Gurzuf Park(Military sanatorium and sanatorium Pushkino), Gurzuf
Public, paid.
Gurzuf Park became the first in European style in Crimea. It was created on the estate of the Duke de Richelieu in 1808 on an area of ​​12 hectares. The park is located on the seashore at the mouth of the mountain river Avunda, which divides it into two unequal parts. Gurzuf Park is a monument of landscape gardening art of national importance.

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 destroyed during construction 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. To create the most beautiful park it took 6 years, 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 firs, 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 Alexey 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's even a source here mineral water, similar to Essentuki No. 20.

Paradise (Aivazovsky)

The park of the Aivazovsky sanatorium “Paradise” in Partenit is one of the youngest parks in South Coast 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.

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 under New Year or a fluffy blanket of snow covers trees and bushes. “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 at winter time, 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 not only it delighted the guests: there are also observation decks, beautiful fountain, sculptures, 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 curious 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 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 favorite place for walks local residents and tourists, and it’s 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.

Chrysanthemums in the Nikitsky Botanical Garden

The resort capital of Crimea - the city of Yalta - is perhaps the most attractive and prestigious city on the southern coast of Crimea and the entire peninsula as a whole. very popular for many reasons: not only does it have a special climate, but it also has excellent recreational opportunities and a lot of entertainment. Every year thousands and thousands of tourists flock here, and they are warmly received not only by boarding houses, sanatoriums and hotels, but also hospitable. With the onset of summer, it immediately begins in full swing. holiday season, and Yalta streets, embankments and beaches are filled with tourists and their noisy discord. Basically, of course, vacationers spend most of their time by the sea, on the beaches, but with the onset of midday heat, many tend to leave the beach and hide in the shade under the canopy of trees, which is given to tourists squares and parks of Yalta.

Palace parks of Yalta

Parks of Yalta can be conditionally divided into ordinary city parks, which were originally created as public parks - for recreation and walks of citizens and vacationers, as well as palace parks, which are masterpieces of landscape art. The latter include such parks of Greater Yalta as, located in Lower Massandra, located on the slopes of Mount Mogabi in Livadia, which stretches along the beaches of the wonderful coastal resort town of Miskhor, and, of course,.

It should be noted that if Yalta city parks, no matter how good they are, they serve purely practical purposes - this is a place of rest and shelter in the summer from the scorching sun, then the above parks are monuments of landscape gardening art, and when vacationing in Crimea, tourists tend to visit them on a tour so as not to not only admire the creations of human genius, but also learn a lot of interesting things for yourself.

Those who like to walk along winding paths, observing the combination of nature and the frozen beauty of architecture, who like reflection in solitude, who want to get acquainted with the real masterpieces of landscape gardening art of the past, will be invited to visit Yalta parks. This is a wonderful vacation spot: the paved paths and alleys of the parks are hidden in the shade provided by the canopy of trees, the air here is surprisingly clean, and beauty and tranquility reign here, characteristic only of nature.

Yalta City Garden

Yalta City Garden is located in the central part of the embankment, and is limited from the east by Chernomorsky Lane, and from the west by Ekaterininskaya Street. The garden was founded in the last quarter of the 19th century, and, as experts suggest, it was created on the model of the Summer Garden in St. Petersburg. This is evidenced by the fact that both gardens have a clearly defined central compositional axis, as well as a common principle of decorative, floral and sculptural compositions.

city ​​garden is a real oasis of greenery. It was decorated sculptural compositions based on stories ancient mythology, as well as luxurious flower beds. The Yalta City Garden was the favorite vacation spot of Anton Pavlovich Chekhov and his contemporaries. Unfortunately, much has not survived to this day, but the historical layout and the main group of landscape compositions have remained the same.

Before the reconstruction, which took place in 1952, City Garden Square was about two hectares, and after it it was merged with the Embankment, and its area expanded two and a half times. Several thousand shrubs and trees grow on the territory of the garden, among which I would especially like to highlight the golden tree, variegated maple, magnolias, medlar, taxodium, mammoth tree and many other types of plants. And in the middle of the last century, Hamerops palm trees were planted along the central alley of the park.

Come to ! Enjoy the sun and sea! And walks around unique parks Yalta will enrich your vacation with unforgettable memories.

As Russian Empire grew stronger and richer, the aristocracy paid more and more attention to art. Music, architecture, literature - its familiar and familiar forms - survived the change of political regimes and live to this day. But gardening art, having flared up in the nineteenth century, slowly faded away later. Our contemporaries are extremely lucky that many parks have survived to this day, going beyond the utilitarian framework of recreational areas and expanding the sphere of aesthetic pleasure.

The southern coast of Crimea is home to several dozen parks, some of which are rightfully considered masterpieces. The Eastern Slavs are not accustomed to a subtropical climate. That’s why our ancestors were so attracted by the lands newly acquired by Catherine II, which gave birth to strange flora. None of those who could afford an estate in Crimea wanted to lag behind the fashion of building a palace surrounded by a luxurious park. So the coast slowly turned into one large palace and park ensemble.

One of the first parks of Greater Yalta and a role model was the Nikitsky Botanical Garden. The war with Napoleon was still raging, and Alexander I appointed the first director of the new state park. It was Christian Steven, who, over twelve years of painstaking work, laid the foundation for the stunning collection of the famous park. His assistant Nikolai Gartvis became Steven's successor as director. His contribution is also difficult to overestimate. In addition to opening a gardening school and planting a Magarach vineyard, Gartvis actively helped the owners of other Crimean estates improve their territories by sending valuable varieties of trees and flowers. Under Gartvis, the collection of the Nikitsky Botanical Garden increased many times. Nowadays it is one of the best parks on the South Coast, and it has its own research base.

Alupka Park, supported by the authority and wealth of Count Mikhail Semyonovich Vorontsov and the talent of the gardener Karl Kebach, did not want to concede in any way to the imperial first-born. The German gardener-botanist lived in Crimea from the very beginning of the park’s foundation, and the work lasted over 25 years. Kebakh, like Gartvis, actively contributed to the development of parks in Greater Yalta. Without limiting himself to working with his main creation, he participated in many projects concerning the transformation of the estates of the wealthy nobility, and he made a significant contribution to the literal prosperity of the Crimean coast. As for Vorontsov Park, such colossal investments did not take long to pay off; the huge park became an example of landscape gardening art for posterity. The rich collection of exotic plants, coupled with the original landscape and a wonderful palace, have made this park a powerful magnet for tourists for many years.

Karl Kebach is related to another Vorontsov estate, this time in Massandra. When the foundation of the Alupka Park was already in full swing, he simultaneously began to develop a new facility. Later, the estate passed into the hands of the imperial house, which also did not deprive it of its concerns. The landscape and soil composition were conducive to the rapid progress of the project. The long and difficult history of Massandra Park has seen both a brilliant rise and a tragic fall to the brink of virtual survival, but also the revival of the park in our days. Now it can be roughly divided into two parts - the Upper Park, surrounding the palace, and the much larger Lower Park, descending to the sea.

Foros Park is in no way inferior to its predecessors and neighbors, and in many ways is their worthy successor. Thanks to the colossal funds invested in its foundation by the merchant and industrialist Kuznetsov, this park is considered by many to be the most beautiful park in Greater Yalta. Considering that he completely retained his cute face, we have the opportunity to compare, but in any case we cannot help but admire the titanic work done. Seventy hectares of the park have been developed, of which more than thirty are planted with two hundred species of local and imported exotic trees. Recognized as the heart of the park Paradise, where a system of ponds with fountains, sculptures and rare trees create the best landscape that the hand of man could create.

Much that has been said about Foros Park can be repeated about Kharak Park. The Gasprin estate of Grand Duke Georgiy Mikhailovich cannot boast of a huge palace, but this is fully compensated by the stunning park. The highlight of the estate can be called the brilliant past of this territory, which at one time was the site of a Roman fortified camp. Excavations are carried out periodically to this day, some of their results can be seen firsthand in the park. But it is beautiful in itself; the balanced layout and rich collection of flora, scattered across all forty hectares of area, are conducive to tranquility and contemplation. Kharaksky Park is one of those parks in Greater Yalta that, having retained their original appearance, are accessible to visit in our time.

Unlike the parks described above, Miskhorsky does not belong to any estate or palace. This park became a city park, which, naturally, did not have the best effect on it. This is due to massive developments, but they are not capable of destroying the greatness of the idea. You can walk along the embankment through the park for a long time, but it never ceases to amaze with its beautiful layout, many sculptures, shady paths, a musical fountain, places to relax, flowering flower beds, decorative and relict trees.

If we remember city parks, then we should mention the Primorsky Park named after Yu. Gagarin in Yalta. It is small - it stretches along the sea for only two kilometers, but the concentration of ornamental vegetation is off the charts. It is necessary to note the design of the park - monuments to the great Russian prose writers Chekhov and Gorky, a snow-white colonnade at the entrance to the park, an artificial pond, the contours of which follow the outlines of the Azov and Black Seas. Most of the work was completed after the war; now it is taken care of by workers from many nearby hotels.

Another park in the galaxy of parks in Greater Yalta is located on the territory of the Dyulber complex. The palace was truly built on a royal scale, because it was erected for a member of the imperial family - Grand Duke Peter Nikolaevich Romanov. For an architectural miracle in the oriental style, a luxurious park, filled with architectural details to saturation, with many ponds, fountains, terraces, sculptures, and all this surrounded by whimsical southern plants of a wide variety of species, is quite appropriate. One of the most beautiful places on the territory of the complex there is a platform in front of the main palace, decorated with palm trees.

The Kichkine Palace cannot boast of either a large palace or a large park, but size is not the issue when a specialist from the Nikitsky Garden gets to work. F.K. Kalaida, later director of the botanical garden, created a lovely park with gazebos, grottoes, alleys, and stairs leading to the sea. The decoration of the park with decorative trees was also done with the greatest care and skill.

The green zone of the Nizhnyaya Oreanda sanatorium is a monument of landscape gardening art. The palace, which belonged to the imperial family, burned down back in 1881, but the beautiful park was preserved and is still alive today. Its decoration is the oldest plane tree, which is more than three hundred years old. The initial design of the park in the 30s of the nineteenth century was carried out by gardeners Kebah and Delinger, who proposed to carry it out in the English style. That’s what it was called: “English garden”. In the mid-19th century, the park was redeveloped and expanded to 42 hectares. People came here from all over the world rare species trees and shrubs. The result can be seen to this day - a beautiful, well-kept park, above which rises a rotunda on a rock, a witness to the youth of Lower Oreanda.

Speaking about the parks of Greater Yalta, one cannot help but recall Artek. It makes no sense to list all the parts of its vast territory, which can be called one not large, but a huge park. It has absorbed many pre-revolutionary objects with their own buildings, parks and roads, such as the Suuk-Su resort, the Olizar estate, and Gartvis-Winner Park.

Several alleys were laid out by the Artek residents themselves. The variety of tree and plant species in Artek is amazing; it’s not for nothing that the camp was considered an elite all-Union health resort. “Azure” is one of the most beautiful among the Artek camps, and all thanks to the delightful garden of the Suuk-Su palace, inherited. Bridges, sculptures, terraces and alleys, and the palace itself, surrounded by a dense park, undoubtedly decorated the pioneer health resort.

Chaire Park, known from the popular song, is located in Miskhor and Koreiz on 23 hectares of the territory of the Pine Grove boarding house and Villas Chaire. The park boasts a centuries-old history, dating back to the times when these places were used by local residents to plant gardens, during the time when Crimea was ruled by the khans. To this day, the park is famous for several specimens of trees that are over three hundred years old. But even younger trees retain the glory of Chair as one of the most prominent parks in Greater Yalta.

Just as every estate used to be, so now every self-respecting boarding house strives to have its own park area. Whether big or small - each park in Big Yalta is unique, they also have common features. The owners of the estates tried to take advantage of the fertile climate of the Southern Crimea, so they sought to plant the most exotic trees and shrubs in their parks. This is how the aristocratic lands were populated by sequoiadendrons, Atlas and Himalayan cedars, Lenkoran acacia, overseas species of pine trees and hundreds of other species of heat-loving flora. Moreover, the classic Crimean park is not just a collection of plants, it is a carefully thought-out landscape of the territory, a recreational area offering peaceful walks and aesthetic pleasure with architectural details. The indispensable inhabitants of such a park will be cypress, magnolia, oleander, boxwood, plane tree, strawberry, Crimean pine and other plants of the southern Crimea, which are the indigenous inhabitants of this subtropical paradise.

Treating the whole coast as one big park, it is impossible not to walk around every corner of it and fall in love with it wholeheartedly.

For many Russians, Yalta is their favorite vacation spot. A seaside park, a magnificent embankment, unique palaces and castles, sanatoriums and boarding houses - all this attracts thousands of tourists to this fertile land. Today we want to tell you about the most popular park in the city, where not only guests of the South Coast, but also townspeople love to spend time.

Yalta, Primorsky Park: history of creation

After the end of the Second World War, the restoration of the beautiful Yalta and its green spaces became the most important area of ​​work for many governing bodies of the country. Reports about the restoration of public gardens and parks in Crimea increasingly appeared in newspapers. The main burden fell on the shoulders of the workers of the city's landscaping enterprises - it was necessary to decorate the all-Union resort as quickly as possible.

For this purpose, the Yalta landscaping trust received 1,200,000 rubles at the end of 1946. This made it possible to include in the city restoration plan the construction of a new park on the site of the massif near Zheltyshevsky Beach. The need for a city-wide resort was discussed even before the war. The decision to build it was made by local authorities in February 1947. It was planned that the official opening of the facility would take place on May 1, 1947, so city residents - students and schoolchildren, workers and engineers - actively worked on the preparatory work.

Park layout

The architectural concept of the object was determined by the terrace structure. It was planned to install a fountain on the upper terrace and create shady areas in different parts of the park. The project also included the installation of the Soyuzpechat pavilion and kiosks with refreshing drinks. At that time, the Seaside Park (Yalta) began from the Oreanda Hotel, from the Livadia Bridge, and not from the obelisk.

The current embankment in 1950 was the very first walking alley of the park. All paths were covered with sand during construction; no asphalt was used.

Sculptural compositions

The first sculpture appeared in the park in 1950. She became the “Girl with a Core”. It is interesting that history has not preserved the names of the authors of this composition. The first sculpture was followed by others - “Girl with a Ball”, “Athlete with a Towel”, “Children Playing”.

On the 49th anniversary of the death of A.P. Chekhov, Primorsky Park (Yalta) received a valuable gift. The competition announced in 1947 to create a monument to the writer was won by sculptor G. I. Motovilov. The monument was opened in 1953. The ceremony was attended by Anton Pavlovich's sister Maria Pavlovna, O. L. Knipper-Chekhova, and Moscow Art Theater artists.

Vegetation

The palm alley, popular today, was founded in 1952. At that time, it consisted of 100 specimens of ten-year-old trachycarpus. In addition to palm trees, more than 3,000 trees were planted - plane trees and cedars, plums and pines, etc. Plants were imported from nurseries. Old postcards show that during the construction of the obelisk, old trees were preserved as much as possible, and the terraces were planted with roses. Already in 1954, more than 8,000 bushes were planted in the park. Preference was given to the varieties selected by N. Kostetsky Ukrainka, Rodina, French roses Lyon, La France, Marechal Niel, Belle de Nikita.

Nursery

Yalta gradually recovered after the war and became prettier. Since 1955, Primorsky Park has become not only the main resort park, but also the main nursery of Kurortzelenstroy. Effective work to decorate the territory of the mentioned cultural site allowed the team of this landscaping organization to achieve the right to become a participant in the All-Union Agricultural Exhibition held in Moscow.

Thirty-four workers became participants in VDNKh. In the early spring of 1955, perennial pines, magnolias, cedars, as well as standard roses and evergreen shrubs were sent to the capital. At the end of the year, most of them were awarded medals of VDNKh participants.

After finishing the design of the lower section, another entrance to the park (third) was opened from Livadia. A sculpture of a deer was installed here. Why exactly a deer? There is no answer to this question. Probably, according to the creators, the sculpture was supposed to be reminiscent of Foros Park, where similar sculptures were found.

In 1974, a rose garden was laid out in the western, lower part of Primorsky Park. Twelve thousand bushes were planted according to the project of N. I. Verevochkina. In order for the rose garden to bloom continuously from May to December, we selected certain varieties of roses - late, medium and early flowering. The next year, the garden dazzled with its splendor, but, unfortunately, this was the only triumph. In winter, more than half of the bushes were stolen, and other flower beds were planted in this place.

Park today

Seaside Park (Yalta), according to most local residents, is the most beautiful in the city. From the side of the Sevastopol Highway, the entrance to it is a majestic colonnade arch with observation decks and stairs. From here you can go down to the central alleys of the recreation area. The staircase railings are decorated with flowerpots, and majestic

In the center of the park, at its highest point, there is a viewing platform, decorated with a swimming pool of an original shape. With its outlines it resembles the contour of the Black Sea. On both sides of it there are two semicircular rotundas. The central part of the park is especially elegant and interesting, where luxurious rose bushes and spreading palm trees are planted along the alleys. In 1956, a monument to Maxim Gorky was erected on the central alley.

Crimea (Yalta) has always been famous for its rich vegetation. The seaside park today has more than a hundred species of trees. Among them are such rare species as Judas tree, Aleppo pine, acute ash and others. This magnificent park is a great place to relax. There are bowling clubs, tennis courts, discos and cafes, attractions and children's playgrounds.
