Moldova

Moldova is one of the least-visited countries in Europe and one of the best for wine lovers: the cellars of Cricova and Mileștii Mici stretch for kilometres underground. There are also the cave monastery of Orheiul Vechi and a green, relaxed capital, Chișinău. Transnistria, in the east, is outside the control of the Moldovan government, and governments advise against travel there. Below is everything we have written about Moldova.
