Finally I am in the big town! Kolomyya has about 60 thousands inhabitants and a rich history. I was walking about an hour from the bus station to my Oasis mini-hotel at the end of Tchekhov Street. Once my bacpack was stored I went to the picturesque center of the town to enjoy the charm of old, narrow streets and the real life of the local market, where dozens of babushkas sell home-made cream, egs and cheese. Kolomyya has city hall, new Greek Catholic Cathedral and two interesting museums. One of them is Pysanka Museum – pysanka, known also in Polish culture is an brightly painteg egg. They prepare it for the celebration of ghe Easter. In Pysanka museum (entry 25 hryvnia) the most beautiful eggs are on display – thousands of them!
And in front of the building there is probably the biggest pysanka of the world to be photographed by the tourists.
Second museum – also worth a visit is a museum of tgd Hutsul culture (entry costs 40 hryvnia). There are handicrafts, costumes, paintings and more. Enough for the full day!
