About
From a height of 138 meters, you can see all of Yalta. Below lies the port, houses cascade down the slopes, and the sea glitters in the distance. At the summit, there’s a viewing platform with a panorama that’s stunning both in daylight and under the electric glow of city lights after sunset. Darsan is easily accessible from the embankment via the Yalta-Gorka cable car. The view from the hill reveals the city’s layout: three hills, two river valleys, and one coastline.

Ai-Petri Plateau
The plateau is located in the western part of the Crimean Mountains' Main Range and includes several peaks. The highest point is Mount Roka at 1,349 meters, while the most popular is Mount Ai-Petri (1,234 meters), towering over Alupka and Koreiz. The slopes feature caves such as Trekhglazka, Geofizicheskaya, and Yalta. The iconic Ai-Petri "teeth" consist of four large and several smaller outcrops along the ridge.
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.
