Partenit - a popular holiday destination.It is conveniently located directly along the coastline, so in order to swim, you do not need to climb mountains, as in some other resorts of the Crimea. In the beach season, it is filled to the full by resort visitors.
So what sights Partenit will give odds to walks along the Yalta embankment? They are not enough for such a small village.
Ayudag
This mountain, resembling a bear, which buried its face in the sea, is known far beyond the Crimea.
Interestingly, Ayudag is a failed volcano.It is valuable for its minerals. The mountain consists of gabbro-diabase - an igneous rock, which is often used as a lining. It is this mineral that treated the stands on the Red Square. If you carefully look at your feet, climbing the mountain path, you can find pyrite - a pebble, at a glance like gold. In fact, it consists of sulfur and iron. The ancient Incas made him a mirror.
Partenit, Crimea (landmarks): Turquoise Lake
Yes, it is exactly the color of water in it.The lake is located at an altitude of 610 meters and is fed by underground sources. You can easily climb on foot or come to the SUV. For those who want to spend the night near the water surface there is a paid tourist parking.
Partenit (sights): "Karasan"
This palace is one of the first places in the list.must-visit. Now the sanatorium of the same name is located here, and earlier it was the Raevsky estate. The main building was built in the Moorish style. Rich stucco, delicate wood carving, rich ornamental pattern, spacious terraces and attic, small domes on the roof brighten up the massiveness of the building and make it light and airy.
Gagarin Palace
Sometimes it seems that a holiday in a small village is notpromises special oks and ahah from contact with the beautiful. Nevertheless, such sights of Partenit as the estate of Princess Gagarina destroy this stereotype.
It is a symbol of love and loyalty.In 1907, the widowed princess Anastasia Davidovna built a compact palace in the Romanesque style for her early deceased husband. The project was developed by architect N. Krasnov. With its turrets with battlements and narrow window-loopholes, it looks like a medieval castle. The color scheme of the facade is reminiscent of the Massandra Palace: terracotta tiles on the roof and walls of ivy covered with a warm yellow shade with stone facing look very organic. The atmosphere of light sadness reigns here, which is set by the monument to the sad young princess with a rose in her hands.
Stone Museum
There are such unique sights.Partenit, who have no equal in the whole world. An example is this museum. Local resident Alexander Kulish collected a truly unique exhibition of more than 4 thousand exhibits. From all over the world - from the Caucasus, the Urals, America - he brings fossils and gems, common and not quite. Some look at all unsightly. But in his workshop, Alexander gets to the core of the stone, and then gaze opens to wonderful pictures painted millions of years ago without any human participation. And fantasy helps to see in these abstractions even certain subjects (for example, Peter the Great, who admires the ship, a flock of mammoths or a sunset). The owner of the museum has learned to find the soul of the stone and remove it from the heavy-duty shell. Do not visit this museum - it is to deprive yourself of delight from the beauty of nature.
