Each corner of Moldova has its own unique identity. In the south, you can find the Găgăuz, a lively people with their own
culture, history, traditions, and of course, delicious cuisine. Travel just an hour from Chisinau in another direction and
you will discover just how diverse our small country can be. If you cross the Dniester River to its left bank, you will find
Transnistria, a territory where time has stood still. Visiting Transnistria can feel like you’ve traveled back to the USSR.
Or, if you want to meet our Roma minority, then your way lies to the north of Moldova, to Soroca. The outskirts of the city
might leave you with ambiguous feelings, but you will never forget this colorful trip and how you got to know such a unique
group of people. And, of course, who could forget the mighty Codrii forests in the heart of the country. But if you do one
thing when you come to see us, you should go to see the unique historical complex of Old Orhei. Seeing the cave monasteries
and the ancient hermitage is a MUST. No visit to Moldova is complete without a trip to this picturesque valley, echoing with
stories stretching back millennia.
