Jill Young

Whilst in the Crimea - I would certainly recommend visiting the Panorama Museum in Sevastopol. This incredible example of the famous battle was painted in 6 June 1855 to commemorate the Defence of Sevastopol during the Crimean War of 1854-1855 and restored in 1954 after suffering much damage in World War II. Housed in a totally circular building with a continuous painting around the inside walls. You stand in the centre whilst they play the sound of men at war during the Crimean War. The painting is brought to life with objects and guns etc protruding from the painting. I thought I was in the command bunker with all the fields spread in front of me!

Yalta City Breaks

Yalta, nestling in a coastal alcove at the base of the picturesque Crimean Mountains, makes a superb year-round holiday destination. Its position protects the town from the elements, giving Yalta a unique microclimate. Autumn visitors can stroll amongst the palm trees in brilliant sunshine.

The town itself is a jumble of winding little streets stretching around the seafront. Restaurants, casinos, shops and bars line the main promenade, which is crowded with street hawkers offering everything from palm reading to portrait photos in 18th-century costumes. The town owes its de-rigueur status as an elegant resort to Tsar Alexander II. Alexander was so captivated by Yalta he created his summer residence at nearby Livadia, thereby initiating a wave of aristocratic palace-building projects along the coast.
