Crimea, known since ancient times as "The Tauride", the name attributed to it, is the birthplace of such famous myths as those of Jason and the Golden Fleece and Iphigenia. Many artists. as Euripides, Goethe or Pushkin were inspired in this

mythology to develop their world.

And the South coast, bordered by mountains and the Black Sea, has become in the late 19th century the favored vacation spot of

the Tsars, who started to build their palaces there. The many forests and caves still help stimulate the imagination of visitors.
