Massandra is a legendary wine cellar and wine making estate located just minutes from the center of Yalta. Most famous for its underground tunnels, the Massandra cellars were bored deep into the granite mountainside in 1894-1897 so that a consistent temperature of 13-14 degrees C could be maintained to ensure that the wines are stored in perfect condition.
The excursion to Massandra Winery was inexpensive and fun. For less than $10 you get a tour of the museum and winery, and tasting of 9 Massandra wines. The tour was Russian language only, though. At the wine shop you can buy Massandra wines very cheap.

Livadia Palace was built in 1911 for the Russian czars.
The former czar's palace is a luxury indeed.
They knew where and how to built!...
Now it is a place of pilgrimage of lots of tourists.
It attracts us by its history, its design, beautiful parks and splendid sea views.
You can have a tour of the palace visiting the famous hall where the Yalta Conference of the Allied Powers was held in February 1945.

The entrance fee is UAH 40 (EUR 3.80), and UAH 20 for making photos inside. The special entrance for Italian Yard, UAH 10. When we came it was possible to enter only as a part of the group and it seems only Russian language was available. The palace is open 10:00-17:00.

The 2nd floor was the living area of the Romanov's family. Besides it is more interesting because it shows the life of Tsar family while the first floor was devoted to Yalta Conference of 1945 only. Some photos of the 2nd floor rooms' interior is in the travelogue.

The room of Nikolay II, the last Russian Emperor, is situated in the second floor and decorated in the green colour. The guide says all thing, furniture are natural and were saved since those times as well as the things that were belonged to other members of the family that could be seen in the second floor of the palace.

One of the place that was not broken down during construction works in 1910-1911 is Krestovozdvizhenskaya Church (the entrance is near of Italian Yard entrance, though some architecture details are visible from palace windows as well).

During the excurssion you may see Italian yard from the rooms of Roosevelt. The main entrance is behind the main entrance to the palace (it was offered to you to come into the yard for the special photo by local photographer for fee but it is better to pay later for the entrance to the yard and to make photos as mush as you want). Some photos of the yard is in the travelogue

The first room you see when come in to the palace is the stateroom. It is the place where the Yalta conference took place in 1945. In the stateroom the long table was placed for the conference and you see it nowadays as well.
