One of the most amazing places in the vicinity of Sevastopol is Cape Fiolent. A piece of land invading the sea, formed by volcanic rocks, opens up landscapes of extraordinary beauty to its visitors. You can admire the expanses of the sea here on the tops of rocks, the height of which is from 50 to 200 meters. The coastline is formed by numerous niches, stone heaps, miniature islands, rocky coves with grottoes. The nature of the cape is represented by a sparse forest, including a variety of plants. However, the main feature of the place is bare, bizarrely shaped rocks, open to all winds, descending into clear water.

Vacationers in the Crimea in June-July cannot ignore the blooming lavender fields. As you know, the birthplace of lavender, an evergreen shrub that conquers the refined smell of its flowers, is the Mediterranean. In the Crimea, this beautiful plant began to be grown on an industrial scale to produce essential oil, starting in 1928. Over the past decades, plantation areas have declined significantly, many of them are abandoned. At the same time, there are several vast and well-groomed fields that make it possible to compare the surroundings of Crimea with French Provence. Such magical places can be found near Bakhchisaray - in the village of Turgenevka, near the villages of Kudrino and Shelkovichnoye, in the mountains near the villages of Growing and Zavetnoe; not far from the suburb of Alushta - the village of Lavender; at Cape Tarkhankut. Lavender fields are spread on both sides of the road "Simferopol - Sudak".
The violet sea receding into the distance, filling the air with an intoxicating aroma, is beautiful in different ways at different times of the day: lavender flowers change shades depending on the lighting. But whenever you fail to contemplate this natural splendor - at dawn, in the middle of the day or at sunset, the impressions of what you see will remain for a lifetime.

Ai-Petri Yayla, which is part of the Main Range of the Crimean Mountains, stretches from east to west for 25 km. The highest point of the massif is Mount Roka, whose peak rises above sea level by 1347 m. However, the less high, but incredibly picturesque peak of the plateau, Mount Ai-Petri, resembling a magical castle with sheer walls and dilapidated towers, has gained the most popularity. Its height reaches 1234 m.
The white figured teeth of the hill have become an amazing completion of the mountain amphitheater starting from the Black Sea. The spectacular appearance of the mountain has evolved over thousands of years. In the past, Ai-Petri is a huge coral reef located at the bottom of an ancient sea that existed in the Upper Jurassic period. But the legendary teeth arose much later, as a result of prolonged weathering of the limestone rocks of the former reef.
Getting to the top of Ai-Petri is not difficult at all: a cable car leads to it from the village of Koreiz, famous for the longest unsupported span in Europe. The mountain offers an impressive view of the South Coast.

Numerous Sevastopol bays are a specific sight of Crimea worthy of special attention. Among them, the Balaklava Bay, which is distinguished not only by the expressiveness of its landscapes, but also by its rich history, has gained in popularity. A number of interesting monuments testify to the distant past of the modern Crimean resort - Balaklava, the main of which is the Genoese fortress of Chembalo. The ruins of a medieval fortification, located on the top of the Fortress Mountain (Kastron), rise above the Balaklava Bay, forming an integral majestic ensemble together with the surrounding natural landscape.
The bay itself, which arose as a result of a tectonic fault, is also a unique phenomenon. Hidden behind high cliffs, it "cuts" into the land for 1500 meters. It is connected to the sea by a narrow and winding strait, in some places not exceeding 45 meters in width. All these features make the bay protected from strong winds and waves from all directions. In addition, Balaklava Bay, unlike many others, is not loaded with large-tonnage ships. This is a cozy and, at the same time, colorful place that will captivate fans of southern nature and ancient history forever.

No less beautiful legend tells about the appearance of rocky islands located near the village of Gurzuf. According to legend, the two rocks that "grew" in the middle of the sea are petrified twin brothers, punished by their own mentor for the selfish use of magic. Despite the originality of the explanation of the origin, the natural landmark received a simple name - "Adalary", which from the Crimean Tatar means all of the "islands".
The “brothers” are located 40 m from each other, and about 250 m separate them from the shore. The height of the stone giants is 35 and 48 m. “The sky is blue from above, the sea is turquoise from below” - such a harmonious frame was given to Adalary - one of the symbols of the southern coast of Crimea , so simply and sincerely glorified in one of Artek's songs.

One of the most spectacular protected landscapes of the Crimea is Cape Ai-Todor. Its three rocky spurs, like a huge trident of Neptune, crash into the sea. The central spur of the cape, also known as "Monastyr-Burun" (i.e. "Monastic Cape") is striking in its beauty. It was here that during the Middle Ages the monastery of St. Theodore was located, from which the toponym Ai-Todor comes. And for more than a hundred years, one of the most recognizable Crimean sights, the Swallow's Nest, has been rising on the eastern outskirts of the middle spur.
No less remarkable is the southernmost and at the same time the highest spur of the cape - the Ai-Todor spur itself, which has served as a guide for navigators since ancient times. Here, in 1835, a lighthouse was erected, which has not only survived to this day, but is still successfully functioning. The age of the trees surrounding the ancient navigation structure has also passed the age limit.
Ai-Todor with its sheer cliffs is a massif practically inaccessible from the sea. The only convenient pier is a small but very picturesque bay located between the spurs, where regular boats moor.

Koyashskoye Lake is a unique natural landmark of the Kerch Peninsula. It is located on the territory of the Opuksky Reserve, where the virgin steppe meets the sea. Nearby are the Uzunlar Lake, Cape and Mount Opuk.
The drainless lake of estuary origin with salt water cannot boast of large sizes: its area is only 5 sq.m, and the depth does not exceed 1 m. The reason for this unusual natural phenomenon was the microparticles produced by the Dunaliella salina algae growing at the bottom of the lake - one of the few organisms that can survive in such saline conditions. Not only water is colored, but also salt crystals, which also acquire the aroma of violets. In spring, a bright pink lake surrounded by flowering steppe is especially picturesque. In summer, the water evaporates, leaving real salt icebergs on the sand.

The most full-flowing waterfall of Crimea is located in the vicinity of Alushta, in the mysterious high-mountain gorge Khapkhal, overgrown with dense forest. The average volume of water thrown out by him is 250-270 liters per second! Created a waterfall flowing through the gorge, at an altitude of 468 m above sea level, the river Ulu-Uzen East, starting on the slopes of Dzhemerdzhi-yayla and flowing into the Black Sea.
The unique attraction has the uncomplicated name "Dzhur-Dzhur", which comes from the onomatopoeia of murmuring water. Indeed, the waterfall does not subside for a minute. Even in a dry summer, a powerful stream of water falls from a fifteen-meter height into a huge pit and then swiftly rushes along the bed of a mountain river. Along with the water flow, stones also fly down, so you should not get close to the waterfall. It is better to admire this miracle of nature from a distance. Not far from the waterfall is a cave of the same name, surrounded by forest.

The natural boundary between the Koktebel Bay and the Quiet Bay is Cape Chameleon. Today it is a narrow high ridge, which has a very unusual silhouette. Thanks to the ancient maps of the Crimea, it is known that the cape became like this centuries later: the part of the land formed by clay rocks, eroded by the sea and rains, has significantly decreased in size over time.
The cape was named Chameleon because of its phenomenal ability to change shades depending on the lighting. So, in the morning you can observe a gray-blue color. But at sunset, the sun's rays "color" the rocks in golden, gradually turning into purple and blue hues.

Rock Diva
This is a limestone block that fell thousands of years ago in this place to the bottom of the Black Sea. Water and wind worked on this rock, giving it the shape of a female bust, which clearly looms from the side of the city beach.
There is a legend that this is not a rock at all, but an evil spirit that turned into a beautiful girl with flowing hair. So evil under the influence of good forces became a stone.
