Bakhchisarai was the first city in the Crimea, which I visited, not counting the Simferopol, in which the train arrived. In it, we lived with a friend of four days, of course not enough to understand the entire culture and mentality of the people living there. We arrived, hoping that in place we would settle. So it happened, right at the station, a valid look of the landlord, we have been viewed and are inexpensive for inexpensive prices, and already on the road realized that there would be someone to live with us. But on vacation amenities are not important, we did not upset. In the end, to wash in the summer soul, it is also not bad, and the third unnecessary to us has not been hijacked.
This is a small town, it has, as in a fairy tale about Ellie, the central road, from which brick? Right, yellow! About this landmark told us the housing housing, explaining the road to the center.
The whole Crimea earns in summer on tourists. And getting here for the first time, you do not get tired of wondering how everything is connected. Seel, you already give a visit to a taxi driver, they say where to go to eat, and say that they came from such. The taxi driver is waiting for the while you eat and lucky, where to say, strongly recommended on foot, do not walk. Catch a new taxi driver, he advises the most delicious cafe in the city and brings them back back, and there again advise to settle our hostess. I wanted to go to the next cafe and, from curiosity, find out what they had a pie handpiece.
The road from the yellow brick led us, of course, to the Khan's Palace. There was a little time, and we are not lover of waste time on a sunny day, licking the leg behind excursion crowds around the halls, entrance to each of which is worth individual money.
Therefore, we went to a minibus (half an hour walk, checked next year) to the Holy Assumption male monastery, carved in the rock like in the Crimea a whole set, but this very popular here. Little room, photo, video is prohibited, at the entrance are not only kinks, girls on the head, but also long skirts. Apparently, the summer robe of tourists is not regulated by the norms of behavior. And the monks have a good farm in the next and it is growing every year.
Even further the road on Chufut-Kale. The amazing secrets of the cave city are opening. There are even unique underground facilities.
We were so hurrying everywhere to do inheritance in our apartment, said that we will not be able to embrace. Allegedly everything closes so early that we can take a shower, sleep from the road and go in the evening for dinner in a cafe, and from the new day to start an inspection. But it was not there. Two desperate travelers in the sunset rays came to the mysterious ruins of the city. They persuaded let us let us down that we quickly examine the miracle of the cave town and all that we still need? Amazing panoramic view from the opposite side of the parties is that, for what it was worth climbing here, and one of the recognizable types of Bakhchisaray. It was not very possible to inspect a lot, it began to darken. I had to be collected back. It became clear that the ancient cemetery, located between the monastery and the town we no longer visit, and not because they are afraid, just that day there were not even the moon and the pitch darkness literally pulled eyes.
When we moved towards the ruins of the ancient town, there was a fork on the way, leading in the celi monks. A young boy, seller of teas, said that among the local monks a lot of runaway prisoners, and in general it is better not to walk on that road. So, the closer we approached that fork under the cover of the night, it became worse. My companion was afraid of the forester, and I am monks. The taxi driver was very surprised to our appearance, confirmed that my fears were not in vain and advised to stay away from here, two young girls especially.
That was my trip to Bakhchisarai. City with other culture, national cuisine, delicious oriental sweets, spices in each souvenir shop. Tea, you will buy, do not buy dried grass, look at your choice. Even the seller himself, the same boy, advised - dishonest to hand manage to have gullible tourists. And do not forget to gain water in the source near the monastery of water, at least on the nearest road of a hot summer day.
In a year, I brought here my friend, show the local beauty, to acquaint with the kitchen, and make the kitchen. Nothing has changed here. Panorama still remained the best memories of the whole city. Artificial Ozerko in the Khansky Palace discovered.
We still got on the cemetery and did not understand where the sights were actually. Several stones and that's it. Most likely it is it. The same perplexed look was the tourists who asked in English - "Is that all?".
And in the town created the park miniature of the whole Crimea. The park is small and cute. Inside, we were not, the park itself is located in the lowland and perfectly visible all the miniatures. Cute, but why pay for the entrance when you can admire from published and go to inspect these sights Vyzhvoy.
