A
Chairlift
This flimsy plastic-bucket-style chairlift swings above the rooftops to Darsan, to a bizarre pseudo-Greek temple and lookout that’s popular for impromptu teenage parties.

Intourist
If you’re happy to tag along on one of Intourist’s many crowded day tours, great. If you want something different, tough. Customisation isn’t a speciality here.

Outdoor Ukraine
Crimea has some fantastic hiking opportunities but a scarcity of really good topographical maps with marked routes. In addition, a total lack of English signs mean that Westerners will find the going more challenging than usual. Guided tours such as those offered by Outdoor Ukraine are recommended.

Vremena Goda
For something a little special, visit this spa hotel and medical centre for its chocolate massages and mud treatments. With clean, modern lines complemented by a few Art Nouveau stained-glass windows, the ‘Four Seasons’ is within fairly easy reach (a 10- to 15 -minute walk) of the high-season action.
