Details.

It is impossible that at the thought that you are in Sevastopol, feelings of courage and pride do not penetrate into your soul. Leo Tolstoy.

Sevastopol - from the Greek translated "magnificent, worthy of worship, the city of glory" is located in the south-west of the Crimea, on the shores of 33 bays - natural sea harbors.

Sevastopol has a unique face, white-stone strict classical facades of houses, elegant casting, ancient guns.

This is a city of sailors, proudly bearing the title of "cradle of the Russian fleet".

Sevastopol has repeatedly been at the center of world events, it has always been remembered, it has always been fought for. However, Sevastopol is not only a hero city, but also an excellent resort, the largest historical center. The role of this region in ancient, medieval and modern history is significant. Even the ancient Greeks laid the basis for the energy of this place self-esteem, courage and the ability to stand up for themselves.

Chersonese in Greek - "cape", "peninsula" is located on the cape between two bays - Quarantine and Sand. A special atmosphere of antiquity is the ancient theater, the mint, the estates and houses of citizens, columns of temples, the ruins of medieval basilicas, located right on the shore of the azure sea.

For a long time Chersonese was the largest seaport of Taurida. It was visited during his journey by the Apostle Andrew the First-Called, here Saint Clement received a martyr’s death. In the 9th century, the preachers of Christianity, the creators of the Slavic alphabet Cyril and Methodius visited Chersonesos with a sacred mission. In 988, Prince Vladimir accepted Orthodoxy, marking the beginning of the Baptism of Rus. The Genoese, the Golden Horde and the Port of Otaman did everything to make the city cease to exist.

The foggy bell cast from captured Turkish cannons is a symbol of Chersonesos. It majestically rises above the rocky shore, protecting the shrines.

In memory of the baptism of Prince Vladimir, the residents of the city decided to erect the St. Vladimir Cathedral, which is now restored in the center of the settlement.

It was the Russian commander Alexander Vasilyevich Suvorov who saw the importance of building a sea fortress on the shore of the Akhtiar Bay, which was laid in the year of the annexation of Crimea to Russia in 1783.

We will take a walk through the central part of the city. The historical boulevard is interesting not only for the monuments of the times of the Crimean and Great Patriotic Wars, for me it is unforgettable for the fate of people who loved and defended the city. Navy commander Fedor Fedorovich Ushakov, Alexander Vasilyevich Suvorov, who did not lose a single battle, Eduard Ivanovich Totlebin, who headed the engineering defense of Sevastopol. On the 4th bastion, next to the building of the Panorama "Defense of Sevastopol 1854-1855", telling about the heroic defense of the city, first of all remember about the lieutenant of the mountain artillery Lev Tolstoy, nurse Dasha Sevastopolskaya, scout Petr Koshka, surgeon Nikolai Ivanovich Pirogov, Admirals Vladimir Alekseevich Kornilov, Pavel Stepanovich Nakhimov and all other amazing people.

In the center of the city rises St. Vladimir Cathedral – the tomb of admirals, all the defenders of Sevastopol and the Russian land.

One of the main attractions of the city is the Count's Wharf - the main pier of Sevastopol, from which you can make a small sea trip by boat through the bays of Sevastopol. You will pass next to the frozen warships and at least briefly feel like a sailor and take with you impressions left in memory for many years.

Nakhimov Square, Primorsky Boulevard, Monument to flooded ships, Monument to the Mercury Brig, Alley of Heroes Cities, Memorial in honor of the heroic defense of Sevastopol during the Great Patriotic War reminds us of people and events that left their mark in the annals of the city life.

Sapun Mountain protects the city from the southwest, in all wars there were battles. In the center is the Diorama Museum “Storm of Sapun Mountains on May 7, 1944”, which tells about the assault of German fortifications by Soviet troops. From the viewing platform, a panorama of the beauty of the peninsula, valleys, mountain ranges opens, and you think with sadness how people step by step climbed this height and fortifications to cleanse the city from invaders.

In the northern part of Sevastopol is one of the largest wineries of the Crimea - Inkerman factory of vintage wines, founded in 1961, which produces natural wines from local grapes corresponding to European and Mediterranean taste - light, quenching thirst, exquisite.

On the tour you will learn how winemaking was born, see the endless galleries of oak barrels and butts in which wine is aged, breathe in the intoxicating aroma of a ripening drink.
