Today we will travel along the high coast of Crimea. We are waiting for the passes – Saddle, Masks, Raven and many others. Not far from the place of our regular overnight stay, we will visit the unique Temple-Lighthouse of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.
The church was built as part of the memorial „In memory of those who died on the waves“ (sailors, fishermen and just travelers).
The temple is unique for many reasons. The area around the temple is arranged in a maritime style: there is a gazebo with sails and a captain’s bridge, and there are anchors around the territory. The Museum of Disasters on the Waters, opened in 2009, is also located here.

— DAY 5 —

Then we will go to the Crimean mountains. And the first point of our stop will be the Demerdzhi massif – which attracts not only avid hikers, but also people who don’t go to the mountains. Everyone is drawn to the southern slopes, covered with legends and mysteries. It is there that the Valley of Ghosts is located – a collection of bizarre rocks and boulders. Nature has carved her creations out of stone with such skill that one cannot even believe that this is the work of the weather.

Then we will climb one of the most interesting mountain ranges of Crimea – Chatyr-Dag. Its name is translated from Turkic as „tent-mountain“. Witty tourists say that this bulk is very similar to Dutch cheese, because everything is riddled with hundreds of karst cavities, shafts, wells, caves. Among them, the most popular is the Marble Cave. According to experts, it is one of the five most beautiful equipped caves in the world. Here we will leave our equipment and go underground to see it all with our own eyes.

Overnight in Bakhchisarai.

— DAY 6 —

Today will begin with an excursion to the famous Khan’s Palace – XVI century.
The beautiful Khan’s Palace of Bakhchisaray, the legendary „garden city“, aroused the admiration of everyone who had ever been here. Enthusiastic lines about him were written by great poets, writers, musicians, monarchs. This palace serves as an amazing and, no doubt, a unique example of Crimean Tatar architecture.

The next point of our journey will be the fantastic cave city of Chufut-Kale.

For some time, the residence of the Crimean Khanate was located in Chufut-Kale, until Bakhchisaray was built nearby. After the residence of the khans was transferred to Bakhchisaray, Chufut-Kale remained a defensive fortress and a prison for prisoners.

Today, streets with entire buildings, cellars, a mausoleum, and fortifications have been preserved here. Thanks to the preserved houses, one can imagine what other Crimean cave cities looked like, from which, unfortunately, only ruins remained.

After that we will go down to the famous Balaklava bay. Balaklava Bay is undoubtedly the main attraction of the Crimea.
Traces of different eras are preserved on its small territory. But perhaps the main one of them was and remains its historical significance during the Second World War. To find out the details and get to know a number of the most important events of that terrible time, the guide will help us tomorrow, and today we will go to the Genoese fortress of Chembalo, from where a stunning view of the bay and the open sea opens.
