Famous people sharing about the Festival…
…It is nice to realize that the level of the Veselo Festival is on the constant rise.
Yet it preserves the atmosphere of a large scout camp. For those who have been
festival’s guests more than once, it doesn’t really matter which venue it will take
place at next time. As long as it is fun. But these people are actually the ones who
create heaps of fun around themselves…
Vladimir Zelenskiy, showman
…It is an excellent alternative to any family vacation. It is a chance to reinforce
relations within the family, between children and parents. Here, you don’t lie
around with a glass of wine bored to the bone; you participate actively in the
vibrant festival life, in the company of renowned people…
ВVasiliy Virastiuk, athlete, two-time holder of the World’s Strongest Man title
We really love Greece, we like everything about it! We even stayed for one
additional day. Today we’re going to taste some fish with Volodia Zelenskiy and
Valera Meladze, for some reason, it is particularly good here in Greece!
Overall, Veselo Festival is awesome! People are friendly and fun!))) We had a great
concert, a positive and kind one! We enjoyed every bit of it! Thank you for the
invitation! We hope to continue as the good friends of Kvartal!
Vladimir Presnyakov, a singer, composer, actor, and Natalia Podolskaya, a singer
The organizers came up with an excellent idea of combining active leisure with
an entertainment program, what could be better! My family and I visited the
festival twice; I enjoyed both working and resting there. We organized football
tournaments for children and adults, at which the finalists played in a super
match against the “all-star” team. We experienced tons of positive emotions and
unforgettable impressions! I wish Veselo Festival movement to welcome each
year more and more people willing to have a good time!
Aleksey Mikhailichenko, football player, Olympic champion
and Cup Winners’ Cup Holder
...I’d like to thank the organizers for inviting me to perform on the stage of an
ancient amphitheater on one of the most picturesque Greek islands – Rhodes.
Splendid atmosphere and grateful audience! I really enjoyed socializing with the
Ukrainians! My best wishes to the Festival!
Thomas Anders, singer, Modern Talking front man
... Veselo Festival is a genuine feast of music, sports and great mood. The
organizers managed to create an incredibly unforgettable atmosphere. The
event gave you the opportunity to hang out with friends, have a good time
and to simply rest from everyday worries!
Ani Lorak, singer
...I am often asked, “What’s your perfect vacation?” And it seems to me that
it’s easy to find an answer to that question by going to Veselo Festival at least
once! Dances in the morning, sports and games in the afternoon, concerts in the
evening, and other kinds of dances at night, and all that is in the company of
wonderful people and non-stop humor. I talked about the festival excitedly and
at great length to my friends; next time I am bringing them along, to prove that I
wasn’t giving them a say-so! I am excited and recommend everyone going to the
festival! :-)))
Vladislav Yama, dancer and choreographer
…Veselo is an amazing festival, a vivid, incredibly red hot and positive one.
Many thanks to all organizers for creating a great atmosphere of a holiday,
unforgettable vacation and entertainment! Potap and Nastia Duo will be happy
to go to the festival again, to make the event still more fun!
Potap, producer and Potap and Nastia Duo performer, director, showman
...I was invited to the festival in Emirates to give a solo concert, but alongside
that, I really enjoyed participating in multiple events and contests of this big-time
feast. For example, there was a surprise in store for the Karaoke contest winner
– together we performed a song at my concert. I wish to Veselo Festival new
successes and prosperity!...
Tina Karol, singer
...It’s a great festival! From morning to evening, the day is packed with all sorts
of events. People have what to choose from – whether it is sports, dancing, star
concerts or the disco! In a word, VESELO is FUN!...
Elka, singer
Our flight landed in Athens at 11 a.m. and instead of 3.5 hours, our trip to hotel
took around eight hours, as we stopped by in different villages, enjoyed the most
delicious food in national taverns, and drank Greek wine! And it felt so peaceful
and heartfelt…
My impressions of the festival are the best! But most memorable to me was
breakfast time when artists and festival guests mingled together. Everyone
is equal! People greet each other, say hello, smile, like one large amicable
company. On the whole, the atmosphere is very good and positive))). I heard
that great DJs work with you, so I am going to the night disco party. I hope the
impressions will be still brighter!
I wish good luck and many future successes to Veselo Festiva!
Valeriy Meladze, singer
Around me are great people! They realize that I am just like anyone else. I
eat, I sleep and I walk, like everybody! We live next door to the Ukrainians, we
socialize, discuss things. Everything is good, most importantly, people are kind
and open! In our turbulent time, if you ask me, “Do I like here at Veselo Festival?”
My answer will be, “I sure do! I like it a lot!” The spectators are superb, the
equipment is finely tuned, everything is organized on the highest level! Great job!
Keep it up!
Elena Vayenga, singer, songwriter, composer
It was all in high gear, loads of positive emotions. I really liked it! All Ukrainian
regions are represented in the festival, moreover, it welcomed foreigners who
had first 3-4 songs translated to them, and then they danced with the rest of the
crowd, because music is an international thing. Veselo Festival offers special
energy and drive. Good luck to everyone!
The TIK Band
...We had so much fun! It is especially delightful to see so many fellow
countrymen around, who speak your language and understand you at once. But
most importantly, everyone will find something to do at the festival – kids and
adults, parents and children rest and have fun together, feeling very comfortable
at the same time!..
The Boombox Band
...It was a superb, inspiring and vivid vacation that brought unforgettable
emotions, energy and strengths for new creative endeavors, new songs and
videos. In our life, it is crucial to move, to walk in sync with nature and the heart.
CITA created that exact kind of atmosphere for people. Active, rich, colorful
vacation, which, in its endless whirl of activities, games, contests, concerts, brings
sweet fatigue and happiness from life! Thank you! I wish organizers prosperity,
inspiration and success in all matters!
Gaitana, singer
…I am surprised and joyous each time. Excellent organization, grateful audience
– that’s what an artist needs. You always discover something new at the festival.
New countries, new friends, new sensations. Excellent vacation that everyone
should experience…
Sergey Pisarenko, showman, comedian actor
...For me, days spent at Veselo Festival are unforgettable…, because I felt not like
the “star” Irina Bilyk, but like an ordinary person, I sunbathed with my son, picked
pebbles, and swam in the sea! It seems to me that at the festival, people rejoice
at meeting one another, because everyone looks forward to the festival all year
long, and May holidays do not pass in a boring way in Kyiv, Odessa or Donetsk,
but at sea, under the sun, and in a merry company of favorite artists. Thanks go
to the festival for socializing opportunities and meeting new people!
Irina Bilyk, singer
Salute to all those inspired by the Greek Festival!
To express my impressions without unnecessary words, it suffices to say that upon
return, a Mandola Rosa has found its home on my bedside table. I look at it late
in the evening and smile recollecting the great time I’ve had, and when I wake up
I want to go back to Greek dawns again. It was awesome indeed!
It was awesome singing for you, a great effervescent audience. It was awesome
getting you acquainted with my twins and watching you examine each other.
It was awesome falling from laughter, looking at the festival diary – it was
convincing and funny! It was awesome living those short young may days with
you …
I do not know what the world rests upon, but I am confident that witty joyful
young guys and girls – just like the ones I’ve met this Greek spring – make it a
better place.
Thank you!
Diana Arbenina and Nochniye Snaipery Band
...I’ve never been to Greece, but I really wanted to visit the country! It was
interesting for me to meet the Greeks – they are great dreamers))) So many
myths and legends have come into existence here, that I call Greece the Land
of Dreamers! Veselo Festival is a great thing! Imagine: you can come, have rest
and go to a concert, which you can’t do in everyday life due to work or some
problems. And here, you come to the seaside, the sun shines, you see the content
faces of your countrymen around having fun non-stop! I think it’s superb!..
Jamala, singer
…I’ve visited the festival once, but really want to go again. Of all products
offered in the tourist market, objectively, I haven’t found an alternative. Good
organization and maximum involvement of tourists and guests…
Ekaterina Serebrianskaya, athlete, Olympic champion
We were invited to Veselo Festival in Bukovel and we felt at home here, because
the audience here knows and loves us! We’ve had a very interesting experience
performing on the same stage with Kvartal 95; the guys, just like our band,
appreciate genuine humor and are not afraid to joke about anything. We’ve
managed to combine useful things with pleasant things, that is, to perform and
rest all at once. Invite us again!
Dzidzio, musician, DZIDZIO Band lead singer
Veselo Festival is an incredible symbiosis of creativity and humor. I enjoyed
the time in the company of positive, light and kind-hearted people. Thank you
everyone for amazing emotions, it was great!
Natalia Mogilevskaya, singer, producer, People’s Artist of Ukraine
…The festival in Jordan became a real breakthrough in tourist relations of the two
countries. This was the first large-scale visit of Jordan by tourists from the entire
post-Soviet space.
Yuriy Feodoseyevich Malko, Ambassador Extraordinary & Plenipotentiary
of Ukraine in Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
…The experience of work with Veselo Festival opened up a totally different
approach to organizing tourist leisure. What the festival organizers do, no one
else does in Ukraine so far.
Valeriy Ivanovich Tsybukh, Ambassador Extraordinary & Plenipotentiary of Ukraine
in the Republic of Greece, 2005 - 2010.
…It is great honor and joy to be invited to Veselo Festival. Merry Christmas and
a Happy New Year to all those present here! Many thanks to organizers and
participants for an excellent feast that united all of us regardless of nationality or
place of residence. I sincerely wish you further success!

express sincere gratitude to the director and the team of CITA Travel Company
for the invitation and hospitality. My congratulations on the Victory day to all of
you; I wish you good mood at this remarkable feast – Veselo Festiva!
Vladimir Anatolyevich Shkurov, Ambassador Extraordinary & Plenipotentiary of
Ukraine in the Republic of Greeceе
...The organization of the festival in Turkey was above the highest of accolades. A
great place, an elaborate program, clear arrangements – all that facilitated the
establishing of the atmosphere of a true feast. It is obvious that CITA is one of the
best companies, a genuine leader in this segment of tourism. Thank you so much
