Tours to Truskavets

Truskavets stands among those Ukrainian resorts whose reputation extends well beyond the country's borders, attracting tourists from various nations seeking relaxation and treatment, all thanks to the unique "Naftusya" water.

Despite its distinctive composition and flavor, this natural water treats an incredibly diverse range of diseases. However, its therapeutic properties persist only for 15 minutes after surfacing. Therefore, treatment is possible only by purchasing a ticket and personally visiting the resort.

The cost of the trip varies, depending on the sanatorium's level and the room class you choose for your stay. For instance, budget-friendly two-star hotels offer standard double rooms for 20-35 USD per night.

At four-star resorts, the cheapest rooms start at 115 USD. This rate covers accommodation, three daily meals personalized by a nutritionist, and treatment.

It's essential to note that for the treatment to be effective, the tour should ideally last at least two weeks. Taking advantage of last-minute deals, especially at the beginning or end of the season, can help reduce costs. However, finding such deals during summer is notably challenging. Thus, it's advisable to plan and book your stay in advance, securing spots in sanatoriums for your preferred dates.
