Details.

Yalta, the most famous and aristocratic resort of the Crimea, is located in a cozy bay, on the slopes of low hills and valleys of two rivers, protected by mountains from cold winds and precipitation, having received the status of “county mystic” in 1838.

A significant influence on the climate of Yalta has a geographical location, because the city is on the same latitude with Northern Italy and Southern France.

Yalta is famous for its main doctor – the healing Mediterranean climate.

You can walk endlessly along the embankment, admiring the sea expanses, boats and sailboats scurrying along the water surface. Sliding by looking at the mountains, which powerfully and mysteriously rise above the city, you feel how the peaks beckon with their views. It seems incredible, but in just 40 minutes you can climb the high-altitude yaila by car or cable car, which is located nearby, in the village of Miskhor. From Yalta, it is convenient to get to all corners of the peninsula, it is located in the center of the South Bank, since long ago, after coming to a convenient harbor, trade caravans followed. Therefore, from this city it is so easy to go on any excursions from Yalta to the Crimea.

They serve as a landmark, as in the Middle Ages, the temple of John Chrysostom and the bell tower of St. Nicholas, towering over Yalta. Attracts the views of the Temple of Alexander Nevsky, built at the beginning of the last century in the old Russian style. On Pushkin Boulevard there is a Catholic Church, in which concerts of organ music are held in the evenings. A little away from the city center is attracted by the unusual architecture of the Armenian Church, reminiscent of a masterpiece of medieval architecture. In parallel with the embankment there are narrow streets with ancient houses, interesting for their architecture and people.

The Chekhov Theatre unites creative personalities, as more than a hundred years ago, when Fyodor Ivanovich Chaliapin, Sergey Rachmaninov, artists of the Moscow Theatre, who came on tour to please Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, performed on its stage.

In 1892, a historical and literary museum was founded, interesting for its exposition "Golden Pantry", which contains treasures of the Hellenes, Romans, ready from the archaeological monuments of the peninsula.

One of the most hospitable houses of Yalta is the house-museum of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, visited by Alexander Kuprin, Ivan Bunin, Isaac Levitan, Maxim Gorky and many other artists, poets, writers.

Without Russia it is not good, of all the Russian warmest places – the best southern coast of Crimea. Crimea is cozy and closer to Russia, he wrote to a friend.

Visiting the Zoo, the Museum of Fairy Tales Polyana, the water area located on the territory of Yalta, adults and children will feel an amazing atmosphere of kindness and understanding of nature.
