Cape Ai-Fock


Ai-Fok is a mountain named after St. Foka, the patron saint of gardeners and seafarers. It has a flat top and dug up the long slopes. It is located in the south-eastern part of the Crimea, in the interfluve of the rivers Raven and Shelen, near the Black Sea coast, near the eponymous cape. From the west of the mountain there is the village of Morskoye. At the southern foot of the road passes R-29 (Alushta - Sudak - Feodossia). In the late 1990s, in the vicinity of the mountain, archaeologists discovered the foundations of several small churches from the 17th to the 18th century.


At Cape Ai-Fok, the ruins of an ancient monastery are found. Here, as in the village of Novy Svet, there is a grove of the relic Pitsunda pine - Stankevich pine, listed in the Red Book. The truth on the south coast of this pine meets more significant massifs, but this part of the peninsula is unique to the neighborhood of Pitsunda pine with other rare species of dendroflora, for example, juniper tall, pistachio tusola and Crimean pine.

Water on the beach Ai-Fok is calm, clean and with an interesting underwater world that attracts snorkels and divers.
