Day 3 - Foros Park, Baydarsky pass, Skelskaya cave
Breakfast.
The decoration of the Crimea is the parks of the southern coast.
We suggest visiting one of them — Foros Park, which was founded in the XIX century by tea magnate A.M. Kuznetsov. Today it belongs to the sanatorium "Foros".
The park is well maintained and well equipped.
The most amazing corner of the park is the Paradise, a picturesque cascade of several ponds with water lilies, waterfalls, rifts and bridges.
Goldfish splash in the ponds and turtles bask in the sun.
Now there are more than 200 species of trees, flowers and shrubs growing in the park, including both Crimean and exotic ones.
The upper part of the park is a real forest.
Further along the route we will go to the Baydar pass, where a stone portico — the Baydar Gate was built back in 1848. Today it is a viewing platform.
We will visit the Church of the Resurrection of Christ above Foros.
The pearl of the southern coast of Crimea is built on a steep cliff, at an altitude of 400 m above sea level in honor of the miraculous rescue of Alexander III and his family in a train crash at Borki station near Kharkov. Architect N.M. Chagin.
The natural pearl of Crimea is the Baydar Valley. This is a picturesque valley framed by the Crimean mountains.
It is called Crimean Switzerland. Tourists will be able to see this for themselves.
After a short walk along the very picturesque canyon of the Uzundzha River with stops for photos, we will visit the Skel cave, the kingdom of stalactites and stalagmites.
There are no identical or similar caves: each one is unique. The flowing forms of the Skel cave are unique!
The cave is equipped with 5 halls for visiting: Fireplace, Dolphin, Knight, Organ and Hall of Ghosts.
The cave is decorated with stalactites, among them are just emerging, and meter-high pillars, and stalagnates.
The successful illumination of the "stone castle" creates optical images.
The pride of the cave: a giant 7-meter stalagmite "Knight with a spear".
Return to Sevastopol to the hotel.
Day 4 - Cave towns and monasteries of the mountainous Crimea
Breakfast.
Check out of the hotel.
A tour of the mountainous Crimea.
Moving through the mountainous Crimea, admiring the panoramas from the bus windows.
The first stop is near the village of Ternovka.
We admire the cave monastery of Chelter Marmara (translated as "lattice").
The cave monastery is located on the cliff of Chelter Kaya Mountain. There are more than 50 caves located in four tiers: cells, refectory, utility and utility rooms, 4 temples.
In the viewport, the monastery looks like an openwork lattice.
Through the windows of the bus we admire the golden dome of the chapel, this is the Shuldan monastery on Mount Shuldan-Burun at an altitude of 515 m above sea level.
The next stop is at Lake Mangup, near the village of Hadji Sala.
The cave town of Mangup-Kale is located on the plateau of the Mangup Mountains. Another stop is in the village of Zalesnoye.
We admire the Sphinxes of the Karalez valley. 14 stone sculptures from 8 to 15 m high, created by nature.
Everyone sees something different in these figures. Some statues have names: Yukle-Kaya (Pregnant), Syuryu-Kaya (Pointed Rock), Chuyun-Kaya (Skull rock), Sandyk-Kaya (Chest) and Shapke-Kaya (Hat).
Relaxing by the lake.
Lunch at the oriental cafe (a la carte order for an additional fee).
Then stop at the Crocodile Mountain.
The mountain looks like a huge reptile: you can see the head, eyes, paws and tail. The mountain seems to be a "crocodile" only from a considerable distance, so at the entrance to it we make a stop for a photo on the viewing platform.
A walk on the mountain. Height 310 m above sea level, length 500 m.
The path runs along the "back" of the stone reptile from the "nose" to the "tail", allowing you to enjoy the surrounding landscapes.
The panorama is amazing, because the mountain is located on the border of the Belbek and Karalez valleys.
Transfer to Simferopol.
The end of the tour.
