💡 Tips
- Visit the Aivazovskoye Park (Paradise Garden) early in the morning to enjoy the lush greenery before the crowds arrive.
- Hike up Ayu-Dag (Bear Mountain) for spectacular coastal views, but make sure to wear sturdy hiking shoes for the rocky trails.
- Use the local marshrutkas (minibuses) for an affordable and convenient way to visit nearby Yalta or Alushta.
- The beaches are mostly pebbly and very clean; bring water shoes to make getting into the sea more comfortable.
- Look for the 'Bear' silhouette from the sea, the mountain looks exactly like a giant bear drinking from the Black Sea.
