Primorsky Park named after. Gagarin in Yalta

The southern coast of Crimea is particularly beautiful and has a huge number of unique resorts. Yalta is at the top of the list. This stunning city has many attractions. Primorsky Park named after Gagarin is one of them.

Location, history of foundation and development

The most popular park is located in the southwestern part of the city. In close proximity to. The foundation of the park began in the post-war years. In 1946, the landscaping trust allocated more than 1 million rubles for the improvement of the park area. For the first time, the city authorities spoke about the need to organize a park for recreation even before the war.

But only in 1946 was the final decision made to create a new resort facility. It is worth noting: almost all residents of Yalta, young and old, took an active part. Initially, the park was planned to be built as a terrace, in three tiers. A fountain was installed on one of them, and recreation areas and shady areas were installed on the others.

By the way, the modern Embankment was part of the Primorsky Park in the 50s. The main feature of the park area are sandy walking paths. Asphalt was not used then. Gradually, sculptures began to decorate the area. The first exhibit, “Girl with a Cannonball,” appeared here in 1950. In 1953 a monument to Chekhov was erected and so on.

Particular attention should be paid to vegetation. The modern alley, decorated with palm trees, was created in 1952. At the same time, approximately three thousand other trees were planted, including sycamore, cedar, pine, and so on.

Almost all specimens were imported from the famous Nursery, another Yalta landmark. In 54 of the last century, the beautiful half of humanity was amazed by the huge number of types of roses planted on the terraces.

Already in 1955, they created their own nursery on the territory of the park, plants from which were even taken to VDNKh in Moscow. As soon as the landscaping work on the lower tier was completed, another entrance to the park was opened. Decorating it with a sculpture of a deer. Today the park recreation area has become even brighter and more beautiful.

Modern appeal

First of all, I was struck by the central entrance to the park, decorated with a majestic colonnade - the most popular place for photo sessions. From the arch with columns, vacationers go down the stairs, on the railings of which there are flowerpots with flowers, to the central alleys of the park.

In the center of the Primorsky Park there is an observation deck with a decorative pool of an unusual shape, in the shape of the Black Sea. The main alleys are decorated with various types of palm trees and beautiful rose bushes. Here, that is, in the central part, a monument to the writer Gorky was erected.

The number of trees is amazing, many of them are unique, rare species. There are: Himalayan cedar, Judas tree, Aleppo pine, acute-fruited ash and other, no less amazing plants. In total, more than a hundred species are planted on the territory.

Naturally, the square is not famous for its beauty alone. No matter how good it is, you still want to have fun. And all conditions have been created for this. Kids enjoy a variety of attractions, playgrounds, especially trampolines and a shooting range with moving figures. Adult vacationers will also have no problem finding something to their liking.

The park has a bowling alley, sports and tennis courts, a huge number of cafes, restaurants and even hotels. By the way, if you are looking for housing in Yalta, I recommend it.

How to get to Primorsky Park in Yalta

This is the simplest question. Since the park area has three entrances, getting to it from anywhere in the city is not difficult. You can take any bus, minibus or trolleybus going to the Colonnade stop, and from there go to the park through the residential buildings of the Primorsky Park Hotel. You can also enter the park from the Embankment.

If you are used to traveling on your own or, I recommend that you first enter the coordinates into the GPS navigator and follow them. If you want, you can take a walk to one of the most beautiful and popular places in Yalta, and maybe the whole Crimea.

Photo

My opinion: Primorsky Park named after Yu. Gagarin is the most beautiful, amazing place in Yalta, with the most positive energy. This is one of the places where you can have fun with your children. Of course, this is not the Atlantis water park, but it is an ideal option for a comfortable stay. Have a nice, fun, interesting time everyone!

But also picturesque parks. It is pleasant to walk in them both in winter and in summer. Most of them are located near Yalta. The climate on the southern coast is subtropical, so the places are interested primarily in foreign plants that have taken root here and live happily ever after. Secondly, there are many interesting landscape decisions that were made in the 19th and even 18th centuries. Photos and videos do not convey all the charm of Crimean parks; they should be enjoyed in real time.

Vorontsovsky (Alupkinsky)

Vorontsovsky or Alupkinsky Park - one of the most picturesque parks in Crimea - appeared in the first half of the 19th century. It was laid out during the construction of the Vorontsov Palace and occupies 40 hectares. The German gardener Karl Kebach worked on its creation, taking into account all the features of the local terrain.

The park consists of two parts: Upper and Lower. In the Upper Park, the main attractions were the Small and Big Chaos, four glades with views of the mountains, as well as three lakes: Mirror, Swan and Trout. This part also contains the famous Moonstone. It got its name from the mirror surface in which the moon is reflected.

The lower park goes down to the sea. It is best known for the Lion's Terrace. From the Vorontsov Palace there is a grand staircase guarded by six marble sculptures of lions. In this part you can find plants not only from Crimea, but also from the other side of the globe.

Price: for free.

Operating mode: during the daytime.

How to get there: from Yalta by minibuses No. 102 (from the bus station) and No. 32 (from the center) to the Vorontsov Palace stop, then walk 10 minutes along the road to the northern front yard. Or take minibuses No. 107 and 115 from the Yalta bus station to the “Avtostation” stop and walk 15 minutes to the western entrance.

Livadia

Livadia Park is another masterpiece of park art in Crimea. It is slightly larger in size than Alupka, it began to be created under the first owner of these places - Prince Pototsky, but acquired its final appearance at the end of the 19th century. Around the Livadia Palace all the paths are straight, the plants are planted according to certain rules and neatly trimmed. But as soon as you move away from the central part, the alleys become more and more curved, and the park becomes more natural.

While walking through Livadia Park, you can see a variety of trees, including sequoias, Lebanese cedar, and Pitsunda pine. If you want to relax, you can choose one of three gazebos: Royal, Pink or Turkish. A special place is the long gallery (as much as 8 meters!) of roses, grapes and wisteria. It leads to a beautiful fountain, from where you can admire the mountains, the sea and Yalta. You can go down to the sea itself through a tunnel or by elevator.

By the way, not far from the palace begins the Tsar’s or Solar Path, along which Nicholas II once walked.

Price: for free.

Operating mode: during the daytime.

How to get there: from the Yalta bus station by minibuses No. 11, 100, 108 to the final stop “Livadiya”.

Kharaksky

The Kharak park does not amaze with its scale, like the first two, but, in my opinion, it is very cozy. It is located on Cape Ai-Todor, where there was once an ancient Roman fortress and the first lighthouse. In the 19th century, the grandson of Nicholas I, Grand Duke Georgy Mikhailovich, bought this place and built an estate here. He named him Charax.

On the territory of the park there is the wonderful Kharaks Palace, all entwined with wisteria and beautiful at any time of the year. Recently, wedding photographers and bloggers have especially loved it. From the palace you can go down the stairs to the sea: in winter you can take a walk, in summer you can swim.

The park preserves signs of different times: from the ancient Romans to the 19th century. One part of it is well-groomed; there are signs with names near the trees and plants. The other one, closer to the Ai-Todor lighthouse, looks a little abandoned, but this abandonment has its own charm. Near the lighthouse you can find a beautiful viewing platform and a museum of anchors, which was collected by one of the keepers.

Price: 100 rubles.

Operating mode: daytime.

How to get there: from the Yalta bus station by minibus No. 102 to the stop “Sanatorium “Dnepr”.

Forossky

Foros Park is another jewel of the Southern Coast of Crimea. In terms of its picturesqueness, it can compete with the Vorontsovsky Garden, and in terms of the amount of foreign flora that has taken root in this area, even with the Nikitsky Botanical Garden. Everyone who has ever walked along its shady alleys was captivated by its beauty and was sure to return again.

This plot was bought by Nikolai Raevsky, the hero of the Battle of Borodino, with whose family the poet Alexander Pushkin traveled through the Crimea. The park was founded in 1834, but it was not Raevsky who made it the pearl of the Crimean coast, but the Moscow merchant Alexander Kuznetsov. The tea magnate and porcelain manufacturer bought 70 hectares from the Raevskys in 1887 and created a “paradise” on this land. In this he was helped by the famous landscape artist Clover, gardener Albrecht and candidate of agronomy Yanin. It took 6 years to create the most beautiful park, but it was worth it: during walks you can meet plants from Europe, Asia and America. At the same time, the imagination of visitors was amazed not only by the flora, but also by the fauna. Now guests will have to be content with only trees and bushes, there is no talk of outlandish animals.

In Foros Park, by order of Kuznetsov, a house was erected in the style of Italian classicism. Despite various transformations from that time, wall panels, oak doors, and a marble staircase have been preserved.

The park in Foros is heterogeneous: the upper part is a forest park, all the most beautiful and interesting things are located in the center. Here you can admire fir trees, cedars, sequoias, palm trees, magnolias, breathe junipers, admire a cascade of artificial ponds, walk along an elegant bridge and look at blooming white lilies (but only in the warm season!). Afterwards you can go down to the sea and get acquainted with the sculpture, which all the locals call Alyosha. According to some reports, the composition appeared after Yuri Gagarin visited Foros, but this is not certain.

By the way, many famous writers, poets and musicians vacationed in Foros. For example, in 1916, Maxim Gorky and Fyodor Chaliapin met on the estate.

Price: for free

Operating mode: around the clock.

How to get there: From Sevastopol from the bus station there is a direct bus to the Foros bus station several times a day. At other times, you can take a bus going to Yalta, get off at the turn to Foros and go down to the village. There are no direct buses from Yalta to Foros, so you will also have to get off at the turn and walk to the park.

Mellas

The history of Melassky Park began in the same year as Forossky Park. In 1834, Lev Perovsky, a participant in the Patriotic War of 1812, became the owner of land on the Black Sea coast. On his orders, the architect Elson built the white Mellas palace. It still delights visitors and reminds us of Renaissance villas. As was customary at that time, the palace also included a park. Along its alleys and paths you can go down to the sea, where there is a large, well-kept embankment.

After Perovsky's death, the poet Alexei Tolstoy became the owner of Mellas. He visited Crimea several times and was inspired by this place, which he inherited. Now “Mellas” is a sanatorium. But not only vacationers, but also visitors can enjoy a walk through the park and the embankment.

Melassky Park has many viewing platforms from where you can admire the sea and mountains, for example, at the stone Rotunda. There is even a spring with mineral water similar to Essentuki No. 20.

Price: from 60 to 300 rubles.

Operating mode: from April-May to September-October during the daytime. A visit to the park must be made in advance.

How to get there: from Yalta by bus number 28 to the village of Sanatornoye, then go down to the Mellas sanatorium. You can also take any bus from Yalta to Sevastopol, get off at the turn to Sanatornoye and walk down. The same applies if you are traveling from Sevastopol.

Paradise (Aivazovsky)

The park of the Aivazovsky sanatorium “Paradise” in Partenit is one of the youngest parks on the southern coast of Crimea. He has a little over 50 years behind him. But despite its youth, it is the most picturesque and popular park on the peninsula.

Aivazovsky Park was created in 1964. It is believed that Leonid Brezhnev ordered a holiday home for the top party leadership to appear in the village. But they were able to finally bring this place to life only in the 2000s.

The main attraction of “Paradise” is a two-hundred-year-old olive grove. But you need to come here not only for this. And then, to breathe in the delicious air, sing in the acoustic gazebo, make a wish in the well of temptation, find all, all, all the sculptures of the ancient Greek gods, read the magnificent poems of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, going down the main stairs.

Price: 600 rubles (entrance only with a guided tour, the schedule of excursions can be checked on the official website). 500 rubles – Japanese garden.

Operating mode: 8:00 – 19:00.

How to get there: from the Yalta bus station by minibus No. 110 to Partenit (from the upper platform). You need to get off at the first stop after turning off the highway. It is called “Sanatorium named after. Aivazovsky."

Nikitsky Botanical Garden

The Nikitsky Botanical Garden appeared in Crimea thanks to the Kherson military governor de Richelieu. The date of creation was 1812. The famous naturalist Christian Steven was appointed the first director. It was he who created this place as a nursery for exotic plants, which were later planted throughout Crimea and southern Russia. During the 12 years that Stephen led the botanical garden, he collected a collection of more than 450 species. His student, Nikolai Andreevich Gartvis, served as director for 33 years. The botanical garden's collection doubled during his reign. Pines, firs, and cypresses were planted, giant sequoias arrived from California, a large vineyard was laid out, and the Magarach establishment of viticulture and winemaking appeared.

At the end of the 19th century, funding was cut at the Nikitsky Botanical Garden. Therefore, we had to sacrifice some of the experimental work. But already at the beginning of the 20th century the situation began to improve, and botanical research resumed. In 1912, the centenary was solemnly celebrated. Then they installed a colonnade at the entrance to the Lower Park, and visitors still pass through it today.

The Nikitsky Botanical Garden is beautiful at any time of the year; in spring and autumn, the “Tulip Parade” is held here and, at the beginning of spring, snowdrops bloom and envelop everything with their honey smell. Sometimes miracles happen. For example, snowdrops appear on New Year's Eve or a fluffy blanket of snow covers trees and shrubs. “Assu”, “Mio, my Mio” and others were filmed here.

Price: 300 rubles, for children from 7 to 14 years old – 150 rubles.

Operating mode:

How to get there: from Yalta from the “Clothing Market” or “Bus Station” stop by minibus No. 34 and trolleybus No. 2. From the Bus Station stop you can also take minibus No. 29. From Simferopol and Alushta you can take a bus or trolleybus to the Nikitsky Botanical Garden stop. And then walk down to the main entrance or get there by minibuses No. 34 and 29.

Montedor

Park "Montedor" in Yalta is the youngest of all listed. It opened in the fall of 2017 and is part of the Nikitsky Botanical Garden. The first attempts to create a park on the site of Devil’s Beam were back in the mid-20th century. Work began, a palm alley was planted, and an artificial pond was created. However, there was not enough funding and the project was frozen. For the next 25 years, the management of the botanical garden did not give up hope for revival. Luck smiled only after the annexation of Crimea to Russia in 2014: money and opportunity appeared.

Although the Montedor park is the youngest, you will fall in love with it the first time, just like the oldest Crimean parks. Cozy alleys, tall trees, a beautiful artificial pond, a wonderful bamboo grove rustling in the wind, a Mexican slide and many, many graceful bridges... What else do you need for a good walk on a summer (autumn, winter, spring) day?! And by the way, you can get into the cactus greenhouse completely free of charge! I was at the opening and described in detail my feelings from walking through “Montedora” in .

But if you go to Montedor for the Garden of Eden, then keep in mind that you need to walk there when something is blooming: lilacs, irises or clematis. The rest of the time this place is boring. You can find out more about the flowering schedule on the official website of the Nikitsky Botanical Garden.

Price: 150 rubles, for pensioners and children under 14 years old – 100 rubles.

Operating mode: from 8.00 to 17.00 in winter, in May and September - until 19.00, in summer - until 20.00.

How to get there: Montedor Park can be reached from Yalta from the “Veshchevoy Market” and “Avtovokzal” stops on minibuses No. 29 and 29A. Get off at the lower colonnade of the Nikitsky Botanical Garden, the entrance will be opposite it.

Miskhorsky

Miskhorsky Park dates back to the end of the 18th century. It is known that the owner of these places was Count Potemkin. He also ordered the establishment of a park here, which has survived to this day. The most curious thing is that this territory was inhabited by the ancient Greeks. There is information that in ancient times there was a Greek settlement here. However, this has little to do with the park on the southern coast of Crimea. But Prince Naryshkin, who bought this land from Countess de Witt, the second owner, did a lot to make walking along the alleys and paths bring joy and pleasure.

The main attraction of Miskhor Park is the palm alley. But it wasn’t the only thing that delighted the guests: there were also observation decks, a beautiful fountain, sculptures, and cozy villas. Of course, not everything has survived from the 19th century. But the palm alley still invites you to take a stroll, cozy villas decorate the park, and the fountain has been restored and made musical. Fans of legends will definitely like the sculpture of the Miskhor mermaid and the fountain “The Robber Ali Baba and the Girl Arza.”

Price: for free.

Operating mode: around the clock.

How to get there: from the Yalta bus station by buses No. 102 and 115, from the “Clothing Market” stop by minibuses No. 122 and 132.

Yusupovsky

Another park worth visiting is Yusupovsky in Koreiz. He appeared along with the Yusupov Palace. The most famous gardener of the 19th century, Karl Kebach, worked on it, the one who created a miracle in Alupka near the Vorontsov Palace. By the way, Kebakh consulted with the director of the Nikitsky Botanical Garden, Gartvis, which plant would best take root in this area.

The park area is not the largest. But it is decorated with numerous fountains, marble sculptures, and terracotta lions especially stand out among them. Walking through Yusupov Park in Crimea, it’s worth considering that the trees that surround you are from 100 to 500 years old. Interesting, isn't it?

Price: 400 rubles for adults and 200 rubles for children (the price includes a visit to the Yusupov Palace).

Operating mode: from 10.00 to 17.00.

How to get there: from the "Clothes Market" stop in Yalta by bus 132 to the "Resort Mishorskaya Polyclinic" stop. Then return along the road until you turn to the Yusupov Palace and the “1001 and One Night” hotel.

Gurzufsky

Gurzuf Park is considered one of the oldest in Crimea. It may surprise visitors with some interesting historical facts. For example, the land in this place was bought by a descendant of the same Cardinal Richelieu from Dumas’s novel about the musketeers. He fell in love with the place so much that he ordered the construction of a two-story house and a park. True, Richelieu had so much work that he rarely visited his estate, but he rented it out. This is exactly how Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin came here. The poet admitted at the end of his life that Gurzuf became “the cradle for Onegin.” The poet lived in a town on the southern coast of Crimea for more than two weeks with the Raevsky family. Now in the olive grove where he loved to walk, there is a monument to him.

Richelieu was the first to fall in love with these lands. But the Moscow industrialist Pyotr Gubonin, who bought the estate in 1881, breathed life into the small town. This was the heyday of Gurzuf as a resort. Gubonin built hotels, a postal and telegraph station, a pharmacy, trading shops and an Orthodox church. The industrialist did not forget about the estate, he loved it and called it his mistress. The famous fountains “Night” and “Rachel” were installed thanks to his efforts. They are still a decoration, the pearl of the Gurzuf Park.

Now Gurzuf Park is a favorite place for walks among local residents and tourists, and it is also completely free.

Price: for free.

Operating mode: during the daytime.

How to get there: from the Yalta bus station by bus No. 106 (departs from the upper platform) to the Gurzuf bus station. Then go down to the embankment along Leningradskaya Street.

Are you planning a vacation in Crimea and don’t know which attractions are worth your attention and which are not? Order from me, then you will only see what is really interesting to you.

This historical and architectural landmark of Yalta is located in the village of Miskhor. The name of the estate is translated into Russian from Tatar as “fulfillment of desires.” The estate was built at the beginning of the last century by Nikolai Comstadius, a Russian general who came from a noble Swedish family. He bought a plot of land in one of the most picturesque corners of the southern coast of the Crimean Peninsula.

The park of the Vorontsov Palace is considered one of the largest on the southern coast, its area is 40 hectares. To make it easier to imagine the size, we can describe it a little differently: from north to south it stretches for half a kilometer, and from west to east its length is twice as long. When the park was being laid out, several zones were conditionally identified: a regular layout, with terraces sliding towards the sea, was applied to the lower zone - the “lower park”; the central one - surrounds the palace and the last part is located near the sea - the western coastal zone is called the upper park, with a small and large...

Not far from the main entrance to the seaside park there is a bronze sculpture of the famous Russian writer, classic - A.P. Chekhov. The opening of the monument took place back in 1953 on July 15.

It is worth mentioning that the park was created as a small part intended for the treatment of workers of the USSR. It was here in Crimea that the main health base for workers, military personnel, etc. was supposed to be created. In honor of this, as well as in honor of the thirtieth anniversary of the adoption of the Decree “On the use of the territory of Crimea for treatment...” a memorial was opened in front of the park in 1951.
