Crimea is a place of striking beauty - rolling, fertile countryside, with fruit farms and vineyards in the center give way to the forested gorges and rocky escarpments of the mountains as you travel south towards the beaches of the Black Sea. The Crimean coast lies on the far side of the Black Sea from Turkey. Stunning mountain scenery, warm sea and a long season of summer sunshine have made the Crimean coastline the Riviera for Ukrainians and Russians since the time of the tsars.
Transport and accommodation are cheaper than the Mediterranean resorts. The weather is also better and the sightseeing amazing!
When you come to Crimea, you're likely to arrive by air or train in the bustling, modern regional capital, Simferopol. This is where the Supreme Rada and Council of Ministers meet - Crimea has special status as an Autonomous Republic and can pass its own laws, while remaining subject to the national laws of the Ukraine.
