Tours to the sea by bus from Ukraine

The beginning of the summer season is just around the corner and there are more and more opportunities to reboot from the realities of today. Therefore, today we will talk about tours to the sea by bus from Ukraine, where you can go to relax and improve your health

Albania

The Albanian coast is one of the top vacation destinations. However, there are no direct bus services between Ukraine and Albania yet. 

The cheapest plane tickets to Albania from Hungary are 23 euros and from Poland 40 euros. You can also get to Albania on your own by road: Chisinau - Romania - Bulgaria - Macedonia - Albania. It should be noted that you can fly from Warsaw to Albania only from July, as the charter program is set up in such a way that when there is a high demand, there are flights. From Lithuanian airports you can reach Poland, Sweden, Georgia, Latvia, Norway, Denmark, Latvia and other countries.

Italy

All roads lead to Rome, and it is possible to overcome these roads, as well as those leading to warm Italian resorts, by a direct bus trip from Ukraine.  
 

A route to Rome with a stopover at a European country's airport is the most cost- and time-efficient option. For example, a ticket for a flight from Suceava to Rome costs about 550 UAH.

Another budget option is to fly Chisinau - Rome. Tickets from the capital of Moldova to Rome cost from 780 UAH. By the way, it is convenient to go to Chisinau by bus from Odesa.  

Greece

As an alternative to direct charter flights, you can also choose a bus service. Yes, the travel time and travel conditions are difficult, but now it is the only relatively affordable way to get to Greece from Ukraine if you want to avoid transfers. Some propositions from INFOBUS:  
 

The cheapest way to fly to Greece now is from Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and Romania - prices start at 12 euros.

Montenegro

Montenegro is a fairly budget-friendly vacation option with warm sea, small towns, parks, and inexpensive accommodation. The most economical option is tickets to Montenegro with a stopover in Hungary or Poland. A ticket to Montenegro from Budapest, for example, costs from 15 euros, in the summer season - 40-60 euros.  
 

Luggage for the road

Traveling by bus is perhaps the most popular way of transportation for Ukrainians wishing to travel abroad. And while no one has any questions about luggage and hand luggage for an airplane, how much and what can you take with you on a bus is still relevant? What is considered hand luggage? And what about oversized luggage?

The rules for carrying hand luggage and baggage, including free baggage, are set by each individual carrier and this information is specified in the flight details. However, the general rules are already available on infobus.eu.  
 

Stopovers

You will face this in most cases when planning a trip. Flights to almost every foreign resort require a stopover. But we want to reassure you right away, because transfers are, firstly, a benefit, saving time and effort, and, secondly, a great chance to see several countries in one trip.

All about stopovers and their types in the INFOBUS service read in our blog on the website. If you have all your questions, anxieties, and worries sorted out, then hurry to the website or INFOBUS app for Android and iOS and buy tickets. Detailed instructions for using the service are at our service.

With love, INFOBUS!
