- directly to Balaklava;
- Inkerman and its main attraction - the cave monastery;
- the ruins of Kalamita, a beautiful fortress built in the Middle Ages;
- a factory of vintage wines, tasting the products of which leaves a sweet aftertaste for sightseers.
The Gagarinsky district offers its historical monuments, it is here that the Tauric Chersonesos, a unique archaeological complex, is located. Now it is a national reserve. The most beautiful bays of Sevastopol are located in the same area, so walking around the city can be combined with relaxing on the sea coast.
