Crimea Explore Crimea with Olyanna Travel on a tailored tour of this spectacular peninsular in the Black Sea. The Crimea and Yalta form the exotic ‘Russian Riviera’. This is home to the Tatars and their Asiatic culture—tasty barbecued shashlick and relaxing hookah pipes!
Sudak is a dramatic spot with its grand castle perched high above the glistening blue sea. This was where silk arrived overland from China and traded within the vast crenulated walls.
Swimming in the warm turquoise sea is great. The clean pebble beaches are surrounded by pine clad mountains which offer excellent walking in breathtaking scenery. 
The charming ancient Uspensky monastery built into the limestone cliff near Chufut kale - a spectacular cave 'city' that provided refuge through the ages from Tatar to Jew.
As well as Yalta the region has lots of other fascinating places to visit for example the cave cities of Chufut Kale and Manhup Kale or Sudak and its impressive Genoese fortress on the old silk road. Novy Svit has great beaches and famous Champagne cellars . And a visit to the Khan’s Palace at Bakhchysaray the medieval Tatar capital is a must.
