Yalta is one of the most popular Crimean resorts. This city is very ancient, though before it was just a Tauri settlement. The Tauri lived in the Crimea during the period from the X-IX centuries. Later from the middle of 15-th century up to the 1774 centuries Yalta was included in the province owned by Turkish sultan.
Later beginning from 1475 up to 1774 Yalta was included into one of the provinces owned by Turks. Yalta can be reached via the Volga River, via the Black Sea on Russian cruises.

Only in 1783 Yalta had been included in Russia. During the time Yalta began to develop into one of the best resort cities of Russia. Only in 1838 Yalta got the status of a town. Due to the construction of the railway Lozovaia-Sevastopol in1873 Yalta began to develop more rapidly.

Beginning from the XX-th century many sanatoriums were constructed in Yalta, which contributed to the flow of tourists to this magnificent resort. As Yalta is surrounded by mountain it is always warm there.

There are a lot of modern and comfortable hotels that offer high standard services& restaurants of Yalta offer wide range of cuisine, including Russian, European, French and many others.

Many famous artists, performers and singers of Russia like to spend summer in Yalta. Many festivals are held here every year that attract tourists from different countries. I recommend visiting Yalta on Russian river crusies that sail via Volga river Russia.
