Climbing areas

The rocks can be reached in two-four hours by car (or mountain trolleybus - an ordinary transport in Crimea) from the Simferopol airport or train station.

The Crimea mountains lies from the west to the east from Balaclava to Feodosia you can divide into a few climbing areas. They are very different because of climbing possibilities also. So we will discribe them due to these possibilities. Mostly the walls are composed of marble-view limestones,they are monolite and not very destructed.

The best time to go to the Crimea - late spring - autumn (till late November). This is the place with absolutely clear air and mix fantastic nature.

Recommendation - drop at Nikitskiy Botanicheskiy Sad (The Nikitskiy Botanical Garden). Gorgeous collection of plant from all over the world. You'll be pleasantly surprised!
Advice: Better arrange such trip by travel company or friends. The Crimea is now the territory of the Ukraine. So you will need Ukraine visas. Problem: all signs, schedules, information are in Russian as a rule(sometimes in Ukrainian). Better to take the guide to translate and contact with officiers.

Traffic: There are some bus roads from Simferopol to all climbing places. Practically no problem. Very popular to use mountain trolleybus.
