The Crimean peninsula is a great place where tourists from all over the world seek to relax. Here you can spend an unforgettable vacation on the shores of one of the two seas that wash the peninsula: the Azov and the Black. The number of resorts located here is difficult to count, because there are a lot of them. And each of them pleases guests every day with its unique color, beautiful nature, numerous attractions and, of course, beaches.
One of the fairly well-known resort areas of the Crimea is Sudak. The city is famous primarily for the fact that there is an ancient fortress. And in the immediate vicinity of it, the Soldaya Grand Hotel & Resort has recently appeared, the rest of which will be appreciated by many tourists.
Rest in Sudak: sea and sights
The city of Sudak (Crimea) is located in the southeastern part of the coast of the peninsula. It appeared thanks to the Alanian tribes a very long time ago: in 212. The city got its name in Ottoman times, and it was chosen for a reason. The city's name best reflectsits location. The fact is that in the Turkic language this word is divided into two: “su”, which means water, and “dak”, which means mountain forest.
Very long time ago, Sudak became a place where numerous tourists flock from Ukraine, Russia and other CIS countries. After all, here you can not only swim in plenty in the Black Sea, enjoy excellent pebble beaches and see with your own eyes the wonderful and unusual Crimean nature. Here you can also enrich yourself culturally while visiting all kinds of attractions - some of them have a very ancient history.
What to see in Sudak
The first thing that the city of Sudak (Crimea) is associated with is, of course, the Genoese fortress. This magnificent monument, which has come down to us since the Middle Ages, still stands today on a massive mountain. It can only be approached by a gentle slope in the north, so the choice of a place for the construction of such a protective structure is understandable and fully justified.
Today, the fortress is a very valuable architectural monument, which all guests of the city strive to see closer. You can go inside the fortress, walk along its walls and look inside some towers. Various themed events are also held here, during which tourists can feel like residents of the Middle Ages, dress up in appropriate outfits, shoot archery, ride horses and, of course, take pictures for a long memory.
Another interesting place in Sudak is a temple built in the Byzantine style tentativelyin the XII-XV centuries. It is located near the foot of a mountain called Polvani-Oba, closer to the village of Cozy. Once there were frescoes depicting Jesus Christ and the Twelve Apostles. Alas, today we are not destined to look at them, but the name of the place is directly connected with them: after all, the building is called the Temple of the Twelve Apostles. And next to it is a tower called Portovaya, or Astagvera.
Resting in Sudak, it is very convenient to visit the small village of Novy Svet, which is famous for its beautiful bays, juniper groves, the Golitsyn Trail and the champagne factory. Also in these places in the Soviet years, many films were shot in which the beauty of the Crimean nature is clearly visible. "Sportloto-82", "Three plus two", "Amphibian Man" and many other films give viewers the opportunity to visit these parts without leaving home. And everyone certainly wants to see all these beauties with their own eyes, so a trip to the New World is an obligatory point of the excursion program for many guests of Sudak.
