Cape Opuk


The territory of the cape Opuk and Mount Opuk, as well as the adjacent marine area, is a nature reserve.
At Opuk Cape was the city of the Milesian Greeks. Kimmerik lived and flourished in ancient times as a coastal outpost of the Bosporan kingdom - there were ruins of walls, quarries and pits of "black archaeologists”. Now in the depths of the quarries live colonies of bats, and on the rocks nest pink starlings.

Greeks traded with Neapolitans Crimean wheat. Departing from the coast of their peninsula, the non-Apollo went empty, but in the Mediterranean, Aegean and Black there are storms - sailors loaded ballast, which, after a safe arrival to the banks of Taurida, without anybody dumped overboard at Cape Opuk. Ballast was the usual sand from the beaches, that of the volcano Vesuvius. The same Vesuvian sand is still washed on the shore of the Crimean beach at Cape Opuk.



The entire territory of the cape is a bare wild steppe, only a rare turn of a thorn or a hawthorn, and sometimes stones with unusual outlines, for example, in the southeastern part of the cape near the spring on the side of the boulder a carved female face is found in which the similarity with the goddess Demeter is found.

On the cape of Opuk there is an unusual lake. LakeKoyashskoe changes the color of water several times a year from richly crimson to gently pink. Lake Koyashkoe is isolated from the Black Sea by a sandy oblique width of about 100 m.





At the sand spit from the sea - the place of immersing divers In the thickness of the water keeps its secrets a flooded ship.

At 7 km south of Lake Kojashko, there is an amazing field of wild tulips.





From Cape Opuk, cliff-ships are clearly visible. Stone cliffs of 10 to 23 m in height were lined up at a distance of about 6 km from the shore.
