if you shown the apartment from the inside.

Alina ! Thanks enjoy your video ! Your photo ! Comparable to your flowers photo shots ! Beautiful ! To the point !

[@MitosVC]

As a smooth transition from the previous video to this one, there will be my gastronomic suspicion, which is that once again looking at those not the most dangerous jellyfish, I seem I'm beginning to understand who we drew inspiration from when creating such a specific dish as kholodets with horseradish/mustard, You know 😅 I can also guess where you got inspiration from in some amazing slow-motion scenes and it turned out so atmospheric ✨ But your atmosphere is much more relaxing and it gives additional originality to it 🌿💙 Cool episode! I was very glad to hear that the eastern tour will cover one of my most favorite creative duets. Looking forward to your next adventures and highlights, Alisha & Misha! 👏🏻

[@franciscoespiritu9020]

I miss the place like this, free of covid , the locals are relaxed , free to roam around, great place to live...

Such a beautiful city, beach area. The water was so perfect. Amazing video. Thanks and be safe in your travels. This is the second video of yours I have watched. In both videos, there was a little kitten in each one. If I lived there I would bring some of the kitties home and take care of them.

[@AllanK1]

Hello Alina and Misha... The tour is amazing. That beach and water is pristine and you got the beach all to yourselves. The drone shots really captures the area beautifully and did you operate the drone?

[@AlinaMcleod]

Yes, we flew the drone ourselves!

How long did it take a prairie girl from Saskatchewan to refer to a community with 7,000 people as a small town? When we refer to a place with more than 1000 people as a big town. Nice quiet local compared to Odesa. Green was working for you. Enjoyed the relaxed beach community.

[@AlinaMcleod]

haha that is very true. This place is huge compared to my 800 person town of Kinistino!

[@keithng2517]

Sask. has a low threshold for cities just 5k. Compared to Ontario, it took the town of Markham to become a city at 300k which is the size of Saskatoon.

I would always see those blobs on the beach in California. Didn't realize they were jellyfish. I used to poke them to see what they were; surprisingly firm. Never have got stung either. So amazed by the prices of homes in Ukraine and other areas of former USSR.

Hi Alina! I spent time there about 5 years ago. Don't tell too many people about this secret place. Part of the draw for me was that there were no other foreigners there...just me! Ha ha, I know it's selfish, but true. Nice video. I'm in Kyiv now, and I've been here for about 5 years. If you ever want to interview me or anything for your channel, I'd be more than happy. Keep up the great work! :)

Thank You. We just discovered your videos - Chernobyl video was first. Such a sad & tragic history. The second was the former Soviet Air Base. Great history Well done. You capture the 'base essence of the real local environs' very well. Great job. We make films so we use a lot of "cultural, geographical, and historical data" for accurate presentations and portrayals. Your videos are useful. Years ago we did a documentary on medieval Ukraine {Kievan Rus} very interesting. You are a great guide and teacher. SAFE TRAVELS - Peace & Health. {you should act - great energy and presentation}.

@Alina Mcleod Is driving that 25km really 2 hours or was it because the bus stopped and started? We want to move to Odesa Ukraine area and live rural but very worried about the time it takes to get into the city. Is one direction faster than the other? (east/West/north?) I'm really interested in yehorivka.
