Learn Ukrainian in Yalta!


Yalta, a relatively undiscovered European gem has plenty to offer not least its breathtaking landscape or fascinating history surrounding palaces, castles and monasteries.

There are not many coastal areas within Europe that can compete with the Crimea's rich history and culture. The Crimea moreover is a very affordable destination that enjoys a Mediterranean climate. With a population of about two million and a coastline stretching over 1000 km as well as a certain degree of political autonomy the Crimea almost feels like a country in its own right.

Nearly all visitors arrive to the Crimea via its largest city Simferopol, where the airport and railway stations are located. If you have the time it is well worth exploring the older parts of the city among the onion domes and minarets. Travelling on to Yalta from Simferopol is easy you simply take the trolley bus the whole way. The 90 km trolley bus route between Simferopol and Yalta is the longest in the world. The pleasant journey takes you through undulating fields swathed in red poppies and where the impressive pine covered mountains meet the Black Sea then you know you have reached the spa town of Yalta.
