About
Crimean lavender isn't just sold in bouquets. You'll find sachets, decorative pillows, and rolls filled with dried herbs—primarily lavender, but also mint, thyme, and juniper. At markets, you can buy dried flower heads, spice sets, and seasonings like wild garlic or juniper berries. Perfect for tea, baking, and homemade preserves.
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.
Massandra Palace
If you want photos straight out of a European fairy tale, this is the place. The walls are built of stone, the towers are pointed, the balconies are curved, and the park looks like it’s from an engraving. The interiors are tastefully opulent: stucco, wood, fireplaces, tiles, oak paneling, and tiled stoves.
