Our Experiences: Moldova is a small ex-Soviet republic along the Dnieper river, between Romania and Ukraine, and one of the less visited countries in Europe. It´s the home of the world´s largest wine cellar, Milestii Mici . We went to this place expecting something big, but not what we´ve found . There were 200 km of underground tunnels stocking wine bottles. Yes, 200 km ! We drove our hired car, following a guide and we almost got lost in between the 2 million bottles. The country has cheap good wine, we must say. And good food as well.
Hotels we love and recommend: The Chisinau Radisson
