Clients also visit the Soviet breakaway ‘non-country’ Transnistria. This ‘country’ the size of Hampshire, is not regonised by the EU or Moldova, yet it has a border and its own currency.
Transnistria declared its independence from Moldova in 1990, wishing to remain part of the Soviet Union. Moldova resisted this demand and military conflict broke out in 1992, Transnistra looked to Russia and Russian peacekeepers occupied Transnistra to keep the peace.
Today Transnistria is almost frozen in time and makes a very interesting visit. It’s also home to an outstanding Brandy distillary Kvint – whose Brandy has been called better than Cognac…. clients take a tour of this distillary and enjoy a tasting at the end. This tour is topped off with visiting some stunning monasteries and caves – where monks still live and a private guided walking tour of Chisinau, the Modovian captial.
