Interesting places of Crimea map. Sights of Crimea, which are definitely worth a visit. Photos of Crimean sights - all interesting in Crimea

The sights of Crimea are evenly dispersed throughout the peninsula and to visit them all at once, a whole month is not enough, so when going on a trip, you will need to carefully plan the route.
When planning a route, it is worth considering how you will travel - by car, by public transport or hitchhiking. By the way, Crimea is the only place we've been to where you can drive a few hours along a mountain serpentine on a trolleybus, from the railway station in Simferopol to Yalta, for example.

Crimean peninsula, without a doubt, can be called a "museum of attractions." Such a quantity and variety of locations can hardly be found anywhere else: mountains, palaces, fortresses, cave cities, beaches, museums, churches - sights for every taste. Do not go unnoticed and natural objects: Botanical garden, Karalar park, Golitsin trail, Cape Fiolent, Mount Ai-Petri with its cable car and more than 300 parks.

(the author of the map, unfortunately, is unknown, but if information appears, we will definitely add it)

It so happened that most often we stop in Yalta. Yalta is the most popular tourist city, from here you can easily go to various sights of the Crimea, then return back “home” and go for a walk on the busy embankment in the evening (even in January). Housing here is mostly for rent. locals on the coastline, sort of like guest houses built in a unique, chaotic pattern - on top of each other. Sometimes even the first time it is difficult to remember how to get back to your room through the winding corridors and streets.

Yalta is a very convenient city for a starting point when visiting nearby attractions. If you plan to travel to the “far” part of Crimea, consider accommodation options in Sevastopol.

What sights of Crimea to visit by car

Traveling by car, you can visit many more sights, but it is worth considering that the roads in Crimea are in average condition in some places (except for the main ones), and also set a budget for parking in advance, where you will be warmly welcomed by "parking valets". This applies to almost all popular places.

Thanks to the discovery, now much more chances see the sights of Crimea by car, and most importantly - cheaper. Travel across the bridge is free, unlike the ferry at the Kerch crossing.

The width of the strait from the Chushka spit to the port of Crimea is about 4.5 km ( ferry crossing), instead of 15 km from the side of the bridge, but despite this, it is unlikely that now someone will want to cross by ferry.

Traveling by car will allow you to enjoy places that are inaccessible to backpackers, but there is a caveat. For example, a dirt road in natural Park Karalarsky, sometimes becomes impassable for a city car, and the asphalt in the area is "C grade", to put it mildly. And other similar locations are no exception. Therefore, before the trip, you need to decide whether you will be a “city tourist” or want to live in a tent, on the seashore, away from noisy cafes and standard sightseeing routes, depending on your desire and the vehicle’s cross-country ability.

Today Tauric Chersonesos amazes with its primeval beauty and the breath of past eras. Archaeological excavations began in 1827, and it is noteworthy that they are still ongoing.

In the Middle Ages, the Crimean peninsula was occupied by the rich colony of Genoa, and in order to protect their lands from the invasions of nomadic tribes, the Genoese built fortresses in Sudak, Feodosia and Balaklava. According to statistics, today these fortress sights of Crimea are the most popular among tourists.

4. Monument to the Scuttled Ships in Sevastopol

During the Crimean War in 1854-1855, orders were given to flood Sevastopol bay Russian ships to prevent the enemy fleet from reaching the shores. At the beginning of the 20th century, a monument to the scuttled ships was opened, which is now depicted on the coat of arms of the city. A triumphal column with a double-headed eagle looking towards the sea rises on an artificial granite rock protruding from the water. The monument, over 16 meters high, represents eternal memory war heroes.

The military-historical memorial is located on a strategically important hill on the Ship side of Sevastopol.

The snow-white and blue Moorish-style palace was built near Yalta at the end of the 19th century for Prince Romanov according to his own sketch.

With the advent of Soviet power, the palace functioned as a sanatorium, but today it is closed to visitors, however, tourists can view this Crimean landmark from the outside and walk around the picturesque territories of the palace.

In 1942, the Nazis occupied Kerch. Soviet troops who did not have time to evacuate, and local population went to the dungeons of the village of Adzhimushkay.

In the early nineties, plundered, without windows and domes, the church began to be gradually restored. Today, the most beautiful Byzantine-style church is open to the public.

One of the most famous sights of Crimea is the palace of a German baron, built at the beginning of the 20th century in the spirit of medieval knight's castles on a steep cliff on the southern coast of the peninsula.

More than one hundred and fifty caves are former residential and utility rooms, carved into the rocks, like a honeycomb. To this day, only two Karaite temples, one residential estate and the mausoleum of the daughter of Khan Tokhtamysh have been well preserved. The rest of the city has been reduced to rubble.
