Wide beaches with golden sand and a palisade of cypress trees on the way to the sea, a view of Ai-Petri from the park of the Vorontsov Palace and a little mermaid in the foamy surf of Miskhor, fearless ships in the Sevastopol roadstead and apricots flowing with honey in the Simeiz market …
Today Crimea is as beautiful as it was many decades ago, and its popularity among travelers with good taste does not lend itself to any exotic provocations from far and near abroad. No special permits or visas are required to travel to Crimea. It is enough just to imagine a salty sea wave and hear the cries of seagulls, whose wings are transparent through and through in the generous southern sun.
