Yalta
Exposed to the sun, washed by gentle waves of the Black sea, sheltered by the Crimean mountains from northern winds, Yalta is always full of charm and attraction. Picturesque landscapes, unique monuments of nature, history and architecture - all this is Yalta. Average July temperature is +24C, while average February temperature is about +4C. Here you will find beautiful summer palaces of Russian imperial family surrounded by numerous parks, here grows sun kissed grapes of which world-famous wines are produced. The vast Nikitin botanical garden boasting more than 28000 varieties of plants is situated quite close to Yalta. The town is famous for its Museums of russian writes: A.P.Chekhov, N.Z.Biryukov. Yalta was known as Dzhalita since 1145.
Seated in a natural vineyard-ringed amphitheater of mountains,
Yalta is a dramatically handsome resort on the southern
tip of Crimea. Yalta will always be a favored destination
with its mild climate, lush green landscape and rugged
beaches. The ancient homeland of the Scythians, the city
gained fame as a choice 18th-century Russian retreat.
Treasures also remain from the 19th-century. Vorontsov
Palace, in a 100-acre park, is a remarkable piece of architecture
not to be missed. Edward Blore, one of the men who designed
Buckingham Palace, helped create the palace as an "English
country house" on the Black Sea coast. In 1945, Churchill,
Roosevelt, and Stalin met at Livadia Palace to decide
the future of Europe. The meeting became known as the
Yalta conference and was probably one of the 20th Century's
most important historical events.
