Instead of going to the typical tourist places like Yalta, where you pay over the odds for everything, try learning to read Russian (so you can read menus!!) and go to the smaller, much cheaper villages which are full of lively friendly people!Be prepared to indulge in a few vodka's and try the Champagne from Novy Svet!!Sudak, Simeiz, can both be recommended!!Good luck. Take a train overnight from Odessa to Simferopol, 1st class and its part of the holiday!!Enjoy.

Unique Point de chute pour les vols internes Ukrainiens sur la Crimee,de la possibilitees de jolies excurssions par bus aux alentours....Sebastopol, Yalta (en ete) avec sa vie de nuit intense ... Les demoiselles une plus belles que les autres...

you better wear tons of sunscreen not get sunburnt

Nice wild nature but be careful with the locals

In septemer - great city. Before - overcrouded. Rather expensive - but i like it. To find accomodation - u need just be with bag at bus station. In second u will be not able to move, coz u will have about 10 offerts :)

Yalta is quite a nice little place to base yourself for a few days. The sea is lovely here and you can take boat trips out. Its also easy to head up into the hills for a day from the town. Lavadia Palace is also worth a look, it was a 'holiday home' for Tsar Nicholi II and his family, and also used for the infamous conference between Stalin,. Churchill and Rosevelt at the end of WWII. Very interesting.

Gurzuf is a resort in Crimea, Ukraine, on the northern coast of the Black Sea. Gurzuf is a former Crimean Tatar village, now a part of Greater Yalta. It was made famous by Alexander Pushkin who visited the place in 1821. The famous ballet master Marius Petipa died here. The International Children Center Artek (former All-Union Young Pioneer camp Artek) is situated just behind the mount of Ayudagh (the Bear Rock). The World Organization of the Scout Movement's Eurasian Region is headquartered in the town. There is also the Anton Chekhov Museum.

Do not use ukrainian language....only russian and english. I'm native polish speaker with basic knownlege of ukrainian and people to hear my break russish-polish than quit goot ukrainian!

Yalta was great 20-years ago, I don´t know how things are now...
