About
This park is one of the greenest corners of Yalta. It stretches along the shore from the "Oreanda" Hotel and covers a vast area. Running parallel to the Seaside Park is the promenade area of the Seaside Beach, which reopened after renovation in 2019. The beach consists of three tiers of public space. The lower tier is dedicated to beach services, equipped with shade canopies, umbrellas, sun loungers, and water attractions. The second tier features small restaurants, cafes, and boutiques, while the third—the uppermost—has observation decks and a walking area. The park houses a monument to Maxim Gorky and a small obelisk commemorating the Soviet decree on using Crimea for the treatment of workers. There are sculptures, a music-synchronized dancing fountain, and a mineral water pump room. Another attraction is the swimming pool shaped like the Black Sea.

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.
"Skazka" Zoo
"Skazka" consists of separate terraces on a mountainside, each offering new encounters: tigers and goats, lions and ornamental chickens, peacocks and miniature pigs. Over 600 animals—from familiar to exotic. The monkeys, as always, steal the show: noisy, teasing, posing.
