Cashpoints - "Bankomat" or - Банкомат 


Cashpoints can be found all over the city.
Some are only for people who bank at a particular bank - others take international credit and debit cards.
You will see the ones that you can use, because they have VISA or MasterCard stickers.
There are a number of foreign banks operating in Kiev, namely BNP and Raffaisen Bank.
The maximum amount you can take out varies from bank to bank.
For security some machines ask you first to check the machine and confirm it has not been tampered with before you enter your security code.
But anything up to 5,000 Hryvna (180 Euros) is possible in most cashpoints.
The cashpoints offer instructions in several languages (including English), and detect this when you insert your card.
The banks in Kyiv will charge a fee of about 1.50 EUR for using the machine.
Some machines give you your card back before the cash, some work the other way around.

Addicted to You (2002)  Ukrainian Pie   KYIV DESTINATION: Pie shops If you stand by St Sophia's cathedral in the upper city, you will notice a pink tower in a nearby street.  This is the 19th century fire station watch tower. Diagonally opposite the forestation is a restaurant called Штолле - or Stolle  http://stolle.com.ua/en/ .   This chain specialises in Ukrainian pies (Pirog). Pie is a very complex affair in Ukraine with a variety of vegetarian, meat, fish and fruit centres. Pie is a meal in itself. The fillings combine vegetables and meat and flavours. Examples include Cowberry pie, Rabbit and Mushrooms Pie, Herring Pie, Cherry Pie and Brocilli Pie, among others. Each pie is enormous and can feed a large family. In Stolle you can buy slices or a whole pie to eat in or take away. The store / restaurant is currently undergoing refurbishment ready for Eurovision! If you prefer something smaller than a Pirog, then you can try little pies, or Pi
Believe'n'Peace (1999)  Maltese Connections  EUROVISION COUNTRY: Malta KYIV DESTINATIONS: Maltese Restaurant Porto; Dog friendly cafes in Kyiv Unlike many other European cities, Kyiv can boast of it's own Maltese restaurant, called Porto  http://porto-rest.com/en/ , which provides excellent (if expensive - at €20 a person) fish and southern Mediterranean dishes. It has been completely renovated last year. Below we show the before on the left, and the after on the right. Porto is located very close to Olympiska metro station, a corner kick away from the main football stadium. All is not what it seems, however, as the chef/owner is Serbian! The same can be said of another "Maltese" institution in Ukraine: The Sovereign Order of Malta:  http://forbes.net.ua/nation/1400976-posol-maltijskogo-ordena-v-ukraine-nasha-tradiciya-so-dnya-osnovaniya-byt-s-temi-kto-stradaet-i-n   The Order of Malta is a government without a territory or political or econom
