Sudak - Sunny, warm town on the east coast of the Crimean Peninsula. The city is considered one of the oldest cities in Europe, which was called Sidagios, Suggy, Soldier, Surozh, historical sources will reach his creation of the III century, and this is a big find for historians and archaeologists.
In addition to the historical and cultural attractions of Sudak, which I will describe below, for any rest, of course, in the first place, there remains warm Black Sea and luxurious mountain views, unlimited steppe spaces and air impregnated with smells of wormwood and relic juniper.
For tourists who came to Sudak and who are not able to travel to the south coast of Crimea, the city and its surroundings are provided for viewing many interesting natural and historical attractions. As well as recruiting the most popular wine and gastronomic tours of this region.
The most interesting places in Sudak and its surroundings
- Genoese fortress - Business card of the city. This is one of the most ancient fortification structures, it has witnessed many historical events related to the city of Sudak, and that the most amazing, after the Crimean and Great Patriotic War, to this day, has retained its appearance better than all such fortresses in the Crimea. The fortress is simply impossible not to notice, vacationers on the beach can admire the whole day all day, and in the evening walking along the embankment, the night lights makes it very romantic. Many, instead of holding time in bars and restaurants, arrange evening gatherings in majestic walls with panoramic views of the entire Sudak bay. Every rest in Sudak at least once visited her inside, it can be done independently or with a guide, which is much more interesting. Vacationers, very much love to walk and arrange photossias from her walls, but keep in mind, as it is a fortification, then the name speaks for itself, be careful of her southern borders, to not break from the cliff. The Genoese was built a fortress in such a way that to provide protection from all sides to the maximum. From the south side, the fortress guards the sheer rock, which opens a good overview to the Black Sea. Like any castle, the fortress has its own legends, of course, associated with unfortunate love and the tragic end, but let it remain a secret, and you will hear it, being at one of the towers. I want to note that there are three Genoese fortresses in the Crimea, the first and most successful in Sudak, the second in Feodosia, unfortunately, the remnants in the form of a pair of towers and walls in a very poor condition, and the third in Balaclava, has the name of the quambal, there too Only the remnants that are rushing every year.
Every year in Sudak, the festival of knight art is held. Swords are ringing in the medieval courtyard, the blacksmith anvil will rattling, Rzhana Horse is heard. For the week, archers, crossbars, knights compete here. Every day is usually dedicated to the new topic: Blacksmiths, artisans, dancers, participants of knightly tournaments - everyone shows their skills. I think this theatrical representation will be wondering both adults and children.
