About
This flattened red onion is practically a local legend. Sweet with no bitterness, it keeps for up to a year. Sold cheaply at markets, it adds a vibrant touch to salads. If you have space in your bag—grab some without hesitation.

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.
Pushkinskaya Street
This less-than-a-kilometer-long street connects the embankment with the "Spartak" cinema. It's a pedestrian zone that's pleasant to walk along both in the morning and evening. On the right side—houses, on the left—a small river. The alley is lined with chestnut trees, with benches and lanterns in the middle. Closer to the sea—a magnificent gazebo with columns and wrought-iron details.
