Hill sights in Kerch

  1. Panticapaeum

    The ruins of the ancient city of Panticapaeum have been revealed in an ongoing archaeological dig. Take the 432 stairs up the central Mithridates Hill - even if you have to pick you way through the broken beer bottles that litter every single one of those steps. The view from the summit is brilliant, and on the leeside is Panticapaeum. Be careful coming back down the stairs, especially at the prime viewing time of dusk, as a crucial railing is missing.
