If you decide to rest on the Black Sea resort of Carolino-Bugaz, but you are not a citizen of Ukraine, who is not interested in the question of choosing a currency, then you just want to warn you that with the exchange of currency, things are not so easy. Therefore, take care of the reserves of the national Ukrainian currency should be in advance. Best of all, of course, it is still at home if your banks have Ukrainian hryvnias. It will save you from dual exchange.
If you do not have such an opportunity, it is preferable to take with you US dollars. I will explain why it is dollars, in this region a greater preference is given to dollars and, for example, when calculating accommodation, in the absence of hryvnia, you can pay them. There are no bank branches in the Carolino-Bugaz. The nearest currency exchange points are located in the village of Stroll, which are located at the address st. Primorskaya 102, ul. Primorskaya 20, ul. Primorskaya 114, ul. Primorskaya 89, ul. Pervomayskaya 75/70 and ul. Lenin 72, which I think in the light of the last events will soon renamet. In all departments of banks under the above addresses, take to the exchange of US dollars, euros, Russian rubles and Moldovan Lei. The operation time of exchange checks from 9.00 to 16.00, with a lunch break and weekends on Saturdays and Sundays.
As for calculations on plastic banking cards, it is practically few where they can be used, as the bulk of the outlets of this resort consists of small shops, cafes, stalls and markets. The nearest ATMs in which you can withdraw cash from the cards are also located in the village of Stroll and are located at ul. Primorskaya 20, ul. Azure 67 and in the product of the products and industrial market. Belong data ATMs PrivatBank. They work around the clock and give money in national currency, that is, in Ukrainian hryvnias.
Cards of Visa and MasterCard banking systems are accepted.
You can of course exchange money and local traders in the Carolino-Bugaz itself, but the course will not be beneficial for you, although it doesn't play a big role in small amounts, the main thing is not to get on any bedless scams that in the resort area sometimes happens. Therefore, changing money, outside the branches of banks, be careful and careful.
