Cape Fiolent (Crimea) - how to get there, beaches, photos, videos, interesting features. Rest on Cape Fiolent. Tsarskoye Selo beach

About an hour away by public transport, there is a stunning natural landmark, a place where the steep coast meets the azure sea waters.

All this is Cape Fiolent! The main wealth of Fiolent are beaches with crystal clear and transparent water.

Arriving in Sevastopol, not a single tourist will bypass Cape Fiolent (Fiolent). And many go to this point only for the sake of these beaches, and most importantly for the sake of clean sea ​​water, bathe in which one bliss.

So we could not pass by Fiolent and looked at its beaches!

Fiolent is not just a name, but a very specific place marked on the map. Although locals and they call Fiolent not only the cape, which we are talking about in this article, but the entire adjacent territory, yet Cape Fiolent is a specific point.

One road runs along the coast of Fiolent, along which, on one side, there are picturesque beaches with a steep bank, and on the other hand, private sector development.

Approaching the edge of the cape, a stunningly picturesque area with dizzying views of azure water opens up.

Fiolent beaches

The beaches of Fiolenta are mostly wild, the slopes to the beaches are mostly steep and rocky, somewhere equipped with steps, you have to walk about 800 steps, this is the most famous beach Fiolent - "Jasper". And sometimes the slopes to the beaches run along steep paths right along the steep coast. For more comfortable descent people even pull ropes.

For example, a stunningly beautiful beach near the Fiolent camp site. The descent to the beach at first glance may seem difficult and even dangerous.

But trust me, it's worth it. Going down you will be rewarded, on the one hand you are surrounded by steep overhanging cliffs of the cape, with huge stones, it seems as if one of them is about to collapse down, and on the other, a stunningly clear endless sea.

Difficult descent, this is only the first time. Having gone down and up back and forth a couple of times, the descent becomes already familiar. People, even with very young children, run down to the sea and even manage to take a couple of photos along the way.

Advice! To approach the sea, wear comfortable shoes and backpacks so that your hands are free.

When descending or ascending, you can enjoy ripe blackberries and drink delicious spring water from the springs.

There are also beaches:

Wild beaches under (or at) the Lighthouse;

The aforementioned Jasper. The most famous beach of Cape Fiolent, located near the stop Fiolent (or Monastery), the landmark St. George's Monastery. The beach is widely known for its colorful pebbles, it is also called jasper, hence the name of the beach itself. The beach has some infrastructure. There is a nudist section of the beach;

Royal. Located near holiday village"Tsarskoe Selo" (stop Tsarskoe Selo). Descent to the beach along an iron staircase with about 150 steps;

Wild beach behind Cape Lermontovo, under the recreation center "Karavella". Stop recreation center Karavella.

Next to the previous beach, there is another wild beach (mentioned in the article) under the Fiolent recreation center. And other wild beaches.

You can see that Fiolenta has both wild and less wild equipped beaches. However, the steeper the descent and the less refined the beach, the fewer people on the beach, which means the water is cleaner and easier to breathe. After all, it is for this that we all come to Fiolent!

All beaches are located close to each other, you can easily walk, and sometimes even confuse one gorgeous beach with another.

Right on wild beaches people set up tents, stretch out awnings, bring boats on which they go out to sea, fish, tear mussels on stones, and spend their rest in this way. I think it's very romantic.

For example, on a wild beach near the Fiolent base, on this Big Stone, as the locals call it, mussels are torn. They dive with a knife, collect it, and then roast it on a fire. Delicious.

On the slopes, in the cliffs of the cape, there are small recesses; lovers of wild tourism also settle here.

In general, campers stop wherever they can find a more or less suitable place to place a tent.

And here are a few tents set up on a small gently sloping ledge, on the descent to a wild beach.

Seeing such a vacation, we also wildly wanted to devote another week to this “wild” and wonderful life far from civilization. Swim, sunbathe, drink spring water, collect mussels, fish, and then eat your catch cooked on a fire.

Sea on Fiolent

As already mentioned, the Fiolent Sea is of stunning beauty and purity. Swimming in it is a pleasure.

The entrance to the sea on wild beaches is rocky, the pebbles are quite large and slippery, in some places covered with algae, not very pleasant for the feet. All this is not scary and you quickly get used to it, just going into the sea you have to be more careful. We took a couple of steps and immediately began to swim. And it is better to have special slippers for swimming.

In general, you can talk about the charms of Fiolent for a very long time, but it's time to wrap up. Better come and feel the charm of this amazing place for yourself. For us, after a long journey along the coast of Crimea (from Feodosia), Fiolent became just a godsend and an outlet. Believe me, Fiolent, this is one of the few and most the best places in Crimea!

– beautiful corner wildlife on southwest coast Crimea, between Sevastopol and Balaklava. This amazing place Crimean peninsula arose in antiquity as a result of volcanic activity.

More than 150 million years ago, in the Jurassic period, a volcano rose here, to which we owe the surrounding beauty. The grand cliff Fiolent and picturesque rocks on the coast are composed of volcanic tuff and petrified lava flows. There are not only a variety of volcanic rocks, but also a large number of minerals such as chalcedony or jasper. Jasper, one of the most beautiful ornamental stones, is still collected on the beach of the same name, which is located 2 kilometers east of the cape itself.

It should be noted that it is from Fiolent that it begins Main ridge Crimean mountains, which stretches from here to the northeast.

Cape Fiolent is shrouded in a halo of ancient legends and captivates with the fantastic beauty of its landscapes.

There is an opinion that in ancient times a temple of the goddess Artemis towered on Cape Fiolent. Among the inhabitants of the Crimean peninsula, the myth of Iphigenia, the daughter of Agamemnon, the former priestess of this temple, is widely known. Although the location of the ancient sanctuary has not yet been found, this beautiful legend beaten in the work of many artists, poets and writers who dedicated their creations to Cape Fiolent. Perhaps this is just a beautiful legend, but these places are really special.

Rocks Orestes and Pylades (in the center). On the left is the rock Idol. On the right is the rock of Cape Fiolent.

By the way, what did the daughter of the Greek king do in distant Tauris?

While preparing for a campaign against Troy, Agamemnon killed the doe of the goddess Artemis while hunting. She, in retaliation for what she had done, sent a complete calm to the Greeks. It took a long time to invent a steam engine, rowing was tiring, it was faster to appease Artemis with a sacrifice. The most beautiful daughter of Agamemnon, Iphigenia, was chosen for this honorary role.

At the last moment, Artemis took pity and teleported Iphigenia to Fiolent, to her temple, where she became a priestess. The priestess Iphigenia passed through the border department - she killed all the strangers who got to Tauris.

Many years later, Apollo ordered Orestes, brother of Iphigenia, to steal from the temple of Artmemis a statue capable of performing miracles (why would God need a miraculous statue?).

Capturing his friend Pylades, Orestes went to Tauris. When trying to steal friends were captured and sent to Iphigenia. Strangers and thieves are a double cause for death.

But Iphigenia recognized her brother. Having told the king of Tauris Thoas that the victims and the defiled statue should be washed, she went with them to the sea. There, quickly sitting on the piano in the bushes, the ship, the whole warm company went to Greece.

In memory of these events, three stone idols stand off the coast of Fiolent. But the rock of Iphigenia for some reason is not here, but next to Simeiz. Like, out of business...

The name of the cape is usually translated as "tiger", and this is not accidental. If you admire Cape Fiolent from the sea, then stripes are noticeable on the rocks. This yellow limestone and dark tuff, alternating, create such a peculiar color on the rocks. It seems as if a huge tiger skin covered the rocks.

However, according to another version, Fiolent is translated as "divine land". If the name is translated from Italian, then it sounds like “a violent land” or “a place where storms rage”.

Probably, not every sight of the Crimean peninsula has as many names as this mysterious and entwined cape with more than one legend.

Fiolent was previously called the Cape of St. George, which is associated with the legend of the sailors who were shipwrecked here and miraculously escaped. In honor of the saint to whom the sailors owed their miraculous salvation, St. George's Monastery was erected here.

At the foot of the sheer cliffs there are several beautiful beaches. It should be noted that not all of them have equipped slopes. Some of the beaches were chosen by nudists. There are also small hippie camps on Fiolent.

Cape Fiolent is also attractive for diving enthusiasts. The peculiar relief of the bottom, consisting of multi-colored stones, in combination with interesting bays and grottoes make diving here interesting, and crystal clear water allows divers to enjoy the amazing underwater beauty. Fiolent is also popular among rope jumpers who have chosen this place for their jumps.

Attractions Fiolent

IN ancient times Fiolent was an agricultural region of Chersonese. Gardens were located here, fields were cultivated. In the area of ​​the cape there are ruins of more than 20 ancient Greek estates. Some of them are quite well preserved, but most of the once legally protected monuments have turned into garbage dumps, and some simply served as the foundation for dachas and cottages.

On the coast, not far from the cape itself, in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bbattery No. 623, there is a wall of an ancient fortification. Near the sea are the ruins of an early Christian church.

Ruins of an ancient manor in the Fiolent area. IV-II centuries BC (!).

Two kilometers from the cape itself is one of the most famous and oldest monasteries Russia - St. George's Monastery. Founded in the 9th century on the site cave church 4th century, the monastery has witnessed many historical events.

By the way, recently in honor of this event on the high bank of Fiolent opened commemorative sign in the form of a gazebo-rotunda.

Everyone knows the feat of the first Russian sister of mercy - Dasha of Sevastopol, with whom, during the Crimean War, the Russian movement of sisters of mercy began. And at the same time, in St. George's Monastery, the founder of a similar movement in Britain, Florence Nightingale, looked after the wounded.

An interesting fact is that even during the occupation, the monks did not stop praying for victory to be sent down to Russian weapons. Some of them, having left the monastery, distinguished themselves on the bastions of Sevastopol.

During the Great Patriotic War the monastery, which housed the hospital (or rather, several medical battalions), was badly damaged. Many buildings were destroyed. Around the monastery there were several mass graves, but only one survived - Timofey Anisimovich Romanov, a Red Army soldier of the 966th artillery regiment, who died in the battle for the liberation of Sevastopol on May 11, 1944.

Directly on top of Cape Fiolent itself are the ruins of the 18th coastal battery of the Black Sea Fleet, which heroically fought to the last shell during the 2nd defense. There is a monument to sailors on the battery.

Perhaps there is not a single traveler who, leaving the Crimea, would not know where Cape Fiolent is located. One way or another, everyone gets here, even if the vacation and treatment program does not imply long excursions.

Where is Cape Fiolent

A stunning corner of the wild nature Fiolent in Sevastopol, located in the southwestern region of the peninsula. The relief was formed more than 150 million years ago and today you can see the "rock cake", in which numerous layers alternate volcanic origin. The terrain is really fascinating, but also a little dangerous: walking along the edge of a cliff is fraught with rockfalls, so beginners are not recommended to get too close to the edge. Beneath the steep cliffs are some of the the best beaches peninsula! Because so often people come to Sevastopol, Cape Fiolent inevitably attracts connoisseurs of depth, the opportunity to jump from a height into the depths of the sea and just have a good time on a sunny cozy beach.

The area from which the ridge of the Crimean Mountains begins looks more like a habitat for fabulous or mythical creatures like dragons, and certainly not a fertile land of relaxation. Therefore, if you are already going to the Crimea, the bay of Cape Fiolent should be an obligatory point of your trip.

Bay Fiolent and the height of the cape

Cape Fiolent on the map of Crimea is one of the most visited and beautiful places peninsulas.

Cape Fiolent Bay has a rich historical past. The translation of the name from different languages ​​makes you think: God's Kara, Furious Cape, Tiger Cape, God's Land - the name of the territory in Greek, Latin, Tatar and many other dialects, suggests that once it was quite difficult to enter the bay. After all, it is not for nothing that the bay of Cape Fiolent is sung in ancient myths, as a refuge for Iphigenia, brought here by the goddess Artemis. Later, Iphigenia became a priestess in the temple, so the cape is often called the Cape of the Virgin, and also St. last name while it remains a mystery.

By the way, the cliffs of Fiolent, whose height reaches 50 meters, still retain a lot of mysteries. A chain of secluded rocky bays with impregnable coastal sides stretches for 7 km and from west to east the rock masses only increase in height. You can see the beauty in detail only by approaching by boat or boat, but it is better to travel in calm weather, it is unrealistic to approach the rocks in a storm!

The most high altitude Cape Fiolent is 51-52 meters! And not every captain will dare to get close to such a board. Assessing the power and beauty of the plumb lines, one should remember only one storm in the autumn of 1854, when the entire British naval flotilla died on the outskirts of the bay.

Today, Cape Fiolent, whose height varies, offers tourists great vacation on wonderful beaches, the most famous of which is Jasper - the dressing is replete with interspersed multi-colored minerals. In addition to being beautiful, rest can replace numerous wellness procedures: the sea breeze is enriched with mineral salts of rocks and the air becomes healing. And coastal tracts covered with juniper bushes, thickets of fluffy oak, jasmine, only supplement the air currents with their phytonicides, which treat diseases of the upper respiratory tract, asthma and other troubles.

The harsh beauty of the cape, solitude, despite the large flow of tourists, calmness and detachment - this is what awaits any visitor to this unique Crimean Paradise.
