Yalta Things to Do Tips by nut_meg

There is a lovely Chekhov museum in Yalta (the white dasha), where he spent the latter part of his (ill) life. However, the Lonely Planet guide books forgets to tell you that on the walk up to this museum, there is also another Chekhov museum. This is a house where Chekhov did stay, but not the big museum. It is only 2 rooms, one of Ukrainian/Russian writing and pictures, and the other with a desk by a window kitted out as it would be in Chekhovs day. This is a lovely little museum, but a bit pricey for the minimal things to see. So if you are walking up vul Kirova to the main museum, it is not the first Chekhov sign you see!!! Instead keep on going up the hill and it is the second one (quite a way up, but a beautiful walk).
