Look at the map of the Crimea: the inner part of the peninsula takes the steppe, mountain ranges are concentrated in its southern part, and all this is surrounded by the sea on all sides. The many of the most beautiful places of Crimea are located on the coast, but a lot and such that lie aside from the tourist trail, and do not get there.

This wild peninsula, one of the most beautiful places of Crimea, is located in the western point and, probably, it will remain the place with which a person will never do anything. Just can not. It's too terrible with cliffs, its underwater caves are too deep.

It is so clean, that standing high on the break, you can consider stones at the bottom. But the most amazing spectacle will open from the sea: the huge through grots cut through the rocks through, caves are hidden during high arches, and the rocks are spinning in the most unthinkable figures. From time to time, the tireless surf and the wind fell a part of the rocky coast, and then in this beautiful place of Crimea there is a new rock of a fantastic look.

If this is not enough, and everything is already studied, then in this case we have an article "10 of the most unusual sights of Crimea", in which we advise to look.

The only one of its kind, the Bakhchisaray Palace is a unique example of the Crimean-Tatar architecture and every year attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists from all over the world. The huge territory of the palace is not only the Palace Complex itself, but also the mosque, gardens with fountains and museums: Art Museum, Museums of History and Culture of the Crimean Tatars and, of course, the main exposition of the museum, which includes not only the decoration of the palace, but also an impressive exhibition of cold Weapons.

There is a palace, as you can guess, in the city of Bakhchisarai, which is approximately 50 kilometers from Sevastopol and 30 kilometers from Simferopol. You can get to the city by car - from the nearest major cities, the road will take about an hour, but, for example, from Yalta or Evpatoria - one and a half hours, from Feodosia - two and a half. Except on the car, you can get to Bakhchisaraya from Sevastopol and Simferopol on buses, departing several times a day from the bus station, and by train. The Bakhchisaray Palace itself is easy to find in the city, it is located at: River Street, 133.

The time of work of the palace fluctuates depending on the time of year: in the winter period, the cash registers are open from 9 am to 5 pm, in the summer - from 9 am to 6 pm. A visit to the palace is only possible with a tour of a rather democratic price: 275 rubles for adults and about 150 rubles for students.


Swallow nest is one of the symbols of the Crimean Peninsula. This small, but so strongly resembling a knightly castle, the architectural monument is located right on the top of the rolling rock of Ai-Todor. Initially, the swallow the nest was wooden and only very remotely resembled a modern building. But periodic restorations and reconstructions after earthquakes and wars have done their own business, and now it's not to take the eyes from the swirl nest.

There is a restaurant and observation deck, no museums or exhibitions in a swallow nest. There is a "castle" in the south of the peninsula, approximately 15 kilometers from the city of Yalta. You can get by car or buses number 32 and №102. In addition, local travel agencies are offered to the sights on the water - on the boat or on the boat.


Ai-Petri is the highest mountain in the massif mountains located in the south of the peninsula, near the city of Yalta. Its height is 1231 meters. Actually, this figure speaks for itself - to the top to rise definitely - for the sake of air, for the sake of the mountains on one side and the sea on the other, for the sake of excellent nature. You can go up on foot, by car or on a cable car, which originates in the village of Mishor on the south coast.

In winter, except for walking and lifts to the mountain, you can also go skiing how many local people do. And in the summer there is the possibility of excursions even on horseback. In addition, on the way there are interesting caves and waterfalls, so that not to miss anything, perhaps it makes sense to take an excursion. On the other hand, "conquest" of Ai-Petri without a sightseeing group gives completely different, more rich impressions.

From Yalta to Mishor regularly run minibuses. Cost - 25 rubles, in the way about an hour.


One of the main attractions of the Crimea and the largest waterfall of the Peninsula of Peninsula-Su is 7 kilometers from Yalta, on one of the tourist trails to the mountain ah-Petri, which we wrote about.

Almost 100 meters, or rather 98 and a half - such is the height of the student. Powerful streams of water, seeking to break up the rocky rocks at the foot of the waterfall, do not leave anyone indifferent. One exception. In the most popular tourist season in the Crimea, that is, in summer, the waterfall dries up, and there is a chance that in the hot months you will not see the power, which will enjoy the delight of tourists and local residents. The most successful time to visit the student-su - rainy autumn and spring months or winter, when you can even catch the frozen waterfall, which, although it happens, is quite rare.

The nearest tourist to the student-sob trail is Tarakashkaya, it is the most picturesque of all. You can also get to the waterfall by transport: on the route taxi №30 from the bus station of Yalta and by car on the M18 highway.


The surroundings of the mountain Ai-Petri are rich not only on natural attractions and beaches, there are also somewhat curious architectural structures and museums. One of these attractions is Crimea - Vorontsov Palace, which is essentially a whole palace complex consisting of several structures and a wonderful well-kept park. He was still created by the beginning of the XIX century, and in 1990 he was assigned the status of a museum-reserve.

A lot of time to visit the Boronevsky Palace. If you want to walk around the territory and look at the palace outside - planning that it will take from a few hours, until half of the day. Well, if the visiting plan also includes the inspection of the Palace from the inside - on the same day, it is better not to plan anything else, the Museum-Reserve for various "Interests" is so rich. In addition, in the park at the palace there is a beach, which will allow you to combine the cultural program with rest on the sea.

There is a Vorontsov Palace in Alupka, which is not far from Yalta, on the southern coast of Crimea. From Yalta can be reached by route taxi №32, which stops in the city center, or No. 102, which departs from the bus station. Minibilities №107 and №115 are also suitable, they simply stop a little further - minutes of 15 minutes to the palace.

The Palace Museum works every day from 9 am to 17-17.30 pm. Cashs are closed at 16.15. In addition to the main exhibition, exhibitions receiving visitors are working on the territory of the museum, except Monday and Environment.

Tickets for each exhibition or exposition are sold separately and cost from 50 to 300 rubles per adult and from 25 to 150 rubles per child. There is no single ticket.


One of the most prominent artists of Russia is a lot of fans both in their homeland and around the world. The great marinist artist became famous for his life, and after his death and to the present day, the Glory of Aivazovsky is only grown.

In Feodosia, where the artist was born, they themselves opened an exhibition of paintings in his own house, which now wears the proud name "National Picture Gallery named after Ayvazovsky". It is not surprising that in it the largest number of Aivazovsky works, as well as not surprisingly, most of them were written in the Crimea.

Moreover, in the museum you can see not only the pictures themselves, but also the personal belongings of the artist. And the guys of the gallery will be happy to tell more about the work of the artist.

The museum is open all the days of the week, except for the medium, from 10 am to 5 pm. Casses are closed at 4 pm. Tuesday - a short day, so the gallery is open up to 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The price of a ticket with an excursion is 250 rubles for adults and 125 - for children. There is a museum of Aivazovsky near the railway station of the city of Feodosia, on Galleneina Street, 2.


The ancient Genoese Fortress Chamblock is located on the fortress grief in the city of Balaklava, who, in fact, is only a district of Sevastopol.

The fortress after its centuries-old history has not been preserved very well, or rather even to say, bad. But this does not reduce the interest of travelers who go from all over the Crimea to look at the historical monument of this scale.

Today, the Genoese Fortress is an open-air attraction, free and not fenced. Now it is carried out by restoration and restoration work, since quite recently, without that destroyed fortress suffered from a strong shower, which almost wrapped the main tower. But from a hill, which is located, the chamblock offers a beautiful view of the city and the Balaklava bay.

The rise begins with Nazukina's embankment. It is better to wear comfortable shoes and stock food and water. And at the top you can even arrange a picnic overlooking the sea, if, of course, the weather has.


The most western point of the city Sevastopol is called Cape Chersonese, which, unambiguous, takes the attention of the tourist. There is a lot of reasons for a lot: beautiful views of the sea, the same light, the rocky coast (although there is also a sandy beach), but the main reason is the ruins of the ancient Greek city. Agree, well, where else in Russia, you can see the ruins of the buildings of this ancient civilization?

Today, the cape has the status of the National Reserve called "Chersonese Tavrichesky". And pleases a variety of leisure types offered by the reserve administration. Whether the excursions come here for free every hour from 9:30 to 15:30. Or be it excavations, in which by prior arrangement, you can take part. Here are constantly the thematic exhibitions, and for children and adults, they read lectures and are generally engaged in scientific and educational work.

Chersonese Tavrician Reserve is open for visitors daily from 8:30 am to 6 pm. Cashier closes at 5 o'clock. You can get from the center of Sevastopol by bus number 22.


A huge mountain range called Ayu Dag, and in the people just "Bear Mountain" is located in the south of the Crimean Peninsula, sharing Greater Yalta and Greater Alushta. The height of the mountain is 577 meters above sea level, and from the coast of the far edge separates more than two kilometers, so be sure, a bearish mountain unnoticed for you and all visitors to Yalta will not remain.

Today it is a sign monument of the nature of the Crimean Peninsula, which also boasts the ruins of the medieval settlement. Archeology lovers will be satisfied.

Mountain ispriced by tourist trails and tracks, to bypass which in full in one day is simply impossible. There is a very diverse flora and fauna on ayu-dage, so delays due to wondrous plants are provided to you. Several species of animals and plants on the bears of the mountain are listed in the Red Book, so in order to behave respectfully towards nature. However, it is always worth doing it everywhere.

The entrance to the reserve is carried out through the checkpoint due to a sanatorium located here, but the entire fence is dug holes than tourists successfully and use.


The Karadag Natural Reserve is an amazing combination of unearthly landscapes, interesting history, complete legends and myths, rich vegetable and animal peace and long-dead volcano. It is located in the south-east of the Crimean Peninsula half an hour from Feodosia. There are hotels on the territory of the reserve, which is ideal for those who do not want to limit their visit to one day. And there are a lot of such travelers, because the common territory of the Karadag is almost three thousand hectares on sushi and the sea.

You can take a guide and start studying the reserve on foot. Moreover, if you ask, the guide will not refuse to show not only the most popular routes, but also reserved trails.

And many tourists choose another way of examining the Karadaga - from the sea. From pike perch, Feodosia and Koktebel, a boat and boats walk here, and the views on the coast are opening such that, without exaggeration, the spirit captures. Well, as a bonus - you will see Shaitan Cappa (golden gates) - a rock having the shape of the arches sticking out of the water. Sometimes the vessel even swim the arch through.
