Massandra Palace, entrance fees
bugulma Says: The museum is open 9:00-17:00 daily and the entrance fee is UAH 40 (EUR 3.80). The ticket office is on the left wing of palace and the entrance is on the back side of the palace. The photos are available without flash.
bugulma Says: It is interesting but for 15-years period since it was completed and belonged to Tsar family, they never stayed here for a night. The castle was used only as a stop on the way to the main Romanov's residence in Krym - Livadia Palace. In any way many things in museum are...
Massandra Palace, Forest arround
bugulma Says: The palace is surrounded by forest that was placed in 1822 by Karl Kebach (he placed Alupka park as well). For now forest park has a square in 42 hectares. We didn't walk around much cause of hot weather that day...
Massandra Palace, Soviet times
bugulma Says: In 1929-1941 the palace was sanatorium. Since 1948 the palace became country house for the Soviet leaders and during the second half of XX century Stalin, Khruschev and Brezhnev stayed here. Since 1992 the palace was opened as a museum.
bugulma Says: The construction works were begun in 1881 for Vorontsov family by Ethiene Bouchare architect (unfrthunately next year the works were stopped cause of the prince Vorontsov's death). The Tsar's family bought the palace in 1889. In 1892-1902 the palace was reconstructed by...

Kuznetsov_Sergey Says: In Christmas Eve we searched for restaurant in which we would celebrate Christmas night. We noticed the Italian restaurant near to our hotel. It had a very European appearance and we decided to order there a little table for the evening. Yalta is considered the most...
Kuznetsov_Sergey Says: The name of the restaurant is in honor the Mountain which is situated near to Yalta. This is the best restaurant in "Yalta-Intourist" Hotel. It is located on the last 17-th floor of the building. Great panorama on Yalta and the Black Sea opens from its balcony. The name of...

bugulma Says: When you go out of the bus near of the castle, you see the road that leads to castle. The road looks long and has many turnings. For a walk I recommend to turn left to the forest on the first path and you can make you way shorter. The path is quite trodden and you mustn't be...
bugulma Says: Massandra is the next place after Yalta and you may get it by mini-bus or Trolleybus, they start from bus station or from stops along Moskovskaya street. If the weather is not very hot and not rainy you may get it by walk (I didn't but I think it would be 1 hour around).
Kuznetsov_Sergey Says: In Christmas evening the concert of children's chorus has been shown in a hall of the hotel. Children were dressed in national suits. They sang Christmas songs in Russian and Ukrainian languages. It was very lovely!
Struggle for grounds in the unique Mass-dra Park
Kuznetsov_Sergey Says: Besides the imperial palace in Massandra once there was a manor of column Vorontsov. I did not manage to find even the rests of buildings of this manor. However the main property of the column's works became a huge park in Bottom Massandra. It begins in Middle Massandra and...
Kuznetsov_Sergey Says: For the first time I arrived to have a rest in Massandra in 1967 together with my parents. I was 13 years old. Whether I could then imagine that later 40 years (in 2007) I would go down to the sea and rise up again from the sea along the same mountain tracks! When I got a...
