| Alushta |
 |
Old Greek name of Alushta is Aluston,
and as many another Crimean towns it is pretty old. It is still
not a big town, located only 45 kilometres from Simferopol toward
to Yalta.
Alushta is popular resort area for Russian and Ukrainian middle-class
people because the prices are less compared with Yalta, and whole
area of Great Yalta. Lanscape is different from Yalta's - no high
trees, no high rocks amd mountains.
The great decoration of Alushta is Demerdgy Mountain
which is visible from any point of the town. Demerdgy is really nice
place for hiking or horse-riding. There are several
private companies run by Tatar where you can rent a horse to ride
with. If you'll horse-ride you will certanly get to ruins of
a fortress "Funa" built in XV century. There
is amazing landscape with great rocks and forest near Demerdgy. |
There are many sanatoriums
in Alushta and each one has own piece of beach. It is why sometime
could be difficult to find a beach if you don't stay at a sanatorium.
There is a long-long promenade along the sea shore and it is covered
by many cafes, restaurants, souvenir shops. There is a crowd
of people and a lot of activity in Summer time till the middle of
October.
