The Western Crimea is well known to our compatriots in the resorts of Sevastopol, Balaklava, Evpatoria plus small but equally popular tourist places of Chernomorskoye, Saki, Zaozernoye and others. This resort area extends along the flat coast of the peninsula along the Kalamitsky and Karkinitsky bays of the Black Sea from the village of Peschanoe.
Despite the fact that the Southern and Central Crimea enjoys greater popularity among tourists, the western shore is not inferior either to the purity of the water and beaches, nor to the beauties of the local landscapes, nor to the development of the tourist infrastructure. The coastline is a wide sand and pebble beaches in warm and shallow bays, which makes recreation here especially attractive for couples with children.

The surrounding mountains protect the mountains from storms and winds, making Balaklava bay one of the best places for yachting on the Black Sea coast.

Today it is the region of Sevastopol. At the entrance to the bay on the eastern shore, on the slope of Mount Kastron, the ruins of the Genoese fortress Cembalo are preserved.
Balaklava also has a submarine base, created as an anti-nuclear shelter and a factory for the repair of submarines. During the Cold War, this colossal base was a secret object. Since 1993, it has not functioned, and since 2003 it has been open to tourists.
Guests can stroll around an artificial canal that passes through the mountain, inspect several workshops of the plant and an arsenal where torpedoes and nuclear warheads were stored.
