Attractions

Swallow's Nest is one of the most romantic and small castles in the world. Being similar to a medieval building, it has nothing to do with such a high-profile title. At the end of the 19th century, a retired general of the Russian-Turkish war received this place for his services, where he built himself a small wooden house.

Later it was resold several times until it became the property of a German oil industrialist. He wanted to see a structure hovering above the sea in this place, reminiscent of the Belem Tower or Villa Miramare near Trieste. This is how the now famous “Swallow’s Nest” appeared. A luxurious garden was laid out next to the house. Crimea is an area with seismic activity. During a small earthquake, the section of rock on which the castle garden was located collapsed into the sea.

Before the First World War the castle was sold. It went through a period of abandonment, then lengthy restoration and strengthening. The building currently hosts various art exhibitions open to visitors. The castle remains one of the most romantic places in the world. Despite its modest interior decoration, very small size, and lack of special historical values, it attracts guests and is the calling card of Southern Crimea.

It owes its fame to its favorable location on the edge of a steep cliff and the most picturesque landscape that surrounds it at any time of the year.

If you rise a little higher from the observation deck, you can see the Wishing Tree - an original artifact for tourists. It is believed that if you put a coin in a chest, you will be haunted by a desire and everything will be fine.

Pleasure ships go to the Swallow's Nest from the Yalta embankment.

To the left of the entrance there is a feeding area for cats - of which there are quite a lot in the botanical garden. Cats fit quite harmoniously into the atmosphere of the garden.

The garden was founded in the 19th century and initially only fruit crops were grown in it. The need for its creation was dictated by the fact that the climate in Yalta and its surroundings is quite difficult for the survival of vegetation. Thanks to this garden, many fruit and berry and ornamental crops were developed that were suitable for these climatic conditions. As a result, varieties of apricots, figs, mulberries and other fruits have appeared that are not only not inferior to their counterparts from the black earth regions, but also superior in juiciness and taste.

Today the garden contains plants from different parts of the world. It’s always a pleasure to spend time here, wandering between glades, tulips, roses, various cacti, in a bamboo grove, among different types of coniferous trees.

How to get there: Address: Crimea, Alupka, sh. Dvortsovoye, 18

This palace is the most special of all the ones on the south coast. It was built for Count Vorontsov. It took about 20 years to build it. Having visited the South Coast, you can’t help but visit this man-made miracle.

Its interior decoration has been largely preserved, so it will be interesting to see it not only from the outside, but also from the inside. It is felt that its owner tried to make his house an indicator of prosperity and comfort. There are about 150 rooms inside. Not all are available for inspection. But even those that can be seen are interesting for their decoration, wall decoration, fireplaces, and furniture.

Its architecture fits perfectly into the surrounding landscape. They say that the architect who designed it had never been here. I only saw drawings and photos of these places. Another master, who was present here throughout the construction, slightly changed the original project.

The palace has a winter garden and streets imitating a medieval city. It combines several styles. The main material from which it is made is local diabase stone. It is 2 times stronger than granite, but also more capricious in processing. For the construction and decoration of the palace, craftsmen from various construction specialties were assembled. Today the names of about 300 of them have been restored.

Its main entrance with an Arabic arch, an avenue of lions and a large staircase faces the sea. The inner side faces a small courtyard, behind which the equally beautiful Vorontsov Park begins. It was broken artificially. A huge amount of land was brought for him. Plants were collected from different parts of the world. The park has several lakes with clear water that flows into them from mountain streams. Today this palace and park are an open-air museum.

Livadia Palace

How to get there: Address: Crimea, Yalta urban district, Livadia village, st. Baturina, 44a

One of the most famous attractions is the Livadia Palace of Nicholas II.

This palace, as it is today, was built in little more than a year as a summer residence for Nicholas II. This was done by the Russian architect Krasnov. The structure was erected after the Emperor visited Italy. It is built according to the type of Italian villas.

The emperor's family was extremely pleased. Majestic, snow-white, located in a beautiful place with amazing landscapes, I couldn’t help but like it. It was built from white Inkerman stone. The outer surface is coated with a special compound that protects the stone from weathering and contamination. All interior finishing details were designed by the architect and manufactured in Moscow. Everything about it should have spoken of the majesty of its owners. A large park with cozy alleys, gazebos, numerous fountains and views of wonderful landscapes has been laid out for them.

The Italian courtyard is located on the inside of the palace. Decorated with numerous arches and columns, it invites you to sit in its shade. There is also a small church here.

After the revolution, the Livadia Palace became a rest home for peasants. It is also famous for the fact that in 1945 the Crimean (Yalta) conference of heads of government of the coalition: USA, Great Britain, USSR (Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill) was held here.

Today the palace is open to tourists. Sometimes its halls are used for conferences and exhibitions.

Wuchang-Su Waterfall

How to get there: Address: Yalta, Vinogradnoye, Bakhchisarai highway
GPS coordinates of the navigator: 44°29’32″N 34°05’33″E

This waterfall is known not so much for the height and power of the water as for its beauty. But it is worth visiting it in spring or early summer, or in autumn, when it is full of water. Those who come at the end of summer risk being disappointed, since there will be little water and they will not get the proper impression. The waterfall is also beautiful in winter. During the cold season, people come here to look at the icy kingdom of many icicles and frozen spray. But such cold does not happen every winter.

It is located at an altitude of 8 km above Yalta. The height of the water falling from the sheer cliff is 98 meters. It is also called “hanging water”.
In spring, the waterfall is visible even from Yalta. The sound of falling water carries far. When falling, streams of water fall on the protruding stones in the rock, which gives it a special appearance. The water in it is the purest. Falling, it ends up in the Mogabinskoye reservoir, from where Yalta receives its water supply.
In the rock, which is located on the path of the waterfall, there is a small observation deck with a sculpture of an eagle taking off. If you walk a little below the waterfall, then by the river you can see the remains of a destroyed Greco-Byzantine fortress.
The road to the waterfall is well-maintained and spacious enough for walks, which will be a pleasure in themselves.

Massandra Palace

How to get there: Address: Crimea, Yalta urban district, Massandra village, Simferopol highway, 13

GPS coordinates for the navigator: Latitude 44°31′02″ / Longitude 34°12′10″

In March 1902, the construction of the Massandra Palace, in the form in which it has reached the present day, was completed. Exact calculations were made of how much money was spent on its construction - 978,443 rubles 42 kopecks. It was built at the expense of the treasury, and not from imperial money.

The architect who designed it and supervised the construction, Messmacher, wrote: “... the work on both the external and internal decoration of the palace... was carried out with such diligence, so solidly and conscientiously, that he, as I hoped, could well justify what was done to me by the Most August customer's gracious trust." And it was the honest truth.

But ironically, the palace was never a place for anyone to live there for a long time.

One of the most beautiful and worthy attractions of Crimea, the Massandra Palace has a rather sad history. The castle was based on the styles of the Renaissance and the Middle Ages. They fit perfectly into the landscape of the Crimean mountains.

The first construction of the palace was undertaken by Count Vorontsov. When the work was in full swing, the architect who was involved in the construction suddenly died of a heart attack. But the work continued. However, while the castle was still unfinished, its owner, Vorontsov, died.

After Vorontsov's death, the estate passed to his wife, who almost immediately sold it to Countess Shuvalova.

After that, it was purchased by Alexander III with the aim of developing industrial viticulture. The new owner liked the palace and commissioned the architect M.E. Messmacher to complete it. Under his leadership, the palace was completed, terraces and balconies were added, and many elements of the external facade were updated and changed. Heating, hot and cold water were installed, sewerage was installed and the water supply system was improved.
Much was planned, but in view of the death of Alexander III, an order was received from his heir Nicholas III to complete construction in a short time, reducing the number of projects.

Nicholas II did not really like Massandra. He visited this palace only sometimes during the day, and spent all his time in Livadia.
The palace was completed. It was joined by two picturesque towers and terraces; the interior decoration met modern tastes and traditions.
The palace in Massandra became a real “swan song” of the architect. He invested his talent, experience, and great knowledge in art history into it.
For decoration, complex technologies of carving and sculpting were used, wood burning was used to make entire panels, and walls and doors were painted with paints, then fixed in a special way.

Famous artistic organizations involved in decorating the palaces of St. Petersburg were involved in the decoration.

An engine room was built to service the palace. There was a park all around. It was supplemented by a large number of sculptures. 6 of them have survived to this day.
Today, much of what was there has not survived. However, even from what is there, one can judge how much effort, artistic talent, rare materials and technologies were used in its construction.

Yalta-Gorka cable car

It has been working since 1968. This is a small road that starts from the embankment itself. Its length is 600 meters.

Yalta is divided into three main districts: Old city, where the history of the settlement of the first inhabitants began, the new city and Chekhovo. The city also includes the village of Nikita and. That's why, space for walking enough. But, if you are not interested in just walking around the city, I will name interesting routes.

Top places to go in Yalta

Hotels- don’t forget to check prices from booking sites! Don't overpay. This !

Rent a Car- also an aggregation of prices from all rental companies, all in one place, let's go!

I have been to Yalta many times. When I came here for the first time, I was amazed by the nature: palm trees, mountains, blue sea! It seemed to me that I was in Turkey, and not in Crimea. After swimming to my heart’s content in the sea, I went to explore the local attractions. I’ll tell you about the most amazing places that I remember.

Where did I go in Yalta

Since I love literature very much, in the city guide I immediately looked for attractions associated with great writers and books. Therefore, the first places I went to were the following:

• house-museum of A.P. Chekhov;
• historical and literary museum;
• Memorial Museum of Lesya Ukrainka.

I’ll tell you in more detail about these wonderful museums.

Chekhov's House

When I saw A.P. Chekhov’s house, I gasped. It coincided so much with my ideas. Reading about Chekhov's life, I saw him as neat and sedate. Therefore, no matter how many times I come to Yalta, I still go “to visit” Chekhov every time. I really like his house, imbued with some special atmosphere. Looking at his desk, I imagine Anton Pavlovich, sitting thoughtfully with a pen in his hands... “He’s probably writing the next chapter of The Cherry Orchard,” I think...

Chekhov moved to Yalta for health reasons and lived here until his death. After his death, his sister took over the house and kept the furnishings in the rooms intact.

Yalta Historical and Literary Museum

There is a mysterious atmosphere unique to museums here. And it is created by ancient things, such as:

• photos;
• archaeological finds;
• household items and treasures of ancient peoples;
• valuable jewelry and coins.

With the help of these unique exhibits you can get acquainted with the ancient history of Yalta.

Memorial Museum of L.Ukrainka

Lesya Ukrainka is a famous Ukrainian writer who loved Yalta especially touchingly. And not only because the Crimean climate eased the pain in her bones, but also because Yalta gave her inspiration and strength.

The museum has a large exhibition telling about her creative life.

Summer, heat, vacation! We urgently need to go somewhere and relax. For the third year now, my mother did not go on vacation. Living in Crimea for most of her life, she had never been to Yalta. So I decided to give her a gift. But my mother is very stubborn and did not agree. We love a quieter and more relaxing holiday. And for some reason she had a picture in her head and the opinion that in Yalta nothing to do. There seems to be nothing to see there and nowhere to go. Since I’ve been to Yalta more than once, I had to give a brief overview of the most important places that absolutely everyone who comes is required to visit to Yalta.

This year my family and I decided relax in Yalta, since I didn’t really want to go to foreign resorts, and the budget was very limited, there was a crisis, what can I say. On the very first day of our stay at the resort, we were faced with the question of What interesting things can you see in this city? Luckily, the people who stayed in the hotel next door to us were very nice and were happy to tell us about everything sights of Yalta.

What to see in Yalta

I’ll say right away that our vacation in this beautiful city lasted for a couple of days, since there were many more attractions here than we could have imagined. All this is due to the fact that many interesting places in Yalta are not only in the city itself, but also in its vicinity.

Where to go in Yalta with children

If you are planning go to Yalta with children, then don’t think that they will get bored there. This city has many places that will delight and surprise your little ones.

Firstly, I highly recommend taking your children to Zoo called "Fairy Tale". What I really liked about this place was that at the entrance they sold special food for specific types of animals, respectively. we could treat our little brothers without causing harm to their health.

Secondly, despite the fact that Yalta has a sea, I advise you to go with your child to water park "Atlantis". Everything there is aimed specifically at family vacations, and there are special areas for children, which are designed in the form of various children's cartoons. Also available children's aquadrome, which is called "Seven seas".

And finally, the youngest children should like a place called "Glade of Fairy Tales". The territory of the attraction occupies several kilometers, but you can explore it with a guide sculptures of all fairy-tale characters about an hour, and then independently return with the child to the places where he liked the most.

Where to walk around Yalta

I won’t talk about the competition – it’s a separate topic. And here about the new Yalta- yes, yes. Why new? It’s just that I haven’t been there for 16 years, so I’m new. First of all, I advise you to look, perhaps, the last surviving monument to Lenin of its kind. The mayor of Yalta, in my opinion, made a very wise decision: to postpone the demolition of the monument indefinitely, so as not to traumatize the psyche of the elderly population, for whom this monument means a lot. Well, young fellow, what can you say, an informal approach to caring for pensioners.

Walk along the Yalta embankment- it’s akin to Deribasovskaya in Odessa, it’s simply a sin to miss it. Hold the knee of Anton Palych Chekhov. Again, walking along the streets, squares and open parks is also a sacred thing. Although walking around Yalta is not so pleasant - it’s all hunchbacked and hilly, you can only walk smoothly on the embankment, otherwise it’s uphill and downhill. I can’t even imagine how local girls walk in heels.

Parks in Yalta

You can devote a day to each park - and it won’t be enough. All of them are unique and interesting, time flies in them, and you don’t want to leave this tropical garden and park paradise.
