it's not a place for a holiday - no sea:)
In a nutshell
worth to have a look around
bugulma Says: Neapolis is situated on the hills in the end of Vorovsky Street, in the open-air. It is just a territory with one building and many stones around. Yes, quite less to see but the fact the ancient city was there was interesting for me.
bugulma Says: Skythian Neapolis was discovered in 1827 by chance when one of the architect saw the Skythian symbol on the stone that was carried by people for building works. Since then there were a lot of excavation works (mostly in the second part of XX century). Neapolis was the city...
Park near of Sovetskaya Square
bugulma Says: Sovetsky Park is on of the parks in the city. We found it when had a walking along Salgir River. The place seemed popular especially among wedding ceremonies, young mother with children and old ladies :-))
bugulma Says: Salgir River is divided the city on two parts. The river is not big and the border between two parts of the city is rather virtual :-) We had a walk along Salgir River from Skythian Neapolis to the center, it was quite nice time.
bugulma Says: Kebir-Gami Mosque is the oldest building in the city, dates back to 1502. For now, of course, it is several times reconstructed and renovated, las time in 1995. The Mosque is situated in Kurchatov Street.

Noname...: Fast local (not American) food at the railway
Kuznetsov_Sergey Says: We arrived to the Simferopol' railway station approximately one hour prior to our train's departure. It was about 1.30 in the afternoon. We had already known that there was no restaurant in our train. Therefore it was necessary to have dinner before we get the train. We...

bugulma Says: While we were walking we saw this funny table on the wall near of the door of the house. In translation it means "Russian TRUE Orthodox Church". Well, I've never heard about before... So maybe it is one of the stream in the church. I don't remember exactly the place but...

East or west, taxi drivers are the same
om_212 Says: Taxi are private bus drivers in Crimea will try to rip you off at all occasions possible, first, because you are a tourist and second, because the Crimea tourist season is just three-month long, so they are trying to save for other nine tourist-free months. they are...
