3 km from the city center lie the ruins of the ancient Greek city of Chersonese (entrance 20 hryvnia, photo 5 hryvnas) where Prince Vladimir of Kiev converted to Christianity. Now here is the historical-archeological museum-reserve "Chersonese Taurian". It includes not only a permanent exposition, but also excavation sites, the ancient Chora, where tourists can even take part in expeditions, and much more.

Chersonesos has a lot of interesting thematic excursions. Within the reserve are also famous Misty bell cast in 1778 from captured Turkish guns, and St. Vladimir's Cathedral, near which in ancient times was the agora -. The main square Chersonese

The guests of the city are surprised when to a request to tell how to get to St. Vladimir's Cathedral, they will learn that there are two cathedrals in Sevastopol the name of this saint.

Chersonesus Museum - an amazing whole day excursion March 27, 2014

The ruins of an ancient Chersonese is a tourist attraction number 1 in Sevastopol. For their sake, we actually traveled to this legendary city. You can get to the territory of the historical reserve in two ways. Legal, that is, buying a ticket to go through the central entrance, and the second - free through the Sunny beach of Sevastopol. But the second option is risky, as there is a guard on the trail, which returns negligent back tourists. Therefore it is better not to waste time, and just go through the main ... Read entire review

Historical monument, impregnated with ancient history January 26, 2014

"Khersones Tavrichesky" - one of the historical monuments of the Crimea, which is on the list of compulsory visits. The easiest way to go there is to buy an excursion, from the South Coast it will cost you 250 - 300 UAH. As a rule, Chersonese is combined with a visit to the center of Sevastopol, a panorama, a diorama. But an independent trip will cost much less, the more complex the city is in the city, that is, ordinary urban transport goes to it.
We went to the main market on the bus ... Read entire review

Great place for walking to the past November 11 2013

Arriving in Sevastopol, I really wanted to visit Chersonesos. I have some craving for ancient places, the ruins of old buildings. Therefore, it seems to me that if you once thought of becoming an archaeologist or just delighted with the films about Indiana Jones, then you must have a Chersonese route along Sevastopol. The only thing is that the entrance to the territory is paid, plus you are required to pay money for photographing the neighborhoods, but we were somehow cautiously photographed and did not pay. The message ... Read the full review

And the museum, and the church, and the historic bell are just a mix of interesting places 04 November 2013

Chersonese is a tourist attraction for an amateur. After all, it is the remains of a city that lived a full-blooded destiny many centuries ago. There are no beautiful waterfalls or majestic palaces, as in other places of interest in Crimea, but here you can feel the spirit of those times when even our great-great-great-great-grandfathers and their wives-our distant grandmothers-did not live. It is not necessary to bypass the entire Chersonese, because its territory is great, but it is informative and curious. In addition to the skulls of old buildings, ... Read the full review

7 of 10 Ancient Greek city comes to life in your imagination during and after the tour of Chersonesos

was here in January 2013

In Chersonese I visited more than once, but twice. The first acquaintance with the ancient city happened to me in the winter, during a business trip to the Crimea and a forced pause in work because of the suddenly overtaken Sunday.

Thank you, we stayed at the Atlantika Hotel, where there is a final stop of the trolleybus, so towards Chersonesos rode with an employee on the "horned" transport. True, from the stop it was necessary to walk another 5-10 minutes walk, probably.
And here we are at the entrance to the city-museum. Entrance tickets ... Read the full review

Vacation in the Crimea is not only a hot sun and the beach, it is an even greater opportunity plunge into the history of this beautiful place. Therefore, after consulting with my family, we went to Chersonese, to the ancient city, the present vicinity of Sevastopol. This city museum-reserve today is quite popular. He is more than two and a half thousand years, as he is part of the history of ancient Greece, Rome and Byzantium. It is associated with a rather famous event as the baptism of Rus.

Last year, it turned out that the opportunity to go to the sea, and relax at least a week was not. Therefore, my friend and I quickly realized and went to the weekend in Chersonese. Entry there was then 20 UAH, I think this is not expensive. There I was for the first time and was very surprised by the beauty of the sea, the beach, and the architectural buildings of Chersonesos. We arrived there at the end of July, and there was a parade of ships in Sevastopol. And being not far from him we watched what a huge ships, a unique technique. According to Chersonese ...
