Holidays in the Crimea for many are associated with crowds of people on the beaches and transport problems. Indeed, direct trains do not go to Crimea at the moment, but the ferry crossing the Kerch Strait will certainly become part of an exciting journey, especially for children. A comfortable ferry room with comfortable soft sofas, a bar and huge windows that offer magnificent views of the Crimean sea expanses will present a romantic hour of approaching the mysterious land.

For example, to Syuyrensky fortress and monastery Chelter-Koba with a unique yew grove. Of the natural attractions, it is worth noting the Kokkozka River, which originates in Sokolin, and the small grotto of Danilich-Koba.

Eagle Flight and Boar Pass
Another interesting place that the estate workers advise to visit is the Eagle Flight plateau. The plateau got such a telling name because it was chosen by these graceful predators. Getting to the plateau from the village of Sokolinoe is very easy, they are only 2 km away.
You can enjoy the picturesque views and the mountain serpentine after breaking the Bicske pass. Its other name is Kabaniy Pass, opinions about the origin of this name differ. Some argue that wild boars live in these places, in whose honor the pass was named, and someone compares a mountain road with a pig's tail. In the old days, caravans, merchants, and merchants traveling from the Principality of Theodoro to the Baydar Valley and back used this road.
To the east of the village is the mystical mountain range Boyko, which travelers called the Crimean Shambhala for the strange things that are happening here. It is more difficult to get to it than to the rest of the sights, the road leading to the mountain runs through the Grand Canyon, and therefore only submits to avid tourists. But not very prepared travelers can visit the Karagol canyon: 5 km along an easy-to-walk trail, and you will find yourself in a completely different world with a fantastic landscape.
A large military base is located on Mount Beden-Kir, whose buildings resemble an observatory rather like eggs of a huge bird, which made a nest in a quiet comfortable place.
