The editors of the TVIL.RU service blog explored several dozen Alushta attractions that are worth visiting. Demerdzhi, Jur-Jur waterfall, Mount Kastel, lighthouse temple, Cheese Rock and others are located outside the city, but you can explore Alushta itself in one day.
We recommend leaving your acquaintance with the city museums to bad weather, because, you see, it’s much more pleasant to go to the museum with your children in the rain, visit the Aquarelle Dolphinarium and the Alushta Aquarium with crocodiles, and join a tour of Gagarina’s palace, Stakheev’s villa and Beketov’s house. And you can walk along the Alushta embankment every evening before going to bed, especially since this time of day is the most interesting and lively at the resort. We suggest, while the weather is sunny and dry, to go on excursions to the surrounding area on your own and see all the sights of Alushta.
In this review you will find out where to go from Alushta on your own to take beautiful pictures. We will also tell you what interesting attractions and entertainment Alushta has prepared for vacationers.

Valley of Ghosts
The fabulous-looking rock figures are the result of weathering of volcanic formations on the southwestern slope of the Demerdzhi ridge. Conglomerates of the Upper Jurassic period represent the most ancient rocks that emerged on the surface of the Crimean land, the age of which, according to geologists, ranges from 800 million to 1 billion years.
Demerdzhi, whose height above sea level is 1240 meters, is a jagged mountain located north of Alushta and east of the Angarsk Pass. The mountain range consists of northern and southern parts, separated by a saddle. In 1894, the Southern Demerdzhi Massif collapsed. As a result, the Tatar settlement suffered, the inhabitants of which subsequently abandoned it.
In 1966 there was a second collapse. This phenomenon happened again in 1992. Accumulations of rock debris formed at the disaster site.
Large fragments of rocky debris are transformed by the imagination of travelers into fantastic images of fairy-tale creatures, which gave rise to calling the area the Valley of Ghosts.
