Alupka is located on the southern coast of Crimea and is one of the favorite places of recreation on the Black Sea coast. It is enough to remember that Alupka is a national health resistant, where more than 20 different hospitals and sanatoriums are located. And this is no accident - because the location of the city at the foot of the mountain Ai-Petri guarantees protection from strong winds, and stretching along the coast of the Black Sea makes the city even more attractive for vacationers. It is worth noting the picturesque landscape of the city. Walk around the city by itself - a pleasant excursion.
Resting in Alupka can be visited not one interesting place and many entertaining excursions. You can, for example, sign up for fifteen hourly sea overview for Big Yalta, which includes a visit to several attractions of the Yalta Bay, and not just the cities of Alupka.
You will be offered to visit Swirl Nest, Alupkinsky Park, Vorontsov Palace, walk along the Yalta embankment ... This tour will cost 15 dollars, but does not provide for the organization of nutrition during an excursion. You can walk around the sea by purchasing a ticket for a less long excursion on the embankment - the price depends on the duration and includes the presence of a guide on a boat that will tell about the city and its attractions.
If you get in Alupka, you will certainly visit the famous Vorontsov Palace with its amazing park from which a magnificent view of the top of the mountain ah-petri offers.
Alupkinsky Park occupied an area of 40 hectares and is a single natural architectural ensemble with the Vorontsov Palace, which is very popular with tourists. The park is divided into natural zones, which are corners who collect samples of the flora of various continents of the planet. Surprisingly, it worked well here and plants from South and North America feel great, from the countries of the East and the North. All of them are planted by the creators taking into account the local landscape and the presence of rock sticks in the open ground.
In fact, this park is a natural museum. After inspecting the park, you can go to the palace, where experienced guides will spend all those who want the halls of the palace and tell the story of each room. From the palace, you can get to the lion's terrace, which adjoins the southern part of the palace and is a staircase protected by sculptures of marble lions.
Excursions to the palace and in the park you can buy separately, and you can complete - it will be somewhat cheaper.
Very interesting will be an excursion to the top of the mountain Ai-Petri. It should be borne in mind that this route is very popular, and the funicular cabin accommodates only 35 people. Therefore, it is better not to use the cable road in both directions - all day will have to spend on simple in queues. It is much more sensible to one of the parties to the special route taxis - the price is the same, but the driver on the way spends its additional excursion with stops on the viewing platforms and from sources with spring water. Going to Ai-Petri, you need to be ready for the fact that there is its own infrastructure with a huge amount of entertainment and cafe. Feed on Ai-Petri Local Tatars Madly Delicious dishes of national cuisine - Dalma, Lagman, Lulle-kebab, kebab, pilaf and other goodies. The main thing is all the freshest, preparing before serving to the table. National sweets are offered here, and homemade wines of excellent quality, and a chance - all this can be purchased on export in special bottles. Entertainment on Ai-Petri is also very unusual and varied - from walks on horseback and camels to extreme sports.
An interesting visit to one of the caves on the top plateau of ah-petri may be engaged. In general, the caves there are about three hundred, however, only two are equipped for excursions - the truder and Yalta.
