Three ranges of mountains run parallel with the southern and eastern coasts, culminating in Roman Kosh, a peak which rises 5,060 feet above the sea level, and is surrounded by other peaks between 3000 and 4000 feet in height. The abrupt Southern slopes are very picturesque, gaining the attention of rock climbers from around the world. 
The southern coast is very popular tourist area due to its beauty. The cliffs rise abruptly from the water to the height of 2000, 3000, and even 4000 feet, and are crowned with dream-like domes, pyramids, and spires of rock. 

The northern slopes are not very steep, gently rising to the plateau. 





Although the peaks will be covered with snow in mid-winter, the sub-tropical, dry climate does not posses the biting cold associated normally with winter and snow. Snow is rare for the southern coast of the Crimea, although the mountain tops are snow covered during December until the beginning of April. 

Hiking and snow skiing during these months is very enjoyable. 



The mountains of the Crimea are covered with dense forest and wild flowers here grow more abundantly than in any other part of Europe. 

Spring brings forth nature at its best. Wild flowers and trees begin to bloom and shower the country side with an unbelievable beauty that is breathtaking. 

The woods and meadows are carpeted with many beautiful varieties, of which some are found no where else in the world except the Crimean mountains. It is abundant with wildlife, and is home to reindeer, wild boar, mountain goats, rabbits and foxes.
