Hello dear Guests of  Traveltocrimea agency!

Balaclava, what definitions we hear when we are visiting this charming place in Crimea. Is it a Fish bay as Turkich people named it once with Genoese Fortress Chembalo , or place of bloody battles during Crimear war, or place for top-secret Black Sea fleet underground complex. Nowadays I would propose to call this place a Paradise on Earth for nature lovers, photographers, just simple travelers. Look yourself at photos and you will understand everything. Just enjoy your virtual trip to Balaclava.

The project of Balaclava reformation will be performed coming spring in Cannes, reported during conference Aleksey Pertin, Manager “Smart Group”.

Balaclava in Spring

The new project of Balaclava is developed by the leading architects, who have experience in building throughout in Europe and China. Aleksey Pertin considers Balaclava must become touristic centre, as there aren’t only a few unique bays in the world. “Balaclava is a pearl of Crimea. Our aim is to create the national resort here. Of course, there is also high level of responsibility. We have to think over very carefully. Believe, this resort complex will be one of the best in the world”, declared the Manager “Smart Group”.

On previous information “Smart-Holding” is going to wind down the flux digging in Balaclava in the next  few years. And on the place of the giant Kadikovskiy open pit and by the Mount of Gasfort will be created resort complexes which cost more than milliards dollars.

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 »

Sevastopol is a city of the wonderful destiny and history. It was founded in 1783 as a naval fortress and got the name of Sevastopol which in Greek means a city worth  of worship.

The city has justified its proud name, it has become a symbol of military valour and unexampled heroism.

In those days in autumn of 1854 Russia came to know about the civic feat of Dasha of Sevastopol. She went down in history as the first sister of charity. When the Crimean war began she sold her house, bought a horse, dressed as a sailor and went to the river Alma. There the Russians were fighting against British, French and Turkish in the battle of the Alma. It was the first time in the history of Russia that first aid was given in the field during a battle.

Balaclava was the epicentre of Crimean war (1853-1856). Under the patronage of brothers Sheremetyev was opened the unique museum “Crimean War”. This exhibition is the biggest  museum collection of rare objects of the period Crimean war across the globe.
Here are collected all types of the cannons, all kind of cannon shots, all cold guns, all uniforms. The whole collection of the rewards.

The Balaclava’s  Collection “Crimean War” was formed without any government support, and will be performed in Balaclava for 3 years.
