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.

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.
