About
The plateau is located in the western part of the Crimean Mountains' Main Range and includes several peaks. The highest point is Mount Roka at 1,349 meters, while the most popular is Mount Ai-Petri (1,234 meters), towering over Alupka and Koreiz. The slopes feature caves such as Trekhglazka, Geofizicheskaya, and Yalta. The iconic Ai-Petri "teeth" consist of four large and several smaller outcrops along the ridge. You can reach the plateau via the newly renovated cable car, launched at the start of the 2024 tourist season. After reconstruction, its route became shorter, now starting from the mid-station "Sosnovy Bor" on Alupkinskoye Highway instead of the lower station in Miskhor. Alternatively, the shortest hiking route to the summit of Ai-Petri is the Koreiz or Miskhor Trail—a 3.6 km path from the South Coast Highway. If driving, you can stop at Crimea’s tallest waterfall, Uchan-Su, the Silver Gazebo, and Turtle Lake along the way.
Vorontsov Palace
The palace was built in the first half of the 19th century for Count Mikhail Vorontsov, governor-general of the Novorossiysk region. The northern facade of the palace is designed in Tudor style, while the southern terrace, "guarded" by marble lions, incorporates elements of Eastern architecture.
Central Park of Culture and Leisure
This cozy spot used to be called Louise Park, named after the Prussian Queen Louise.
