I travelled here by public transport on a day trip from Yalta. I can recommend to come here especially if you read about Russian history and the Crimean war for instance.
If you come here don't miss going to the Unesco protected Khersones at the edge of town! For Khersones see the tips under "Off the beaten track". |
|  | Sevastopol was founded in 1787 by Russian sailors, shortly after the annexion through Catherine II. The city and its surroundings have 38 bays. Until in the 1990s the city was a closed one due the navy. Today both the Ukrainian and the Russian navies have their home here.
But already in 422 till 421 BC the Greeks founded Khersones. So this area has been settled for a very long time by people from various tribes and nations. |

an interesting page about a city I sometimes passed by in a big distance by cruiseship, and in the times of cold war there was no way to get there at all... | HORSCHECK Wed Dec 6, 2006 21:35 UTC
Fabulantastic page..Sevastopol is definitely among the places I would love to visit one day. These former Soviet military bases have a certain fascination, haven't they? Keep up the good work ... :o) | Kuznetsov_Sergey Wed Dec 6, 2006 20:42 UTC
Thanks, Sonja, great work! I happened to be in Sevastopol in 1967. I'm going to Crimea on this Russian Roghdestvo (January,7). May be i'll happen to visit Sevastopol one more time, but not shure... | Mariajoy Wed Dec 6, 2006 17:00 UTC
