Day 4 - Foros Church, Sevastopol, Balaklava
It is impossible to come to Crimea and not visit Sevastopol!
The road to Sevastopol will take an unusual route. Driving along the most beautiful road in Crimea, we will turn towards the largest, most fertile, most beautiful, and in summer, the greenest valley of Crimea – Baydarskaya. Is the word "most" too much? After seeing the beauty of the valley, you will agree with us.

Day 5 - Valley of Ghosts, departure
That's the final day of the Crimean New Year's adventure.
Do you remember the beautiful Demerdzhi, whom you saw through the windows of the bus on the first day of the trip? That's where we're going. Our way lies to the village of Luchistoe at the foot of the "Kuznets Mountain".
Mountain Demerdzhi is one of the most picturesque in Crimea. By nature itself, wind and rain, stone sculptures of the Valley of Ghosts were created on the mountainside.
Huge stone figures resemble figures of animals, mysterious creatures, depending on the time of day and lighting, their images change, giving rise to fantasy.
