About
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. Local honey—made from lavender and coriander—has a strawberry-like hue. It often comes in sets or jars with fruits and nuts. Also, keep an eye out for dried fruits—cherry plum and cornelian cherry—and nuts—hazelnuts, walnuts, and almonds.
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.
Lenin Embankment
The main promenade of Yalta stretches along the shore. It's always crowded here: some people photograph the waves, others pick out souvenir magnets, and some go fishing. The space is designed for leisure—a wide pedestrian zone, palm trees, benches, and flowers.
