Explore Crimea and the Black Sea
Hot sun, sparkling sea, blooming trees and flowers.
Every time you come to the Black Sea and Crimea (Crim in Ukrainian) they never stop to amaze you. You get on the train in Kiev in the evening and arrive next morning in a different world.
Especially strongly you feel this contrast in April: hot sun, sparkling sea, blooming trees and flowers, lazy cats lying in the sun... After a pretty cold winter somewhere in the central part of Ukraine I am always tempted to be one of those cats. Just lie in the sun and do nothing. What a life!

Without any exaggeration one can say that the Crimean Peninsula is one of the most dramatically beautiful coastal areas in the world. Nowhere else on earth will you find such incredible combination of varied scenery and climate , uncommon vegetation and animals, the greatest opportunities for tourism and spa resorts in such a small territory. Somebody called Crimea "the Earth in miniature".

The history of this land is even richer than its nature. Each tourist area of Crimea you visit reminds you of Crimean history which goes back hundreds and thousands of years. It is an amazing feeling to realize that the stones you touch, somebody put there many centuries before you came on the Earth. The oldest Crimean city Kerch was founded more than 2,600 years ago. Feodosiya is not much younger. It was founded more than 2,500 years ago.
