Ay-Petri

This is a mountain on the plateau of the same name above Alupka, with a peak of about 1,234 m. Its most recognizable part is rocky teeth from 7 to 19 m high, sticking out like a dragon's jaw.

The most spectacular option is the cable car from Myshhor, which has the longest span in Europe without supports. You can also go by car along the Yalta - Bakhchisarai route or go up on foot from the Uchan-Su waterfall.

Ai-Petri is the windiest place in the Crimea and the whole of Ukraine: gusts here accelerated to 50 m/s. Add 215 foggy days a year - and it becomes clear why you should hold on to your cap and take warm clothes even in summer.

On the plateau there is the village of Okhotnyche, and a whole underground collection is hidden under your feet - 27 explored caves, among them Kaskadna and Uzundja.
