About
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. The palace's state rooms are decorated in traditional English interior style and have largely retained their original finishes. Here, you'll see paintings and sculptures by Russian and Western European masters, as well as decorative and applied art objects. Visitors can explore the Blue Drawing Room, the State Dining Room, the vestibule, the Winter Garden, and other spaces. The palace is complemented by a 30-hectare park featuring rare and exotic trees, ponds, fountains, and a tea house.

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.
Ai-Petri Plateau
The plateau is located in the western part of the Crimean Mountains' Main Range and includes several peaks. The highest point is Mount Roka at 1,349 meters, while the most popular is Mount Ai-Petri (1,234 meters), towering over Alupka and Koreiz. The slopes feature caves such as Trekhglazka, Geofizicheskaya, and Yalta. The iconic Ai-Petri "teeth" consist of four large and several smaller outcrops along the ridge.
