Traveling to the CrimeaI like to travel, because during the traveling you can learn a lot of new things and make new friends. There are many interesting places, where you can rest. One of such places is the Crimea. I went to the Crimea several times and I liked this place very much.
The Crimea is the peninsula in the Black Sea. Along the coast there are many health resorts and beaches, bays and picturesque mountains. In the Crimea there are many attractions and places for excursions. We visited Yalta`s zoo and large botanical garden, splendid palaces as Lastochkino Gnezdo and Vorontsov Palace and beautiful cascades.
In the Crimea there are such unique nature creations as stalactite caves. Last summer my mother, I and my elder brother decided to visit caves that named Mramornaya (Marble) and Emine-Bair-Hosar. It is considered to be the most beautiful in the world.
These caves are situated on Chatyrdag Mountain, the highest mountain in the Crimea.When we came down into the cave, it was cold, damp and dark there. All visitors of caves must wear warm clothes because the temperature in the cave is about 50C.
At the beginning we went downstairs and got to the first large hall with a lot of stalactites and stalagmites. It was great! After the opening of this cave for tourists the coloured illumination was made in it, and it made the cave more fantastic and mystery. When we were examining the cave our guide said that we mustn`t touch anything in the cave because it could destroy the microclimate of the cave.In another cave we saw bones and skeletons of the ancient animals that fell into this cave by accident and died there. We also saw little transparent underground lake in this cave. One of the halls was so huge that we couldn`t see its ceiling in the darkness, and hundreds of stalactites on the walls looked like tubes of gigantic organ. This excursion made strong impression on us.In addition we visited unique valley between mountains called the Ghosts` Valley. The wind created fantastic and beautiful stone figures. One of them looks like the head of a man named Lord of the Ghosts` Valley.Everyone can visit these wonderful places and see all the miracles of nature. I would like to go to the Crimea again, because I haven`t seen all sights yet.
