Travel Guide Gurzuf (Гурзуф)

12 000 inhabitants. This resort is located only 12 km from Yalta (and is also part of the Grande Yalta). Its wooden houses and winding alleys have always attracted writers and painters by making Gurzuf the favourite place of Russian and Soviet Bohemian. Less tourism and less polluted than it is, the village of Gurzuf has become the favourite destination for holiday students. The mountains, the most famous of which is Bear Mount (Аю-Даг), which rises over 1 500 m, appear to be coming directly from the sea. A curiosity: next to Gurzuf was the legendary summer camp Artek, which each year welcomed thousands of Soviet children, a true children's republic and a showcase of Soviet successes in the area of childhood.To get there. Marshroutka 31 from the Yalta bus station.
