About
The garden was founded in 1812. Today it houses the largest collection of trees and shrubs - over 2,000 species. Visitors can explore the Upper and Lower Parks, which are combined into the Arboretum. The Upper Park boasts majestic giants - cedars, sequoias, firs and cypresses. In April, tulips bloom here, in May - irises, in June-July - daylilies, roses and cannas, in October-November - chrysanthemums. The Lower Park features a relic olive tree, magnificent specimens of pines and oaks, and subtropical fruit trees. There's a Green Labyrinth - about 1 km of paths winding through laurel thickets and climbing roses. There are also pools with fish and lotuses. There are no bad angles here: the paths are perfectly laid out, bushes are trimmed with virtuosity, and the background always enhances the photo.

Yalta Onion
This flattened red onion is practically a local legend. Sweet with no bitterness, it keeps for up to a year. Sold cheaply at markets, it adds a vibrant touch to salads. If you have space in your bag—grab some without hesitation.
Vorontsov Palace
The palace was built in the first half of the 19th century for Count Mikhail Vorontsov, governor-general of the Novorossiysk region. The northern facade of the palace is designed in Tudor style, while the southern terrace, "guarded" by marble lions, incorporates elements of Eastern architecture.
