Balaclava is one of the districts of Sevastopol 12 km far from the city centre. Geographically Balaclava is the most convenient bay of Black Sea. It’s narrow (200-400 m) and deep (till 17 m). There are no storms. The Balaclava bay isn’t seen from Black Sea side, that is why numerous ships stayed hidden in Balaclava.

The age of this place is more than 3000 years old.  First lived there Tauris, the native inhabitans of the Crimea. Splendid and beautiful town of Balaclava is situated in a small cosy bay. The ancient Greeks who settled here in 422 called this locality  Syumbolon Limpe that is Harbour of Signs or Persage. More »
