Sometimes you want to be transported from a noisy city to a quiet, peaceful place where only the sound of the wind will be heard. Fortunately, our Crimea is so diverse that there are enough such places here. There are peaks and yayles on the peninsula, from which such a magnificent view opens up that sometimes it is even difficult to hold back tears.
Chatyr-Dag
The giant tent is separated from the other Crimean mountains on all sides and is located to the north of them, so it seems that it towers over the entire peninsula. The slopes of Chatyr-Dag are a favorite place for tourists. And this is not surprising. After all, a breathtaking view opens up from the top of Chatyr-Dag.
Demerdzhi
The valley of ghosts is known for its bizarre figures. There are more than a hundred stone "ghosts" here. But that's not all. The view from this mountain to the South Bank is no less beautiful.
Arbor of the winds
The Pavilion of the Winds on Shagan-kaya in the Crimean Nature Reserve, built back in the time of Khrushchev, is very popular among tourists. The view is breathtaking. Here it seems as if you are standing on top of the world, because clouds often get stuck here and the South Coast seems to be buried in a haze.
Ak-Kaya
The history of the snow-white natural fortress is rich in significant events. Once the mountain was under water, at the bottom of the boundless ancient ocean. The special beauty of the White Rock attracts filmmakers - feature films are often shot here. A path leads to Ak-Kaya along the eastern corner ledge. In some places, the ascent makes travelers sweat a lot, but the efforts are rewarded with a stunning view.
Belbek valley
Bakhchisaray and its environs are rich in wonderful views. A special place among them is occupied by the Belbek Canyon - a very picturesque place, striking with its calm, powerful strength. The view of the canyon and the villages located in it opens from the observation deck on the highway.
