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.
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.
