During the Soviet era Balaklava was completely closed to anyone who didn't live there. The reason is the former Soviet nuclear submarine base burrowed into the cliff under the Tavros mountain. It is now a museum which includes a tour of the James Bond movie-like submarine tunnel and dry dock. Good value and a good opportunity escape the high summer Crimea heat.
Tavricheskaya Quay 22, Balaklava
Most amazing views off the island to Kowloon. Cheap and clean as well if you are travelling on a budget. Loads of wildlife to be spotted on the path up the hill. Get a taxi up there the first day though - the walk up is not recommended with luggage.
