The beach is divided into two sections. One is closed, as it is the territory of the hotel. The other is open to the public. The beach is pebbly, but the pebbles are quite small, so you can walk, even barefoot.

Since the botanical garden has a scientific orientation, many specialists and professionals work here. Their duties include not only taking care of the garden, but preserving the collection of fruit crops that have been planted since the foundation of the park: peaches, apricots, cherries, pears, figs, olives and others. New varieties are also being developed here, storage technologies are being improved...

If you have looked through all the rare specimens of the Upper Park, it is time for you to get acquainted with the Lower Park and its representatives. And the heroes of this place are representatives of a distant Central Asia: pomegranate, date, fig. Today they are considered ordinary fruits, but if you know a little more about them, they deserve special respect.

The village of Nikita is famous all over the world for its botanical garden. The garden was founded in 1812 by X. X. Steven, a Russian gardener of Swedish origin, with the support of the Governor-General of the Novorossiysk Territory, Duke A. de Richelieu. At the beginning of the 19th century, parks were created everywhere on the South Bank. The nobles, who improved their estates, were forced to order seedlings and seeds from abroad. Then the idea arose to have at hand, in the Crimea, a collection of necessary plants, to study the characteristics of local species and to test the influence of the natural conditions of the region on exotics brought from afar.

When laying the garden, a huge amount of work was done. New roads were cut on the rocky slopes, terraces were built, which were filled with earth brought from the fertile regions of Little Russia. The result of hard work was the heavenly splendor of the garden, making it the most popular tourist attraction in the Crimea.

A tour of the garden, the entrance to which is paid, usually starts from the Upper Park, laid out at the end of the 19th century. The abundance of flowers of exotic trees is amazing from the very beginning. Here you can find plants from all over the world. The evergreen holm oak came here from the Mediterranean region, the bamboo grove - from China, the birthplace of the giant dendron sequoia is North America. There are also many indigenous Crimeans here, for example, poisonous yew berry, small-fruited strawberry, pistachio tupolist. One of the pistachio trees is officially considered the oldest plant in the Crimea. Its age is over 1500 years! The circumference of the trunk at the base is 935 centimeters, the height of the tree is 10 meters. In the park's rose garden, which has collected a unique collection of two thousand types of roses, delightful roses bloom almost all year round, some varieties of them are bred by breeders of the Nikitsky Garden.

The descent down the slope leads to the Lower Park - the oldest part of the botanical garden. The trees planted here are a little less than 200 years old. There are many heat-loving plants here: trachycarpus palms, Japanese persimmon, Basio banana and many others. Water lilies flaunt in a round pool. Closer to the sea is the Seaside Park, laid out for the 100th anniversary of the garden. It has the mildest climate, so many subtropical trees and shrubs are planted. A large collection of cacti deserves attention.

Every autumn, the Nikitsky Botanical Garden hosts a magnificent Chrysanthemum Ball. Here you can see more than 300 species of these beautiful flowers. Numerous visitors determine the most beautiful, in their opinion, chrysanthemum, and she becomes the queen of the ball. About 50 thousand tourists visit the exhibition every year.

The Nikitsky Botanical Garden is a serious scientific institution. Its collection contains about 30 thousand species of plants. In 2000, the botanical garden, whose area is 1000 hectares, was given the status of the National Science Center. Garden breeders have bred many new plant species, including new varieties of fruit trees. Suffice it to say that half of the territory of gardens in the South of Ukraine is planted with varieties bred here.

In the vicinity of Nikita is the Nikitskaya cleft. This gorge with reddish cliffs and lush greenery often serves as a natural setting for the filming of adventure films and fairy tale films. The cleft has been declared a natural monument: it maintains a microclimate that allows several dozen species of picturesque plants to coexist peacefully in a small area.

Reserve "Cape Martyan", tel. +38 0654 336539

At the beginning of the 19th century, the territory of Cape Martyan, located east of Yalta, became part of the newly created Nikitsky Botanical Garden. Despite the fact that the workers of the botanical garden for a century and a half carefully protected the rarest plant species growing here, the Mediterranean forest, unique even for the southern coast of Crimea, was still subjected to constant extermination.

In 1973, the national reserve "Cape Martyan" was founded on this territory. Its total area was 240 hectares, of which 120 are in the adjacent waters of the Black Sea. This is the smallest natural reserve in Ukraine, however, 537 plant species are found on its territory, that is, a fifth of all species growing in the Crimea. 38 plant species are listed in the Red Book of Ukraine, and 6 are taken under special international control. The most valuable are forests of high juniper and small-fruited strawberries.

The relief of the reserve is replete with numerous ravines, gullies, hollows, gullies, terraces. Under the action of sea waves, ledges and cliffs of coastal slopes, coastal stone landslide plumes, remnant islands, and underwater rocks are formed. Under the centuries-old influence of sea waves, a long belt of pebble beaches has formed. A visit to the reserve is possible only as part of an organized tour. Access to the territory for unorganized groups is prohibited.
