Massandra left me the most pleasant impressions. This little urban type village, quite well-kept, quiet and beautiful.
Usually everyone goes to massand on wine tasting. After all, the village is famous for its own winery. Here are the oldest wine plants. Wine collection, many of which are stored in the farm basements Many dozen years are unique and even listed in the Guinness Book of Records. Here you can come on a tour of the main basement - a tasting complex, and see how wines are created. In short, lovers and connoisseurs of good wine must be visible in Massandra.
But personally I really like the climate and nature in Massandra.
I really liked the Massandrovsky Forest Park in the Lower Massandra. A huge area is engaged by amazing plants, trees, exotic shrubs. What is the smell, what air! You can not only wander, but also relax on the benches, eat in a cafe. The entrance to the park is free.
For the first time in many years of traveling in the Crimea, I visited Massandrovsky Grotto. It is also called Vorontsov grotto. This is also, of course, for lovers of natural attractions. Although for those who are interested in history, this place will be interesting.
Well, of course, if you eat in these places, you need to visit the Massandrovsky Palace.
Now this is a museum, which is surrounded by forest and park, one of the branches of the palace and park reserve. All days the museum is open until 18.00, only on Monday there is a day off. You can see the palace yourself, but we took the excursion and did not regret! The excursion lasts a little more than an hour, it is very interesting. For an additional fee (30 rubles), you can shoot on a video or a camera.
Massandra village small and to any object here is easily accessible. The buses from Yalta and Alushta go regularly, and on the village itself you can go. And on your car is generally very convenient - everything can be rided and see.
The infrastructure of the village is rather developed, there is everything you need - shops, cafes, hairdressers, pharmacy, ATMs.
If you take housing in Massandra, then the only minus is far away to the sea. Although for hiking lovers - the most! Walk and breathe clean air is very helpful and very nice. Yes, and rental prices apartments and rooms here in the season is much cheaper than in the center of Yalta. Housing for tourists here a lot and for every taste - mini-hotels, hotels, guest houses. Rest in Massandra is suitable for those who love silence, nature and privacy. Moreover, relaxing here is great at any time of the year!
