No sense to fly to Kiev to get to Ochakov, it`s between Odessa and Nikolaev. Fly to Odessa and take either a taxi or a ninibus to Ochakov. If you need a guide or interpretor to meet you in Odessa feel free writing me on arminsarg@yahoo.com
flying into Odesa vs. Kyiv is anywhere from $200-400 more and much less choices. The good US airlines dont fly there(Odesa) nor does Air France or British Airways. I will not fly anything owned by a katsap and LOT Polish airlines suck bad. Im sure they use duct tape to hold the engines on the wings. I flew them twice several years ago and both times were disasters.
VIP bus is $60 from Kyiv to Odesa and takes 6 hours. They go 3 times per day.
Motor bike will only get you killed and maybe body is never returned home. Remember it is winter. Bad in a car, cant imagine a bike.
You can train it in about 7 hours. C2 ticket is 291 UAH.
There are cheap flights as well into Odesa on Pegasus airlines originating from Turkey. So if you use Istanbul as your gateway you might get a cheap ticket into Odesa.
Fly to Kiev, organise the Kiev to Odessa flight domestically. It goes twice daily. Take the bus or even a taxi to Nikolaev (do it online rather than at the airport).
Flights to Odessa are approximately $100. Taxi to Nikolaev about $80.
I would just suggest she meet you at Odessa and you catch the bus together to Nikolaev.

Sorry beemer, havent taken a bus in 2 years when the rate was 8 to 1. I looked it up just now(autolux http://autolux.ua/ua/schedule/) and its now 290UAH or a mere $11!!! cheap!!!
it is cheaper than driving my car!!!
I was in Odessa last month.
I took ticket from Georgia and booked the car from company http://naniko.com/car-rental-ukraine-odessa/
this way is more confortable, then taxi and other transport, This company have a lot of cars and low prices. I was satisfied.
