Here is the plan . I will be in Dnepropetrovsk until 1st of August . The point is that i have to catch my flight on 3rd of August in Wroclaw to be back to Crete . I have plenty of choices to get there but i dont know which one is better .
1)Dnepropetrovsk-Lviv,Lviv-Wroclaw or Lviv-Krakow,Krakow-Wroclaw .

2)Dnepropetrovsk-Kiev,Kiev-Wroclaw or Kiev-Krakow,Krakow-Wroclaw.

3)Dnepropetrovsk-Kiev and then a flight Kiev-Krakow,Krakow-Wroclaw by train.

where i can find train schedules ?? and if you have any better suggestion i would love to hear it :)

Humm, I think that option 2) would be best since you would only need to change trains in Kiev:

Dnipropetrovsk 2246 - 0640 Kiev
Kiev 2043 - 2125 Wroclaw

Schedules are from the Thomas Cook European Rail Timetable. UZ timetables are here :arr: [ux]https://rail.shop/uz[/ux]
Trains from Kiev to Poland are included in the standard online schedule planners :arr: [u]https://rail.cc/en/search-interrail-route[/u] but might be tricky to find. Use the different options, such as direct trains only to find the train I mentioned - or enter the train number directly: 36108 :)

trip 2 will cost the most by far.
Note that in UKR (I have been to Dnipro twice-to Zaparizje once) it is often not a choice so much-but to take what they have. There are many more trains Dnj-Kyiv as onward to Lviv!
There are ALSO a daily nightbus Lviv-Krakow. Even cheaper is the thru bus (PL or UKR) Lviv-Przemysl (you sit while they do the extensive borderchecks) and still cheaper is the local marshrut Lviv (station forecourt-these other bsues leave from the Otogar=Avtobus voksal)-border )Shecheny or so)-go by foot over border(bypass all the smugglers-they know of it)-then Pl minibus to Przemysl. many TLK trains Prz-via krakow-Katowice to Wroclaw.
IF you stay longer time in Dnipro and IF you can master that old-style burocratic ticket selling sytem (find a friend to translate) then by far it is best to reserve advance for bed (choice of Kupey or platskart) all the way to Lviv and bus it from there-a through train/INTernational cost way, way more. Nor is it much more comfy-they wake you all night for all the checks.
