Myrhorod
Миргород
Half a day to one night is enough: see the 19th-century churches, the museum and the Davyd Guramishvili museum, then move on to Poltava or Kyiv.
Myrhorod is a small city in Poltava Oblast, on the Khorol River. Its main draws are a handful of 19th-century buildings, a local museum and a literary museum. Most travellers use it as a brief stop between Kyiv and Poltava or as a spa day at the Myrhorodkurort resort.
