You can get to the top of Ai-Petri by cable car
First of all, it is worth saying that you are unlikely to visit all the sights of Crimea within 10-15 days – the fact is that there are simply an endless number of them. In essence, the whole of Crimea is one big attraction of Ukraine. However, you can travel through the most significant places that delight numerous tourists.
The sights of Crimea include a rather large list, headed by the ancient city of Scythian Neapolis. The ruins represent the remains of a late-period Scythian state. It is worth noting that this was one of the first predecessors of modern Simferopol.
Scythian Neapolis is included in the list of architectural monuments of world heritage of humanity. The first mentions of the city are found in writings from the 2nd century BC. This attraction is located on the plateau of Petrovsky Rocks. Nearby is the cozy hotel "Tavria", which welcomes visitors all year round.
The tourist map of Crimea includes another ancient structure that has survived to this day through a monumental crypt. The uniqueness of the building lies in its numerous combination of archaic and constructive forms. The Melek-Chesme mound is a relative of the Tsar's mound. Both date back to the 4th century BC. The main distinguishing characteristic of both attractions is their size – it should be noted that these two sights of Crimea surpass almost all mounds in the area in terms of territory.
Mentioning the sights of Crimea, one must not forget the ancient city of Chersonesos, or rather its ruins. It is worth noting that the 2011 tourist map of Crimea characterizes this attraction as one of the most important and popular among visitors. For two centuries, archaeologists from all over the world have been conducting continuous excavations here and finding more and more new rarities left to us as a legacy from ancient civilizations.
Taking the 2011 tourist map of Crimea in hand, do not miss the St. Vladimir's Cathedral. The main attraction here is a bell that reproduces a rather interesting melody. The history of this bell is very interesting, but a guide will tell you about it during the excursion. We only note that this bell has experienced a lot and has seen many countries.
As for the more "recent" attractions, there are also quite a few, and not all ancient architectural monuments have been listed. If you enjoy scenic and romantic walks, then going on vacation to Crimea, be sure to visit the restaurant "Swallow's Nest". The beautifully designed building in the form of a small chapel spreads its grounds right on a cliff ledge. At the same time, it offers a wonderful sea view that amazes with its beauty. It is especially beautiful here in the evening at sunset.
For those who are not afraid of heights – the cable car leading to Mount Ai-Petri. A wonderful phenomenon awaits you at the top of the mountain. The fact is that it has a considerable height and the passing clouds often get tangled in its grounds. It creates the impression that you are walking in the sky.
The 2011 tourist map of Crimea does not end there. We have presented only the most famous, but far from all the beautiful places of Crimea. Just think of the Yalta embankment, the zoo, the Fairy Tale Glade, the botanical garden...
