Yalta, Crimea, Ukraine
Visiting the Crimean Peninsula you will be enchanted by its indescribable beauty forever. Here you can find the great mountains, endless sea, and spiky fields. In these places, nature is skillfully interwoven with civilization. My advice for you is not to dwell only on visiting Yalta. Try sparkling red wine in Koktebel, see the sunset in Alupka, and conquer the top of Ai Petri! Take a one-day - two-days excursion to nearby cities and feel the whole local flavor!
Since 2014, the territory of the Crimea Peninsula has been occupied by the Russian Federation. Nevertheless, tourist recreation exists here and is safe for tourists.
At the moment, Yalta and all Crimean Peninsula can be reached only from Russia and by bus from Ukraine.
