2. Transnistria

This is a narrow strip of land between the Dniester river and the Ukrainian border that broke away from Moldova in 1990. As an unrecognised state, it’s somewhat stuck in time.

Old war monuments still remain, and you can take an old Soviet trolleybus to their capital city of Tiraspol.

5. Tipova Monastery

This stone church is one of the oldest cave monasteries in Eastern Europe. It dates back to the 11th century and you reach the religious areas by terrifying steps built into the rock face.

The view from the top however, makes it all worthwhile.
