Big Alushta is a large administrative district of the Crimea, stretching from Partenit to Privetnoye. There are more than 80 health resorts, student camps, recreation centers, many mini-hotels. Alushta mountain amphitheater is the most beautiful and extensive in the Crimea.

At the beginning of the 20th century, near Alushta, from the dachas of famous Moscow and St. Petersburg scientists, a settlement was formed, named the Professor's Corner. Now it is the center of resort Alushta, where most sanatoriums are concentrated. Here there is a resort atmosphere: many restaurants and cafes, discos and attractions, entertainment centers "Albatross", "Castel" and "Alushta".

How to get here

Of course, when it comes to the whole large area, the answer to the question "how to get there" should be formulated based on the ultimate goal of the assignment. But wherever you are heading to Bolshaya Alushta, first, in any case, you should get there by train to Simferopol. In Simferopol from the railway station, public transport departs in different directions, including direct trolleybuses to Alushta or to Yalta. Instead of a "bus with horns" you can sit on a pleasure boat, but you should be aware that these are completely different prices.

Entertainment, excursions and attractions of Big Alushta

What you can not complain about in Big Alushta is the lack of entertainment and attractions .Large cities and resorts offer all opportunities for beach and outdoor activities, and in the surrounding area you will find many geological and historical monuments .If you take Alushta as a starting point, then in the city itself there are, in addition to the attractions mentioned above and the water park, and several cultural facilities for a variety of beach holidays .This is the Museum of Local Lore and two houses-museum of writers: Sergeeva-Tsensky and Shmelev .

Not far from Alushta is the Museum of Nature of the Crimean Reserve, whose exposition will tell about everything that makes up the unique world of the mountainous Crimea - from rocks to animal species. The most interesting part of the exposition for tourists is, of course, the dendrozoo park, which is arranged in a landscape style and allows watching animals and plants in their habitat.

From Alushta, you can go on a mountain walk or even hike with tents .If you climb the western peak of Chatyrdag, the Cape of Cape (1525 m), then you will see a view almost to the entire Crimean peninsula .To the west will be beech and pine forests, and almost everywhere there are mountain lakes .In the old days, only kings could hunt in these places, later only the general secretary received such an honor, thanks to various programs organized by the reserve management, hunting and fishing in these places is also available to ordinary tourists .

Orthodox go to visit the monastery of Cosmas and Damian, in whose territory the healing spring Savlukh-su .Very different travelers are attracted by the Demerdzhi mountain range .Demerdzhi (in Turkish means "blacksmith") consists of pebbles and boulders of an ancient river, which in due course were pressed and melted in t .n .conglomerates, most of which are at least a billion years old .These ancient rocks are found only here .Conglomerates eventually break down, forming figures of bizarre contours, the largest of which is known as Catherine II's Head .But not only an unusual kind of natural sculpture beckons tourists here: in esoteric circles it is believed that these stones give an unusually strong energy flow, and many psychics rush here in search of this energy .

In Greater Alushta, many are not carrying any special energy, but still very beautiful and interesting places. Near the village of Semidvorye is a reserved grove of a tree-like juniper. Not far from here in 1893 the remains of a mammoth were found. In 1, 5 km from here, on the river Alaka, you can find such a unique geological monument, like stone mushrooms. Their multi-toned "hats" are held on relatively thin "legs" due to the fact that the density of the rocks that make up the "hats" is incommensurably smaller.

The village of Malorechenskoe can boast a cape on which there are miraculous cellular sculptures made of sandstone. No less beautiful is the outlet of volcanic rocks near the village of Rybachiego. And if you go from Rybachy along the trail upwards, then you will go to the Kanaksky gully, on the western slope of which there is a grove of arboreal juniper and turpentine tree, and in the estuary - the ruins of the pottery center that flourished in the Middle Ages.

To the west of Alushta, you can find the following attractions: Mount Castel with the remains of an ancient fortress, Utes-Karasansky Park with Princess Gagarin's Castle, Cape Plaka with a wonderful view of the sea and the Bird's Islands, which featured many adventure films.

Partenit village since ancient times was a cult place - on the neighboring mountain there was a temple of the goddess Taurus, whose name in Greek sounded "Parthenos" and gave the name to the village itself. In the history of Christianity Partenit entered as the birthplace of St. John of Gotha. His remains were buried in the monastery founded by him, but at present only his ruins can be seen on the territory of the Crimean sanatorium.
