Chekhov House Museum (White Dacha)
The snow-white house on the outskirts of Yalta is a magnet for literature lovers. Here Anton Chekhov spent his final years, working, receiving guests, writing "The Cherry Orchard" and "The Lady with the Dog". He personally planted the garden.
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.
