New Year's days in Crimea. Sudak and the New World

33 more

Crimea in winter is special, unique, New Year's Eve! We used to associate it with the gentle sun and the warm sea, but this blessed land can be completely different – moderately harsh, shrouded in a haze of refreshing, cool breeze.

At this time of the year, you can feel the real, touching soul of the peninsula, see the majestic mountains, listen to the unusually silent beaches and alleys dusted with pearl snowflakes.

Itinerary

Day 1 - Sudak city, eco-trail to Cape Alchak
10:00 Meeting at the railway station in Vladislavovka village. This is the nearest railway station to Sudak, through which all trains to Crimea go.
Transfer to Sudak (about 1-1.5 hours).
After settling into a cozy hotel, we will stroll through the picturesque streets of a half-asleep city dressed in festive tinsel, look into shops selling fragrant rose oil and delicious vintage wine.
Next, the trekking starts at Cape Alchak, the most famous in Sudak.
This place is, without exaggeration, sacred for Sudak residents and guests – there is an ecotrope along the tip of the cape, from where in winter you can see deserted wild beaches and a cool, dark sapphire sea with white tufts of incoming waves.
Next, we will go to the mysterious grotto, in which the invisible host, the god of the winds, Aeolus, has settled since ancient times. The through–hole cave is called the Aeolian Harp.
From here you can perfectly see the Genoese Citadel, the main beach of Sudak and the snow-covered surrounding cliffs.
Winter tours of Crimea are not complete without a photo session, and the pictures of dormant nature are even more amazing than the summer rainbow of colors.

On the way to an altitude of 474 meters above sea level, tourists will encounter a source about which there are many legends. It is called the key of St. Anastasia.
From the top, the traveler can enjoy a panorama of the southeastern Crimea, dusted with New Year's snow: the majestic Genoese fortress, numerous capes and mountains, similar to grotesque animals and birds, instantly frozen under the gaze of the Gorgon, and of course, the views of the village of Novy Svet, nestled at the foot of the Falcon.
The active part of the Crimea tour: 7.4 km, altitude difference 30-474 m, trekking duration 5-6 hours.

The Genoese Fortress is the last point of our walk along the southeastern tip of the Crimean peninsula.
The visiting card of the city is the majestic citadel, which was ruled by the Genoese, Tatars, Cumans, Golden Horde and ancient Alans in different eras, covered with a snow cap and decorated with an ice necklace, looks unforgettable.
From the height of the fortress walls, you can see the surrounding distances and the Black Sea, which, sometimes rampant, takes the Genoese fortress into a real siege, surrounding it with wild, primitive dances of rapid raids of blue-opal waves.
