TRAVEL TIPS: YALTA

    Because Yalta is the most famous city in Crimea, many people come to Crimea with main wish to visit it. So, most common way to get there is direct way from Simferopol. There is a highway built in 1962 for trolleybus. It is longest in the World trolleybus road which goes over the mountains. You will pass a valley with many villages, last one is Perevalnoe. There are many cafes and restaurants on both sides of the road. If you decided to stop for a lunch, it would
be better to choose from ones behind Perevalnoe - several of them serve a food outside and you will like it better.
   If your destination is hotel Yalta you should turn right on the Massandra bridge, before Yalta and go according the road signs.
   On the way from Sevastopol you should definately stop on Laspy Pass - a point which hard to miss, because there is a square with a Chapel and cafes and parking places.   It is popular place for wedding parties of Sevastopol people so if you will get there on Friday or Saturday afternoon you will certanly meet some weddings. Look down to the sea, nice view should be pleasant for you. There are two Tatar cafes on
this place, but would be better to avoid to use them: the food is not best quality, but the prices are double compared with many another cafes.
If you are hungry, go toward to Yalta 6 more kilometres and stop on the right side of the road. Good food, not expensive, nice seaview.
   When you pass Sarich Cape - southest point of Crimea, look to the left and very soon you  will see Gorbachev's summer house downhill. It is the house where he was blocked in 1991.
If you want to stop and look down, make sure there is no traffic police on the road - it not allow to stop at this point.
There are many restaurants and cafes in Yalta, some from them are expensive, some are very expensive.
    If you are looking for inexpensive food, go to street which start from McDonnalds and goes along the sea to opposite side of the promenade. You will easy find a cafe named Siren on the left side of the street. They serve simple dishes, quite good and inexpensive.
