Map Golden ring Crimea, circular routes by car and bus on the highway, on off-road technician on dirt roads
placed at the bottom of this review.
We recommend the first journey to the "world in miniature" on a circular route the Golden Ring of Crimea and we advise you a mandatory long stop in Alupka.

Most of the Crimean attractions are located in the southwest, on the ring Simferopol - Bakhchisarai - Inkerman - Sevastopol - Balaclava - Laspi - Simeiz - Alupor - Mishahhor - Yalta - Gurzuf - Partenit - Alushta - Angarsk Pass - Salgir Valley - Simferopol. Overview The Golden Ring of Crimea from any of this point can be driving for 1 day! Of course you can drive in any direction. But we advise the first trip so that you are early to be in Alupka. You can return to your place of residence in the dark.

At night, the Trolleybus Route of Yalta is also suitable - Alushta - Simferopol. But in the day after the season it will have to abandon it - too loaded. Highway Simferopol - Bakhchisaray - Sevastopol suitable at any time of the day. But the species points on it are a bit. The highest density of attractions is still in the southwest of the Crimea.

Map of a circular road route "Golden Ring of Crimea" - the main route on the highway (red dots), routes for mountain bikes, and motorized off-road equipment (blue dots).

Separately, we will overcome and routes for off-road techniques (ranging from a mountain bike and ending with expedition jeeps). But unlike the Golden Ring of the Crimea on the car on the highway for one day, the route will not pass. However, you can meet the day, if part of the route with a bicycle at the beginning or end to spend in the train, trolleybus or agree on auto-slack.

All our routes are also available for transportation on public transport. Again, in this case, the Light Day with the Golden Ring of the Crimea will not manage. It will be necessary or split it on loop-like routes to return to the base point, or spend the night in one of the ring points. Directly on the bus station is always the clocks of the apartment bureau. Cheap hotels The hostel type is working directly on bus stations, for example in Yalta.

Travelers are now worried about many reasons: currency rates grow, prices are also, and flights to many countries are canceled. What to do? There is a way out - and this is the Crimea. Someone who has already been to the Crimea, from year to year returns to the loved place, well, and someone is just preparing to discover all the beauty of recreation on the popularity of the Peninsula.

To facilitate the task of those who go there for the first time, and maybe just decides to update old memories, we wrote this article in which you will find all useful information About the most popular attractions of Crimea. 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 reach the city by car from the nearest large 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 much resembling knight's castleThe architectural monument is located right on the top of the I-Todor sheer cliff. 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 - the most high mountain In the massif mountains located in the south of the peninsula, close to 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 on foot, by car or on a cable car that originates in the village of Mashor on southern 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 possibility that in the hot months you will not see the power, which will enrades the enthusia 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 - the landmark under open sky, Free and not fenced. Now there are rehabilitative and restoration work here, since quite recently, without that destroyed fortress suffered from a strong shower, which almost wrapped 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 are a lot of reasons for a lot: beautiful views of the sea, the Lighthouse, the Rocky Coast (although sand beach There is also a), but the main reason is the ruins of 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 status national Reserve Under the name "Chersonese Tauride". 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.

Huge mountain array called Ayu Dag, and the people just "Bear Mountain" is located in the south of the Crimean Peninsula, divided Large Yalta and Large 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 Nature Reserve is an amazing combination of unearthly landscapes, interesting story, complete legends and myths, rich vegetable and animal world 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.

There is one rude mistake that a tourist traveling in Crimea makes his holiday in the Crimea, turning his holiday in the seal, when there is only riding on a banana from the memories buffet in the hotel. There is nothing wrong with that, but on my own experience I can say that a couple of days to relax on the beach is enough. Then he begins to pull on the walk, and the burnt leather requires relaxation from sunbathing.

So, in order for the years ahead, we need to know bright impressions from vacation, every tourist and traveler you need to know what to see in Crimea is necessary. I made you a cheat sheet from the top - the 20 most popular places for tourists on the peninsula. If you do not wait to get this free bonus read the article on!

Crimea What to see be sure to top - 20 best places

All tourists are different and recreation in each of everyone also differ, so I divided interesting places Crimea on thematic blocks. If you are more attracted by the drive and you want to catch an adrenaline, then you will probably be bored on sightseeing excursions, even if they are top-end and all guides will recommend them as required for visiting. Listen to yourself and your desires, and choose a holiday in the shower. For example, I can say on my own that the immersion of 200 meters in the cave seemed to me much more interesting than looking at the luxurious interior of the Crimean Palaces.

sights

1. Mount Ai Petri

Mount Ai Petri should rise in three reasons. The first reason is because observation deck with which opens truly beautiful view on Yalta I. Black Sea coast. If you are on top of sightseeing groups, the bus will raise you directly to the viewing, the asphalt track leads to it, which can also be reached by car on your own.

Also on Ai Petri has the opportunity to climb and walking towards a tourist, buying a ticket to a cable car from Alupka. This is the second reason why flower hundreds of holidays flowed here. From the booth you can see the famous teeth who showed the world Soviet director Gaidai in the film about the adventures of Shurik.

And the last reason is the caves that are on the plateau of the same name. We were with an excursion to Ai Petri in August, and the weather on top was not very different from the whole temperature in the Crimea. Even in the light summer things we did not frozen. So take warm things in the midst of the season, I consider it too much if you are not going to go down to the cave, where the degree will be lower.

2. Swallow nest

Swallow the nest has become popular among tourists, only due to its unusual location. Indeed, this miniature castle in the Gothic style, inexplicably soaring over a break on the 40-meter cliff. In essence, this object has no historical value, celebrities did not live in it and it even does not even have an interesting prehistory. But it was for his fancy image that it was painted in paintings, and returns from the Crimea without a photo against the background of a swallow socket will be considered a bad tone.

3. Palaces

At all times, Crimea was a tailed piece, because of his beautiful natural landscape and a mild climate, many rich significant people chose the peninsula as a place for the construction of luxury palaces and royal orders. Today, no one lives in the palaces, they are used as museums for tourist excursions. In fact, the palaces in the Crimea a lot and cover everything during the holidays.

Now tourists come here to see the museum with the shakers of the emperor and the subjects of the royal life, and enjoys leisurely walks in the forest, because the location of the palace has it.

Near the Massandra Palace, Yalta Gorno - Forest natural Reserve. Is it worth saying that walks over a pine forest in combination with mountain air have a beneficial effect on well-being, and green lawns with broken flower beds with fragrant flowers will make this day the most pleasant and memorable.

5. Cave Emine Bair Khosar

Usually visiting the cave Emine Bair Khosar comes in a compartment with a marble cave, because they both are located on the Chatyr Dag plateau, and they are separating the distance of just two kilometers of the way. The beautiful name of the cave received thanks to the Tatar stretch - "Well on the slope of the mountain", but guides are preferred to call it a mammoth cave in honor of the Mammoth failed in her subsoran, the remains of which are now the main attraction of this place.

Another visitors of the cave, who often visited there were cave bears, saber-toothed tigers and woolly rhino, their bones rest next door to the remains of Mammoth. But there were no traces of their ancestors here, apparently an ancient man was careful and did not burn with a desire to meet here with these predators.

In Crimea, there is a place that you need to visit every rest, so as not to forget about the heroism of our ancestors and what price they had to pay for our today's peaceful sky above the head. This place is the museum on the site of the former quarry, where during the war years people lived and led defense from mines, surviving in inhuman conditions and out of the last forces gave repulsion to the enemy on the Nature of the Hitler's army. It is terrible to imagine that I had to endure the occupied residents. Along with hunger and lack of drink, the Nazis exploded and dumped the entrances, injected into the underground gallery smoke, arranged collaps. Of the ten thousand unfortunate occupied residents descended in the quarry in 1942, several hundreds of hundreds remained.

There is an underground museum near the city of Kerch and it is impossible to miss it, there is a giant memorial monument to the heroes of the Second World War.

Natural monuments

12. Cape Fiolent

Cape The Fiolent is the most picturesque creation of nature in the Crimea, for the volcano worked on his appearance, today the eruption of which can be observed in the form of huge black lava chips, towering over the sea. The spectacle is unforgettable, so all tourists say, and I fully agree with them ...

At Cape Phiolent you can swim. But to freshen on local beachIt will have to go down about a thousand unequipped and extreme steps, but the reward will be the most early sea in the Crimea overlooking the rocks and almost complete lack of tourists.

The Cape The Fiolent in Crimea will not be difficult to come both as part of the excursion group and its own move. Stop public transport "5th kilometer," then you need to transfer to a minibus going to Cape Fiolent.

13. Demergi.

Demerji is the most mysterious mountain in Crimea and that's why. Firstly, this is not a mountain at all, but a plateau, stretched a few kilometers along the Black Sea, near the city of Alushta. The second reason is bizarrees in the form of giant stone pillars, resembling the sculptures of warriors, and one of them because of the similarity with the face of Empress Catherine, named after her honor. Third, this is a popular place of the valley of the deliberations, called so because of frequent fogs descending to the valley. When only the tops of stone sculptures can be seen from under thick clouds, resembling the frozen silhouettes of people.

By the way, interesting factAt different times of the day, Demerji changes his appearance, every time appearing before tourists in a new color, it is associated with the amazing composition of stone rocks forming a mountain range. There are several trekking trails passing through oak and beak groves to Demerji, therefore it will not get lost or miss interesting.

14. White Rock Ak-Kai

Ak Kaya is a steep rock cliff, with her appearance resembling canyons from films about the wildest West. No wonder, many directors chose this terrain for filming movies, here perfectly fit into the landscape - cowboys in wide-frame hats, jumping on riding horses.

But the rock has also a dark story, on the top of the ak kaya in the Middle Ages, people were executed, throwing down from a sheer cliff. The robbers were arranged in the caves ak kai caches for a worn. The famous commander arranged at her assembly plateau, and the soldiers briefed.

15. Kara Dagi Reserve

The rest of the attractions of the reserve is the Museum of the same name, a tourist trail of 7 kilometers long, panoramic viewing platforms.

16. Waterfalls

Waterfall Studis - SU is considered the highest waterfall in the Crimea, but unfortunately his view in the peak of the season leaves much to be desired, in the summer month he almost dries up and so that it is better to not get a disappointment from the trip better to visit the less than high, but the summer waterfall of Jur - Jur.

Jur - Jur is the most spectacular and beautiful waterfall In the Crimea, even the name of the waterfall is murmur. If you come to Abkhazia and not ride to the waterfall will be considered a bad tone, then Jur - Jasky Waterfall should be visited on vacation in Crimea. The height of the falling flow is equal to fifteen meters, and together with water from the mountain, stones fall, so it will enjoy the bathing, but it will plunge into ice water, not many will agree. But on the background of the waterfall, excellent photos are obtained, and if before that you have not seen such a miracle of nature, he can impress you!

With health benefits

17. Limany

Crimea is not only beautiful landscapes and sights, but also the healing air, unique salted lakes and mineral mud. Arriving in the Crimea, relax is quite realistic to improve your health and cure many ailments. Where can this be done if you are not in the resort treatment in the sanatorium? The fact is that there are many free natural hospitals in the Crimea, which can be used directly outdoors, and are called such wonders of nature - Limans.

Limans are lakes with a high salt concentration in the composition of water, and at the bottom of such water bodies, therapeutic dirt occur, which have a beneficial effect on the skin and the body as a whole. To get treatment enough to come to Liman, which in the Crimea a huge amount, take a mineral bath and apply medical dirt on the body.

Feedback on how we went to Liman in Evpatoria Lake Mynaki can be read.

18. Mud Volcanoes Jau Teppe

If you are sure that there are no current volcanoes in the Crimea, then deeply mistaken. On the peninsula there are amazing natural volcanoes spewing no fiery lava, but the flows of healing dirt! In total, there are about seven acting volcanoes in the Crimea and they are all located in the East Kerch Peninsula In the village of Vulcanovka. But unlike Limanov, climb in Zhero Volcano to smear mud, it will be a big stupidity, you can easily fall into a natural crater. Nature dirt contains a storehouse of minerals and is used by doctors in health purposes in the hospitals and the sanatoriums of the Crimea.

Entertainment events

Crimea has long ceased to carry the status of a retired rest, the events held on the peninsula are most often directed to youth and active time. Jazz festivals are held here, informal youth, many clubs, cafes and other entertainment, rapidly boils night life in resort cities. What unusual events can be visited in the Crimea, which you definitely not see at home?

19. Mud fighting

This non-traditional sport appeared in Crimea relatively recently and has already gained popularity in the audience, visitors and tourists. It would still, because in the role of athletes in the arena there are beautiful pumped girls, but this is not the main quality. That's the sake of which visitors come here - it seems to see the workshops of karate techniques, and sometimes even tricks like spectacular acrobatic numbers. Do not be afraid here there will be no blood and broken ribs, but the tide of adrenaline for watching mud battles is provided to you. And in this event you can participate in person personally, each viewer is given the opportunity to enter the ring and will be filled with the forces with gladiator girls.
