The Crimean peninsula attracts tourists not only with its beach resorts and unique climate. Since ancient times, Crimea has been considered one of the most beautiful places in the world. What places are worth visiting for tourists who are going to relax in Crimea?
1. For many years, the Swallow's Nest, which is located on Cape Ai-Todor, not far from Yalta, has been considered the hallmark of Crimea. The first mention of this castle appeared at the end of the nineteenth century. Despite the fact that due to strong earthquakes, the castle was slightly destroyed, tourists can still visit it. After all, it will not take much time to review the Swallow's Nest, but the views that open from a height of twelve meters will be remembered for a long time.
2. One of the most visited and beautiful places on the southern coast of Crimea is the Livadia Palace, which previously belonged to the Russian Emperor Nicholas II. This palace is unique in that four different styles are involved in the construction of its facade. Here tourists can spend a lot of time just walking around the territory of the palace and park ensemble.
3. The third place is taken by the Genoese fortress, which is located in the eastern part of the Crimea, in the city of Sudak. It is unique in that it was erected as a fortification back in the tenth century during the Byzantine era. This is one of the most ancient structures that have survived to this day in the Crimea. Tourists can not only walk along the walls of the Genoese fortress, but also get acquainted with the exposition, which is located in the museum of the mosque.
4. Another beautiful place, located on the southern coast of the Crimea, is the Nikitsky Botanical Garden, founded in 1812. Nowadays it is a real reserve, which invites tourists not only to get acquainted with the collection of plants that were collected from all over the world; but also walk through the green labyrinth and visit the tropical butterfly garden.
5. The five most beautiful places in Crimea are closed by the Massandra Palace, located near Yalta. This palace was used as a summer residence by Alexander III. The palace is unique not only for its architecture, but also for its interior decoration, because each hall is made in a certain style. Tourists who have chosen this place for an excursion will also be able to taste Massandra wines, which are considered one of the best on the territory of the Crimean peninsula.
