Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
Another local attraction is the nearby Lisya Bukhta (Fox Bay). For the full libertarian
experience, you can pitch a tent at this long, sandy beach about a 2.5km walk west of
Kurortne. Clothing is optional here and the place is isolated. There are several Tatar
beach restaurants with a Jamaican twist.
The easiest way to reach Kurortne is on a (bio-station) marshrutka . These travel from
the central Feodosiya bus station via Koktebel to central Kurortne (13.50uah), before
continuing to the Kara-Dag Nature Reserve. Travelling from Sudak, get off at Shcheb-
etovka on the Sudak-Feodosiya road, then change for the bio-station marshrutka .

red-and-black furniture are in two-floor cottages with glassy front walls that you can
open to catch the breeze at night, if you prefer it to the air-con.
Café Rushana CRIMEAN TATAR$$$

tablecloths and armchairs covered in Oriental floral ornaments. A creative take on tradi-
tional Central Asian food.
Kara-Dag Nature Reserve
06562
The Kara-Dag Nature Reserve is a true Jurassic Park. Its dramatic landscape is the work
of an extinct volcano (Kara-Dag, or 'Black Mountain' in Tatar) that spewed lava and
debris over land and sea during the Jurassic period. Over millennia, the elements have
moulded the volcanic rocks into striking shapes, with names like 'The Devil's Finger',
'The King and the Earth', and the most striking, 'Golden Gate' (Zolote Vorota) , a freest-
anding arch in the sea. These all circle the 575m craggy Mt Kara-Dag.
