Castel Mimi is one of the most beautiful wineries in the world and Transnistria is a safe area where you must go if you are passionate tourists. Moldova Tours, which I warmly recommend, will facilitate this experience for you.

Ciekawe miejsca, choć na pewno trzeba powiedzieć, że było to zderzenie z nieco alternatywnym stanem umysłu, wszędzie czołgi, wojna i Lenin. Nie czuło się afirmacji wolności człowieka. Oprócz Lenina pomniki innych ludzi, którzy wyrządzili dużo krzywd Polakom, jak Katarzyna II i Suworow. Organizacyjnie trochę problemów z komunikacją po angielsku i brak neutralności ideologicznej, ale ogólnie w porządku.

We had a great day visiting Pridnestrovie (Transnistria) with Natalia! If you do one tour from Chișinău, I definitely recommend making it this one. Natalia was an excellent guide – incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and very helpful guiding us through exchanging currency and recommending an excellent lunch (the borscht was delicious!). Learned a lot and came back with great recommendations for the rest of our time in Chișinău, too.

A very interesting tour of a little known piece of Europe. Not everyone has heard of Transnistria and still less of Pridnestrovia. You can meet friendly people, get back home with some Soviet Union mementos, visit a medieval fortress and eat excellent borscht and pelmeni.
