Day 2: Cave towns and monasteries of Crimea:
«Cave towns of Crimea are fragments of lost civilization, mute witnesses of human passions: joy of cunning bargain, the night pray-thanksgiving for healthy children and happiness in marriage... and - sudden fury of Nogai nomads, fire and grief...»
We start a day with visit of Khan's Palace in Bakhchisaray and after that I will drive to the start point of our hike. We will visit working cave monastery (VI-th c.) and cave town Eski-Kermen (XI-th c.). Distance 20 km. (12,5 miles). Vertical ascent/descent is 580 m.

My tourists say about 3-day private hiking tour
Timothy, Australia
We found the 3-days hiking and sightseeing with Sergey most enjoyable and stimulating. He looked after us extremely well and was an excellent, friendly and very reliable guide. We would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone visiting Crimea.

Hello Sergey, We just arrived from Kiev in good shape with a rather cold weather in Paris. This message to thank you for the 3 interesting days we have spent with you in this still preserved part of Crimea. I really felt your love of nature and people of your place which makes easier for us to capture something of it: It' s a door that you open to let us see what we are able to understand. Hope you will have a good time with other groups and with all your other activities that you manage to do.

I'd like to say thank you for our wonderful hiking trip around the Crimea - and thank you especially for being so kind to Sam when he was not feeling well. We both loved the Grand Canyon hike and I thought the cave town and Sudak with Novyi Svet was fascinating. We loved our visit to the Ukraine and we have been telling all of our friends about our adventure - and will definitely recommend your services if any of them decide to visit.
