I had a wonderful time at this beach back in 1997, where I spent a whole month. I received a free ticket to participate in the All-Ukrainian Olympiads in Ukrainian language, literature, and ethnology, which brought together talented children from all over Ukraine. It's a memory I hold dear in my heart.
