The VISA terminal supposedly did not establish contact with my bank so we had to settle the bill in cash. When I got back home I discovered that the VISA terminal did in fact work - TWICE! (In retrospect, I remember that the waitress really worked the buttons on the terminal during the transaction.)
In addition to this our Russian friend "lost" her sunglasses in the establishment. By great misfortune I returned an hour later and now my sunglasses were also stolen. I have strong reasons to suspect that the thief was an employee. TRAVELLERS BEWARE!
Favorite Dish: The salmon is mediocre. Try one of the meat dishes.

Helpfulness
We didn't want to take the time to have a proper lunch as we had much to see so we had a couple of meat pierogis (more like pasties, a pastry shell with filling) and some Crimean Tatar baklava for dessert. There were several ladies in front of the entrance of the Khan's Palace selling these items, presumably homemade. Crimean Tatar baklava is different than the Turkish version, the Turkish version is denser and sweeter, the Crimean version is lighter and almost like it's filled with air.

Very nice views and nice decorated in Tatar style. You can smooke Hookah pipes here if you want to. They are very willing to help you if you are vegetarian. They serve no alcohol. The food is Tatar, which means plov (pilav) and sarma (stuffed whineleaves) etc.
Favorite Dish: I loved the plov and the sweet Turkish like desert and the excellent coffee.

On our 3rd day in the area around Sevastopol, we headed to Bakhchysaray, about an hour away by bus. There are a couple of highlights in the area, the Khan's Palace and Chufut-Kale, one of the cave...
We stayed here for 4 days to look around mountain Crimea – Bakhchysaray is the best base for walks in mountains.
Who are the Tatars? A group of living people - descendant of Turkic people who moved into Europe from Central Asia. The Crimean Tatars are descended from soldiers of Mongol leader Batu Khan, who...
