Crimea is one of the best-known peninsulas on the Black Sea. The region is associated with ancient Greek colonies, Crimean Tatar history, mountain landscapes, coastal resorts and port cities such as Sevastopol and Yalta.
The peninsula combines steppe landscapes in the north, the Crimean Mountains near the south coast and seaside towns along the Black Sea. Historic places, old trading ports and resort traditions all help explain why Crimea has long been a prominent destination in Eastern Europe.
