On the southern coast of the Crimea is located a small, but well-known town of Simeiz. In addition to the magnificent pebble beaches, surrounded by a ridge of rocks, there are many sights in Simeiz of Crimea. It is about them that will be discussed.
Rock Diva, Simeiz
The city's business card, the 52-meter Diva rock, rises near the beach and cuts into the waters of the Black Sea. It's not easy to get here - you have to go through a small stone ridge. From the top of the Diva there is a magnificent panorama of the sea, Simeiz and the surrounding countryside.
Mount Cat, Simeiz
A small resort is located at Mount Koshka, so named for its resemblance to the affectionate animal: on the eastern side the outlines of a cat can be guessed: a head with ears, a curved back, a tail. By the way, from Simeiz here excursions to the Simeiz observatory are arranged, which is on the slopes of the mountain. In the evening, you can see planets, stars and nebulae from the telescope.
