The most beautiful places of Crimea:
1
Bird home
To come to the Crimea and not visit the Swallow's Nest, this is how to come to Rome and not see the Colosseum. So, you simply must visit this grand and mysterious attraction, which is located on a cliff peering above sea level. This ancient castle museum is located not in Yalta, but in a village called Gaspra, 20 km from Yalta. If you have the patience for all 1,200 steps, then you will have a magnificent view of the Black Sea.
Perhaps this is the most beautiful place in the Crimea. Indeed, it is not for nothing that he is most often depicted on souvenirs of the peninsula.

Livadia Palace
History lovers will certainly be interested in such a monument of architecture as the Livadia Palace is the former residence of Russian emperors of the XIX century. The name of the palace is consonant with the village of Livadia, where the Livadia Palace itself is located. This palace claims to be the most magnificent sight of Crimea. This chic palace is located just a few kilometers from Yalta. So take the camera in hand and go for new impressions.

Vorontsov Palace
Another masterpiece of 19th century architecture in Crimea is the famous palace of the Governor General of the Novorossiysk Territory Count M. S. Vorontsov. This castle is located in Alupka near Ai-Petri Mountain. On the territory of the Vorontsov Castle there is a park - a monument of landscape gardening art. The English style of this ancient and very beautiful castle is organically combined with the Neo-Moorish style. Do not forget that once Crimea belonged to the Ottoman Empire.

Simeiz. Mount Cat
If you don’t know where to start your journey through the Crimea, are tired of architecture and want to be alone with nature, be sure to come to Simeiz to look at the mountain called “Cat”. You will definitely recognize her as soon as you see her.
During the development of Simeiz, the image of Mount Cat was not at all associated with the cat's image. The legend was born in the XIX century, when tourists spotted in it a cat drinking water from the sea. But indeed, it seems.

Ghost Valley Demergee
And this place will charm you at first sight. In huge blocks of stone, everyone can see what they want. The main thing is to show a stormy imagination. This valley has an ancient legend about nomads trying to conquer the Crimean lands, but for the cruel treatment of local residents, the mountain itself punished them, turning them into stone statues.

The most fascinating and inaccessible place of Crimea is the sleeping volcano Karadag. If you are an extreme person, then you should definitely try to get at least to the foot of this volcano. If you do not succeed, then you can admire the volcano from the sea on a boat trip. Also at the foot of the volcano opened a museum of lost things. I think it will be interesting for you to look at them.

Inkerman Cave Monastery
There are holy places in Crimea. A trip to Inkerman cave monastery will help you to be alone with yourself and sort out your thoughts.
Holy Klimentovsky Monastery - (this is its correct name) - one of the most ancient Christian monasteries of Crimea. It was founded in the 8th century by Byzantine monks.
11
Khan's Palace in Bakhchisarai
There are no beaches, monasteries, or restaurants in Bakhchisarai. No, Bakhchisaray is not famous for this. In this city for many years there has been one of the most beautiful palaces of the Khanate kingdom. This is the only example of Crimean Tatar palace architecture in the world. The palace was built on the Churuk-Su river. The architectural style of the palace is fully executed in the traditions of Ottoman architecture of the 16-17th centuries.
Fans of the Turkish historical series "The Magnificent Century" will love it here.

Diving on Tarhankut
What, first of all, attracts tourists to the Crimea? Of course, this is the emerald water of the Black Sea and the underwater world. And, if you still firmly decided to go on vacation here, then you should definitely dive on Tarhankut. Indeed, without this, your vacation in Crimea will not be complete.
Cape Tarkhankut - the most western point of the Crimea. If you dive under water, you can fully enjoy the underwater landscapes: such as underwater grottoes, caves, sunken ships and the remains of Turkish fortresses. If you are lucky, you can even see ancient Greek amphorae and jugs at the bottom.

Fox bay
This place is very familiar and is very popular among "wild" tourists. This coast is almost uninhabited and receives several thousand nudists every year on its sands. The beach strip is not very wide, the coating is coarse gray sand. This place is "wild", but in the warmer months there are several portable shops and cafes. If you are tired of the bustle of the city, then here you are.

Cape Fiolent
Such landscapes as here, you will not see anywhere. It is not for nothing that Aivazovsky painted his paintings in the Crimea, because this is the land of unsurpassed beauty of nature and sea landscapes. A little far from Sevastopol, there is a Jasper beach with amazingly clear water and a mixture of pebbles and sand. The only minus of the paradise is 800 meters of steep steps, therefore it is better not to take children to this beach.

Tauric Chersonesos
We advise you to take a look at an excursion to Khersones, which for several centuries has been located in the reed bay in Sevastopol. After all, every tourist will be interested to touch the history and see the ruins of the ancient Greek city. And there is something to see: here are the remains of the temple, and the barracks with a chapel, and a residential quarter with city gates, and even crypts have been preserved.

Taraktash trail
This is the most beautiful trail that spreads from Ai-Petrinskaya Mountain to the southern coast of Crimea. It is unusual in that it is a real stone corridor created by nature. The rock forming it is called Tarakhtash, or “stone scallop” - in Turkic. Getting down on it is not difficult, convenient steps will help you with this. The walk itself, although it will take you a good 2.5-3 hours, but it will give you a lot of pleasure.

The largest safari park in Europe is also located in the Crimea. This safari park is located in the Belogorsky district of Crimea, on the banks of the Taigan reservoir.
