Why not VISIT Cave Towns of the Crimea? There are some of them - Chufut-Kale, Mangup, ESKI-KERMEN, Tepe-Kermen. I think Eski-Kermen is one of Ukraine's most UNUSUAL places. The length of the plateau is 1040 metres, it is 170 metres at its widest point and the height above sea level is about 400 metres. Archaeologists think that in the 6th-8th centures Eski-Kermen was a first-rate FORTRESS for its time. It was IMPOSSIBLE to attack it using MOBILE TOWERS because of the rocky mountains, whose HEIGHT sometimes reaches 30-40 metres. Besides, Eski-Kermen residents could store thousands of centners of grain and water. Eski-Kermen was not only a fortress, but also a major CENTRE OF TRADE and commerce. The town continued to exist for another 500 years. But all the dwellings were destroyed by the FIRE in the late 13th century. People had no time to leave their houses. The town never returned to life. Today Eski-Kermen is a POPULAR tourist attraction. COME and EXPERIENCE the beauty of Eski-Kermen for yourself, but please take care when you visit it! Eski-Kermen is in the Crimea, in Ukraine.
