A small picturesque important industrial city in central Ukraine, south east of Kyiv that sits on the Dnieper River with a unique local feel. Go local and experience the true Ukraine through a small town rather than the hustle and bustle of Kyiv. The uniqueness of Kremenchuk is apparent before you even arrive in town, endless fields of sunflowers dominate the scenery as you approach the town. The oversized yellow and blue Kremenchuk sign greets you as you arrive. Kremenchuk is the economic center of the Poltava Oblast and one of the leading industrial centers of Ukraine.
