Crimea is a place where everything is fine for discussion in the forum travelers club on our website.

Crimea is popular for its historical past, architectural decoration of cities and stunning natural landscapes. On this peninsula, it is impossible to ignore such legendary cities as Simferopol, Alushta, Sevastopol, Yevpatoria, etc. The cities are famous for their cultural heritage and picturesque landscapes of the surrounding area. 

The hero city of Sevastopol is the place of glory of Russian weapons and the main base of the Black Sea Fleet of Russia. Grafskaya Pier is the first pier of the city and its business card. An even more popular attraction of the city is the monument to the submerged ships. It was installed in Artbukhta after the first defense of Sevastopol. And the background is that the ships fell to the death of the brave, closing the entrance to the bay. They prevented the invasion of the enemy Anglo-French naval squadron.

Yevpatoria is considered a place of attraction of recreation for the younger generation. There are many sanatoriums and health camps concentrated here. The city is visited by several thousand children annually. One of the most popular attractions of Yevpatoria can rightfully be considered the Yevpatoria Dolphinarium - a large and modern dolphinarium in the Crimea. 

In Yevpatoria, it is worth paying attention to the Lost World Park, which opened its doors in 2016. The park consists of several parts in which you can take memorable photos. The area of the young archaeologist stands out in particular. Here, under a layer of sand, fossils of prehistoric animals are hidden and everyone can dig them out with a brush and a shovel, feel like a real archaeologist. 

The city of Kerch is the eastern gate of the Russian peninsula. This is the first city that tourists come across when crossing the Crimean Bridge. In the city, special attention should be paid to the ruins of the ancient Panticapaeum, although at first the main purpose of the excavations was to find treasures. However, as the years passed, priorities changed and the ruins acquired historical significance, which has been preserved to this day. Here are some more of the popular attractions that every tourist should visit: the Ajimushkai quarries and the Tsar's Kurgan. These war memorials have preserved their integrity and beauty.

In the city of Simferopol there are two cultures (Byzantine and Turkic), which are closely intertwined and surprisingly combined with each other. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is a place with an amazing history. Its foundation was laid back in 1787, but it was consecrated only in 1829. The reasons for this were the deaths and murders of emperors, the war with Napoleon. The cathedral literally endured many hardships: before the revolution it was rebuilt several times, in Soviet times it was blown up. In 2009, it was restored and became an active church again. 

There are many cities on the Crimean Peninsula with their unique sights that are worth visiting. For example, Gurzuf, Partenit, Feodosia, Golden, etc. The Travelers Club, the forum that you are reading, can open up new horizons for you in traveling around the island and suitable travel life hacks.
