Unveiling the Majestic Ay-Petri Mountain, Crimea 🏔🇷🇺

Breathtaking Ay-Petri Mountain 🏔, a must-visit on the Southern coast of Crimea! Reachable by cable car 🚡 from Mishor village, or bus 102 from Yalta. The ride itself is a mini-adventure! But beware of the crowd during peak season. 🙅‍♀️ Alternatively, take a car ride 🚗 with local drivers offering trips to the top, stopping at various spots. Or, hike up the Taraktash or Koreiz trails 🚶‍♀️. We chose the Koreiz trail for descent and didn't regret it! A friendly dog 🐕 accompanied us, and the views were simply breathtaking! 🌄 To reach the peak at 1234 meters, you'll trek through a forest and over slippery rocks. For adrenaline junkies, there's a suspension bridge over the abyss. 🌉 Remember to bring: drinking water 💧, comfortable shoes 👟, warm clothes 🧥, and cash 💵 (for a warm café stop, they don't accept cards). 📍 Crimea, Russia #crimea #crimeaview #crimeatravel
