I was in this area last May (but not in Bukovina). In Kiev visit the Kiev-Pechersky Lavra. If possible visit Pochaev which is quite a ways west of Kiev. We also visited Chernigov with its monasteries along with other monasteries and convents and churches throughout central & western Ukraine which were all most wonderful.

Most of the churches in the Ukraine are with the MP, the others with the Metropolitan Filaret autocephalous group. The proportions I am told are about 70%-30% MP/Autocephalous but this could be different according to what areas of Ukraine you are in.

Wherever you go however if you are guided by someone pious & Orthodox you will have a wonderful pilgrimage in the many places you can pray in.
