TRAVEL TIPS: LIVADIA

   When you finish discover the Palace inside, go around it and look at a small Church beside the Palace. There is the yard where the well-known picture of the leaders of the USSR, the USA, and Great Britain was taken in 1945,(Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt).
  When you'll be back from the church and the yard, pay attantion for a pretty big stone to the right side. It is begin of a nice walk called "The Sun's Path". It goes to West through nice park, among the trees and bushes and get you to Gaspra, next small town. You could reach Swallow's nest by walking this way. When you turn right from the main road toward Livadia or reach it by walking from Yalta you will definitely see a nice red building with sign "Tiflis" on it. It is very nice but expensive restaurant. The prices are high but food and service are excellent. Near by the palace you will certanly meet two-three old women with a sign in their hands.
   Would be better to avoid to give them money - they are "professional beggar-women" and you can't be sure if you have more money than they have. :-)   They "work" there for years and years!!
