Old
Orhei Vichi monastery
Just
an hours drive from Chisinau, Orhei is a monastery in the caves
built in 1675, church of St. Mary Cave cells in which monks
lived, remains of the fortress built by the Tatars (The Golden
Horde) in the 14-th century,a church of St. Mary, a house in
national style, a back yard with a small wine cellar, and an
exhibition of the local archeological finds (geto-dacian culture,tatar
culture,Moldovan medieval culture).
The
monastery is situated on the side of a steep gorge in a stunning
setting. Be aware that you will have to walk about 1km to reach
the caves, I am told that this is because you need to cleanse
your feet to God. Orhei is one of the most popular places to
visit in Moldova and well worth the walk on a dry day.

Milestii
Mici Wine Cellars
30
minutes from Chisinau Milestii Mici is the biggest wine cellar
in Moldova and is in the Guinness Book of Records for having
the biggest wine collection in the world. The impressions from
the surrounding landscapes, the splendid architectural ensemble
in the style of ancient feudal castles, the huge entrance into
the cellar – all these draws anyone's attention. The total
length of the galleries is more than 200 kilometers (55 kilometers
of which are used and explored).The
depth of the mines varies from 30 to 85 meters. The big barrels
are prepared from Crimean and Krasnodar oak. Their capacity
varies from 600 to 2000 dal.The galleries from Milestii Mici
can even be passed by car, but is much more interesting to make
a tour by foot along the streets which are named according to
some types of wines or grapes like Cabernet, Aligote or Feteasca.
