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

Cape Meganom is the next goal of New Year's trekking. Ancient and mighty, it is located between Koktebel and Sudak, and its mystical appearance more resembles a deserted peninsula.

There are legends about Meganom, it is considered a place of power, they even built a kind of Temple of the Sun here, around which adherents of various religions gather annually, who piously believe in the miraculous power of these expanses.

We will walk from the old lighthouse along the quiet bays of Meganoma, admire their primitive charm and see the bent figures of Penitent monks, frozen in penitential prayer several centuries ago.

The active part of the tour: 12.1 km, altitude difference of 20-110 m, trekking duration of 6-7 hours.

Today, the first thing we will do is go to Rhinoceros Mountain. The second name of the unique rock is Karaul–Oba.

The Taurians lived on it a long time ago and left behind a lot of interesting artifacts, in particular, a mysterious stone labyrinth and solid steps cut into the rock.

We will walk along the trails of Adam's Lodge, as well as to the observation deck, from where three Novosvetsky bays are perfectly visible.

The first one we will see is the Blue Lagoon, on the shore of which Tsarsky Beach quietly rests in the cozy Crimean winter.

Next, you can see the Robber Bay, striking deep blue, as well as the main settlement lagoon – Green.

The active part of the tour: 5.5 km, altitude difference 30-340-30 m, trekking duration 7-8 hours.

Today, the hike will take place in the favorite places of the famous winemaker Prince Golitsyn.

Trekking through a juniper grove awaits us, which always pleases with the smell of pine needles.

Going out to Cape Kapchik, we will admire the extraordinary Crimean nature, beautiful at any time of the year.

Cape Kapchik remains behind and trekking moves to a different location – now we will walk along a path cut down more than a hundred years ago, along which he himself and even Emperor Nicholas II walked.

The trail ends near the Green Bay, and then we will go to the champagne factory founded by Prince Golitsyn – there those who wish can buy branded drinks that amaze the whole world with their taste qualities.

The active part of the tour: 4.5 km, altitude difference of 30-130-30 m, trekking duration of 3-4 hours.

The top of Mount Sokol, formerly a coral reef that once emerged from the depths of the sea, is a gorgeous observation deck of the New World.

On the way to an altitude of 474 meters above sea level, tourists will meet a source about which there are many legends. It is called the key of St. Anastasia.

From the top, the traveler can see 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 tour in Crimea: 7.4 km, altitude difference 30-474 m, trekking duration 5-6 hours.

In case of bad weather conditions, the instructor can replace trekking on Sokol Rock with a walk on Pepper Mountain.

The Genoese Fortress is the last point of our walk along the southeastern tip of the Crimean peninsula.

The business card of the city is the majestic citadel, in the walls of which Genoese, Tatars, Polovtsians, Golden Horde and ancient Alans ruled 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.
