The unique combination of different forms of landscape and climatic conditions gives the Crimean peninsula a special inimitable charm. Without exaggeration, the Crimea can be called a museum in the open air, as many nationalities and civilizations managed to intertwine on its territory, leaving behind a variety of architectural structures. Perhaps one of the main attractions of the peninsula are the palaces of the southern coast of the Crimea, which were built for emperors, aristocrats, industrialists, and famous people. Everyone has his own story and, of course, everyone is beautiful and unique in his own way.
