Be careful,,, Nikolaev is now the scamming capital of Ukraine!
Hi, I'm in Nikolaev now. I took a car from Odessa. It took me 2.5 hours drive to Nikolaeve. It was $120 for the taxi. The city is OK, women are just wonderful. Visit Kazbek restaurant, that's one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. Expensive though. Don't take every girl there, only the one you like best. Don't stay in the hotels here they are just horrible. I rent an apartment in the centre. That's $60 a dya very nice. I have a local guy who helped me with all the accommodation and transportation. And I'm using his interpreting services. I'll PM his contacts.
use gotonikolaev.com - I know Dima the owner personally, one of the only few non-corrupt Ukraine men I know in Ukraine. He specializes in Nikolaev and has some pretty nice apartments there.
Its your choice on how to get there. I wish they'd repair their airport so it would be easier to get there. You can also add bus to Nikolaev as an option too.
Dima / Dmitri from gotonikolaev can give you better advice, been a while since I was in Nikolaev.
