Holidays to Moldova by Cox & Kings

The tiny nation of Moldova, sandwiched between Romania and Ukraine, is one of the least-visited countries in the world, but people are finally starting to give it the credit it's due. The capital, Chișinău, is
not a traditionally pretty European city, but its communist relics and friendly people more than compensate.

South of the capital is the breakaway republic of Transnistria, an idiosyncratic region that has retained a strong Soviet character and whose people hark back to the days of the USSR. The Cricova winery, located in a town of the same name, is home to the world’s largest wine cellar and offers a fascinating insight into Moldova’s long and impressive viticulture.
