About
An elegant tower about 18 meters tall appeared in Derbent in 1856. For over 150 years, the lighthouse has been guiding ships across the Caspian Sea. Originally, acetylene lamps were lit at the top, then replaced by kerosene, and later by electricity. Today, a halogen lamp is installed, shining up to 25 nautical miles (46 km).

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.
