Only Feodosia from the Northern Black Sea costal region has preserved its antique name. This antique town was founded on the verge of the 6th century BC by the natives of the region of Asia Minor Milet. Soon a new city state with convenient harbor situated on the fertile land had changed into an important center of the Mediterranean trade. The city received the name Feodosia ('given by God') in the first half of the 4 th century BC. Since that time it had become the part of the Bospor Kingdom. The further history of antique Feodosia was connected with Greek barbaric Bospor Power. Feodosia was one of the main centers of grain trade of Bospor. According to a legend an apprentice of Jesus Christ Andrei Pervosvanny had visited the city. The last record of antique Feodosia refers to the middle of the 1st century A.D. We have the evidence of contemporaries that in 5-6 centuries the city was called Ardabda'The city of seven Gods'. And further narration of the history of the city refers to the 13th century when Genoa founded its trading station in the place of antique Feodosia. And the new city was renamed Kaffa by the name of its area. Foreign property of Genoa connected Western Europe, ancient Russian lands and Eastern countries. In the 14* century Kaffa became the capital of Black Sea costal property of Genoa, the biggest city of Northern Black Sea costal region, in which a few tens of thousands of people had lived. Since 1318 Kaffa had become the center of catholic eparchy, and at the beginning of the 14' century Armenian-Gregorian bishop was positioned there. In 1475 the former Genoese property in Crimea passed to the power of the Osman Empire. Kaffa (Kefe, 'Kuchuk-Stambul', 'Yarym-Stambul', 'Crimea-Stambul', Kefa), the biggest Crimean city and important economical and cultural center of the region became the capital of Osman property on the peninsular. At the beginning of the 17th century the city became one of the main centers of Gothic Orthodox eparchy. In 1771 during the years of Russian-Turkish war Kaffa was conquered by Russian farces. In the 70-80 years of the 18th century the residence of the last Crimean khan Shagin-Girey was situated there. In 1783 the city became the part of the Russian Empire. In 1784 an ancient Greek name 'Feodosia' was turned to the city. At the beginning of the 19th century the city experienced a short period of impetuous evolution in the area of Feodosian authorities. But on the whole, this century was not very successful for Feodosia. A true prosperity was achieved only after building a railway station in 1892 and a sea port in middle of 1890. By 20lh century Feodosia had become one of the prominent sea ports of Russian Empire and significant trade and economic centers of Northern Black Sea costal region. In the 19th century the city turned into one of the cultural centers, in 1811 a Feodosian museum of antiquity was opened. Now it is the oldest museum in the area of modern Ukrain. In 1880 an Art Gallery of a world famous marine painter I.K.Aivazovsky started to welcome first visitors. In the second half of the 19th century Feodosia had become not only educational center with a lot of educational institutions, but also a sea health resort of moderate cost. But as a genuine health resort it fully developed only in the 20lh century. Feodosia keeps antique remains under the modern city, and somewhere in the city there are still medieval towers and ancient temples, a lot of monuments and memorable places. In the Soviet period Feodosia was the part of Crimean Autonomous Republic and Crimean region of RSFR and USSR. In the second half of the 20th century Feodosia became an important scientific center. Today's Feodosia is the part of Crimean Autonomous Republic, the greatest administrative, economic, scientific, cultural and historical center of South-Eastern Crimea, important Black Sea harbor of Ukraine and transport junction and health resort. The names of many prominent people are connected with Feodosia. This is the city-museum connecting different epochs, proud of National Art Gallery of the greatest marine painter Aivazovsky and unique literary museum of romantic writer Alexander Green and Feodosian regional museum, one of the ancient museums of Europe. Eternally young, Feodosia is one of the ancient cities of Europe, the history of which numbers 25 centuries Part or or all of this text stems from the original article at: www.kafanews.com ::::::::Sevastopol Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see x For a long time many tourists have been dreaming about visiting one of the most secret towns of the USSR, Sevastopol (Sebastopol) , that due to its military status, was closed not only to foreigners, but to Ukrainian tourists as well. And now you have an opportunity to visit the city that is still a base for the Russian and Ukrainian Navy and that has many secrets to share after so many years of silence. Sevastopol is located on a southwest extremity of the Crimean peninsula, where the hilly coast is cut up by ten bays. Situated on a beautiful bay, Sevastopol has everything you can imagine : bright sun, long beaches, green parks, romantic seaside cafes, and many sightseeing attractions ... and very special charm. For several thousand years this area mixed the history and culture of different nations ... brave and hardworking people. Archaeologists say that the tribes of Tavrs, Scythians and Sarmats were the first ones who had settlements in this area. Then over a period of 2,000 years (from the 5th Century BC to the 15th Century AD), the ancient Greeks (emigrants from Heraklea Pontiyskaya) ruled this place and built their city-state named Chersonese-Tavrichesky, which played an important role in the history of the northern Black Sea coast. Perhaps Sevastopol has the most colourful history of any city in the former Soviet Union. On February 10, 1784, shortly after Russia's long struggle for an entrance to the Black Sea was successfully completed (during the war with Turkey, which lasted from 1768 to 1774), a city fortress at the Black sea was built, and named Sevastopol. Born as naval base, Sevastopol has forever been connected to the fate of the Black Sea fleet. Many times since its founding, Sevastopol has been destroyed during different wars. The last time this happened, it was almost completely destroyed during its heroic defence at the time of the bloody World War II Nazi invasion. But Sevastopol has always risen from ruins and become even more beautiful. And the list of wonderful and unforgettable places which you can visit in or around Sevastopol is just endless: the Greek ruins of Chersonese ; the Russian Black Sea Fleet Museum and other galleries and museums; the Black Sea Aquarium , with a famous dolphin show; yacht sailings ; car trips to Bakhchisaray; the ancient city of Choufout-Kale; Foros Church; Yalta; and other places that you'll never forget, once you have visited them. We can say that with our help in arranging your tour and with good will, flexibility, and a sense of humour on your side, your visit to Sevastopol will become a wonderful adventure!

The limestone plateau at the south-eastern corner of the contemporary city was home to the capital of the late Scythean state, known to the ancient Greeks and Romans as Scythian Neapolis. With degradation of the trade routes and migration of the Scyths the city was abandoned, and its remnants were rediscovered in the middle of XIX century by chance. Contemporary Simferopol, "the gathering city", was founded in 1784 at the location nearby, on the banks of the river Salgir, the largest river on the Crimean peninsula, not far from existing Tatar settlement Ak-Mechet. The city was laid out by the Duke Potemkin, the richest and most influential aristocrat of the Russian Empire during the reign of the Ekaterina II. From the beginning the city was planned to be the centre of the newly founded Tavrichesky Region, which included Crimea and parts of southern Ukraine. The Russian colonization of Crimea went rapidly and was strongly backed by the government which wanted to reduce the demographic pressure in rural central Russia and Ukraine. The economical development and the city growth was boosted by the construction of the railway in the middle of XIX century which linked Simferopol to Kharkov, Moscow and St. Petersburg. The city played an active role in the events of the Civil war in Russia. First taken by the socialists who proclaimed the Tavric republic in 1919, the city was soon overtaken by the "Whites", the supporters of capitalist imperial Russia led by Vrangel, and was one of their last strongholds until their defeat in late 1920. The city was then turned into the capital of the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Republic. During the World War II, the city was occupied for 2,5 years, more than 22 thousand people were killed. After the liberation in 1944, Soviet government deported the Tatar population of the region (for the collaboration with the Nazis, as they claimed), and initiated the new colonization of the peninsula by Slavic population. The autonomy of the republic was abolished, Crimea became on ordinary region of the Russian Federative Republic, and later was transferred to the Ukrainian SSR in commemoration of the 300-th anniversary of Russian-Ukrainian unification. As Crimea went on with its development as a nation-wide resort, Simferopol turned to the hub of the Crimean region. The tourists from all corners of the country arrived at the railway station or airport and followed further to Southern Coast using a specially built trolleybus route (see picture). With the dissolution of the USSR, the predominantly Russian population of the peninsula requested the return of Crimea to Russia. The potential conflict was settled by granting the degree of autonomy to Crimea, but not completely. At the same time, the return of the Crimean Tatars in 90s resulted in growing national tensions. The economic situation harshened, as the industry stopped and the number of tourists decreased. Newer developments may potentially lead to reemergence of Simferopol as the major business centre of the peninsula. Simferopol nowadays is a large city with a busy life, but with only a small "historical city" district, mostly of XIX and beginning of XX century. Modest, but beautiful old districts are full of trees and surrounded by the park along the river Salgir. The city hosts a number of theatres, many restaurants and clubs, and is a major transit point for all tourists arriving at Crimea. The city authorities look forward to establish new museums and to present the complex history of the city to the visitor. Virtually all touristic Crimea is within few hours travel like e.g. coastal Alushta and Yalta (1,5-2 hours by trolleybus or minibus), Bakhchisarai with its Khan Palace, the old resort Yevpatoria and Sevastopol, the base of Russian Black Sea Navy and the historical city. ::::::::::Sudak Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see x City-health resort Sudak is situated in South-west seaside, in mountian chain Crimea mountian.

Livadia. jan wojtynski Steep mountain peaks serve as a lovely backdrop for Yalta the jewel of the Crimean peninsula and our favorite Ukrainian city. We’re not surprised that the writer Anton Chekhov would choose to live in this seaside resort—it seems to be a combination of Carmel California the French Riviera and Greece. Yalta (pop. 80 000) has exemplary resorts museums and beaches. Be sure to see Livadia the former Romanov vacation home (palace really) used for the World War II conference of Stalin Churchill and Roosevelt. Chekhov’s former residence has been turned into a museum; inside you’ll find the writer’s medical bag (from his days as a doctor) and the piano Rachmaninov played when he visited. Allow at least two (but preferably three) nights for relaxation. Just outside of Yalta set on a hilltop beside the ocean are the Nikitsky Botanical Gardens which boast 1 600 varieties of roses and a very good restaurant/club. Don’t miss the Swallow’s Nest a fantastical castle perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea (the castle was in fact designed for a German businessman by a U.S. architect). We enjoy the refreshing ferry or hydrofoil ride between the resort towns along the coast. Alupka from which you can take a cable car to Mt. Ai-Petri for fabulous views and Miskhor with a beautiful beach are our favorite resorts. Special trips can be arranged to Sevastopol and Balaklava important sites in the Crimean War immortalized in the poem “The Charge of the Light Brigade." Another excursion goes to Bakhchisarai a city of minarets and mosques—it was once the capital of the Crimean Khanate. While there see the magnificent palace of Khan Mengli-Girel and the Fountain of Tears which inspired Pushkin to write the poem The Fountain of Bakhchisarai. There’s no airport in Yalta; you fly to the regional capital of Simferopol set among beautiful vineyards and orchards then take a car into the city (about an hour’s drive). 210 mi/340 km southeast of Odessa. |
