To the left stretches a series of capes, the very first and most famous of which is the Chameleon. It really resembles a huge pangolin crouching on the water, and it also changes shade depending on the time of day and lighting.
It is impossible to say when exactly this Crimean resort was founded. Presumably small village appeared near the road between Sudak and Feodosia in the 19th century. However archaeological research, held on the territory of the village, suggest that people came here around the 1st century BC. BC e. sunny Beach chosen by the Cimmerians, the Taurians, Goths, Sarmatians, Scythians and other nationalities left traces here.
The origin of the name is also unknown. According to one version, this is a Crimean Tatar word meaning "land of blue hills." Other researchers believe that the toponym came from the name of a nomadic tribe that lived here in the Middle Ages.

Sights of Koktebel
Volcanic massif of Kara-Dag and the Golden Gates of Karadag
Most popular destination travel agencies of Koktebel - the volcanic massif of Kara-Dag. If you look at the sea from the side of Koktebel, you can see the amazing creation of nature - Mount Kara-Dag, which literally means Black Mountain.
It is a volcanic massif with unique shapes, where you can see the peaks different heights, picturesque plateaus, rocks that seem to have grown out of the sea. Scientists believe that this long-extinct volcano is more than 150 million years old, after its eruption during the Jurassic period, these mountains were created.
This mountain-volcanic massif is considered the only one preserved in the European territory. The thickness of the mountain contains many different rocks, precious and semi-precious stones, one of which is jasper. According to experts, it is not inferior to the Urals in its qualities, and in some ways even surpasses it.
The mountain complex is a very complex geology. This is a combination of gentle and steep slopes, dense forests and pistachio valleys, steppe glades, wild rose thickets and large and small valleys that lead to the sea. Here amazing nature, and the bizarre shapes of the rocks look like fairy-tale characters, sometimes they resemble the figures and faces of people.
The highest point of the massif is the Holy Mountain, which rises almost 600 meters above sea level, it is believed here that it has healing power. Also, from the sea, you can clearly see the Devil's finger, according to legend, during a volcanic eruption, the devil put his finger into the boiling lava, which turned to stone and remained there forever.
But the brightest sight of Kara-Dag, along with swallow's nest and Ayu-Dag are the Golden Gates, which stand in the sea at the foot of the mountain range. For all the time of their existence, many different legends and traditions have been composed about them. Previously they were called Shaitan-Kapu ( Devil's Gate) and believed that this was the entrance to the underworld itself.
For the ancient Greeks, this was the entrance to the kingdom of Hades, which let Hercules, Orpheus and Odysseus go there. The rock got its current name from a large amount of basalt, which is part of the rock minerals, as well as yellow lichen growing on it, which shimmer like gold in the sun. You can get to them only with an excursion, by sea on a boat, or by land through Kara-Dag.
Koktebel offers several options for exploring these unique objects. For example, a boat trip through the legendary rock "Golden Gate" with a stop in the village of Kurortnoye, walking tour in the Karadag nature reserve or a trip on ATVs.
In these places, not a single pebble or rock was left without a name, and, peering into them, everyone sees something of their own. If you look closely, you can see an elephant walking on the sea, a frog, a Sphinx, and in front of you a rock resembling a man rises - this is Ivan the Robber.
There are many bays and grottoes that cut the massif and make it even more mysterious. There are legends about it, talking about a monster living in the sea at its foot. Here on Kara-Dag there is a reserve where the rarest plants grow and birds and animals listed in the Red Book live.
It is impossible to come to Koktebel and not go to the house-museum of M. A. Voloshin. This property of the town stands almost on the seashore. A century earlier, creative people gathered in this house for communication, relaxation and inspiration, finding here peace, solitude and like-minded people. Here one could meet Tsvetaeva, Mandelstam, Gumilyov and many other famous poets and artists.
The museum was created with the light hand of the master's widow, who, in a difficult time for the country, preserved in its original form the rooms with the original interior, the archive, all the documentation and the library that personally belonged to the poet. The archive was the beginning of the founding of the museum. Its discovery took place in August 1984, and since 2001 it has been part of the Voloshin Cimmeria, the Koktebel Republican Ecological, Historical and Cultural Reserve.
Every summer in August, connoisseurs of M.A. Voloshin's craftsmanship come here to honor his memory on his birthday. Today his house is valuable because the original interior has been preserved here, where the library and the workshop made by his hands are highlighted in the foreground.
The museum fund now contains exhibits, which number about 60 thousand copies. Here you can visit an excursion reflecting the biography and creative activity of the poet "My house is open towards ....", which contains various documents, letters of the poet, photographs.
The exclusive tour "Not a house, but a museum ..." will present the interior and the things included in it, and the tour "Come in, my guest ..." will tell about the life and work of the poet, demonstrate his delicate taste and his preferences. Here you can visit the Voloshin Cimmeria (observation tower at home) and take photos or shoot a video.
Koktebel began to revive along with Russian Empire. At the same time, the Russian ophthalmologist E. Junge founded here on the coast of the sea resort area. After retiring, he purchased land near the Bulgarian settlement of Kok-Tebel and built a house. The estate turned out to be quite large, utility rooms for livestock, a laundry were built there, vineyards were planted, and a pond was equipped.
After some time, he sold part of the estate for the construction of summer cottages, the buyers of which were already well-known people. Thus, after the construction of new country houses on this land, the village becomes a small resort town.
In 1898, E. Junge dies in Yalta, and they bury him in the village of Nikita, later his ashes were reburied in Koktebel. Here, his grave was decorated in the form of a stone crypt, made in the style of Greek temples. Its entrance is made in the form of a two-column Doric portico with a cross carved on it.
Having passed the Koktebel embankment to Cape Chameleon, through the pebble beach to the spring running out to the bay, you can see a hill on the flat coast, where the ashes of the doctor of his sons and grandson rest.
During the war, a Nazi ship mistook this crypt for a fortification and destroyed it with direct fire. In the late 90s, its fragments were raised from the bottom of the sea, which are now partially located near the remains of the crypt. Unfortunately, the crypt has not yet been restored, and only the name of the hill reminds of the real founder of the resort.
On the sunny slope of the Otuz Valley in the Land of Blue Peaks, grapes have long been cultivated. The country of Koktebel, spread out at the foot of the extinct Kara-Dag, was glorified by unique wines and cognacs made from elite grapes grown on fertile soil, which absorbed all the volcanic minerals and trace elements.
The first plantations of grapes were planted here in 1879 by Dr. E. Junge, but they say that even in ancient times they were engaged in growing vines and making wonderful wines. The first state farms and artels began to organize here immediately after the end of civil war, and a little later, collective farms were created in their place.
During the war, the Otuz Valley was devastated and devastated, but after it was liberated in 1944, it was decided to restore everything and unite it into one large Koktebel enterprise.
In the late 1950s, there began grand building plant and wine cellars, the complex of which, in its complexity and dimensions, was second only to the Massandra plant. The lower wine storage consists of eight tunnels cutting through the mountain, which are connected by a huge gallery. The upper vault has five longer tunnels, and the total length of the top and bottom is almost 1.5 km. These unique vaults were built by employees of the Moscow metro construction.
The structure of the plant united three enterprises - these are plants in Koktebel, Shebetovka and Simferopol. Manufacturers carefully keep the secrets of the bouquets of produced wines and cognacs, which compete favorably with Spanish and French ones, and remain true to traditions and perfect product quality.
Having been on a tour of the plant, you can visit the site for the initial processing of grapes, visit the largest in the European part of the Madera site, and visit the wine cellars. At the end of the tour in tasting room you can taste and appreciate vintage wines and cognacs. Another tasting room, located in the center of the village, along weekdays invites visitors as part of excursion groups.
