Nestled between the sea and beautiful green valleys, Sevastopol sits on a
group of hills forming a natural amphitheater overlooking the magnificent
Bakhtiarsky Bay. This second largest of Crimea's cities will greet you with
bays of astonishing beauty, impressive architecture, unique museums,
charming gardens, and attractive squares and boulevards.
At the Malakhov Kurgan, the command post of Sevastopol, you will see the
remains of the bastions that protected the city twice during its
200-year-old history, in the Crimean War and World War II.
Two miles FROM Sevastopol, the State Historical and Archaeological Museum
houses the heritage of a 2,500-year-old civilization. Among the numerous
other attractions is Balaklava, scene of long and bitter clashes in the
Crimean War.
Pier Information. The ship will be docked at
Grafskaya Pristan, the port of Sevastopol. It is about a 10-minute walk
