About
The snow-white house on the outskirts of Yalta is a magnet for literature lovers. Here Anton Chekhov spent his final years, working, receiving guests, writing "The Cherry Orchard" and "The Lady with the Dog". He personally planted the garden. The memorial setting has been completely preserved—books, furniture, photographs, and household items.

Sweets, Jams, and Honey
Yalta produces excellent baklava—honey-layered with a crispy crust. You can also find unusual sweets: pine bud-flavored Turkish delight, candied rose petals, fig jam, and even lavender or bird cherry jam. There's also herbal jam made from thyme or pine cones.

Swallow's Nest
The most recognizable symbol of Crimea. This castle-like palace towers atop the 40-meter-high Aurora Cliff. It acquired its current appearance in 1912 thanks to architect Alexander Sherwood. To reach it, you'll need to conquer 1,200 steps—first down, then up. At the end awaits not just the castle but also a breathtaking coastal panorama: from here, you'll see Yalta, Sail Rock, and Mount Ayu-Dag.
