About
"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—fr om familiar to exotic. The monkeys, as always, steal the show: noisy, teasing, posing. There's a "Grandma's Yard"—a fenced area wh ere visitors can interact with ponies, rabbits, and sheep. Animal feed is sold at the entrance. The air smells of juniper and roses, music plays, and the sea is visible in the distance. Nearby are the "Polyana Skazok" (Fairy Tale Meadow) Museum and the Marine Aquarium. If the kids aren't easily tired, you can spend an entire day on this side of Yalta.

Lavender, Sachets, and Spices
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.
Museum of Automotive Art
This museum houses true rarities: custom-built vehicles, muscle cars, vintage trucks, and even a Formula 1 race car. All vehicles are operational, and each has an interesting backstory. One exhibit was assembled from parts of a ZIL, Chevrolet, and Tahoe. Another is a replica of Sebastian Vettel's sports car.
