a height of 474 m above sea level, 1200 meters long and 1,000 meters wide, it
is the largest coral reef in the Crimea.
The name of the mountain is due to the fact that on
the northeast side it resembles a bird spreading its wings. It came to our days
and the name given by the Romans - the Senator, apparently, it was so christened
for the majestic view.

What to see on Mount Sokol?
On the mountain itself, there is really nothing to
look at. But its top is not covered with forest, like the top of Ayu-Dag, for
example, and it has excellent views on a fairly large part of the South Coast.
So, looking to the west, you will see the village of
Novy Svet and its bay.
In the east you will see a view of Sudak, the Genoese
fortress and Cape Meganom.
In good weather you can see the peaks of Kara-Dag.
After a good look, far away in the south-west you can
see the highest plateau in the Crimea - Babugan-yaila, on which the highest
point of Crimea is located - the top Roman-Kosh.
And right under you the land converges with the sea.
