Novyi Svit

Cape Kapchyk is the most memorable element of the Novyi Svit landscape. Behind it, the pointed peak of Mount Khoba-Kaya, separated from Kapchyk by the Blue Bay, can be seen.

From Novyi Svit, you can take a path to the rocky slope of Cape Kapchyk. There is a 77-meter-long Through Grotto that pierces the cape, leading to the impassable area of the Blue Bay. Unlike many Crimean caves, underground water did not participate in the formation of the Through Cave. The deep cracks and the wedge-shaped profile of the cave suggest that the high underground gallery appeared as a result of uneven movement of Cape Kapchyk limestone along several faults.

The picturesque Mount Karaul-Oba protects the bays and juniper groves of the Novyi Svit from the west.

The name is translated from Crimean Tatar as "watchman's mountain" - from here you can see the entire coast from Cape Meganom to Mount Ayu-Dag. At the top, the famous "Holitsyn's chair" is cut out of stone, sitting in it you can admire the views of the Novyi Svit amphitheater and three colorful bays: Rozbiynytska, Blue and Green.

The ancient Tavr sanctuary can be reached by spiral stairs cut in the stone through the "Adam's bed" gorge. At the western end are the remains of the walls and the houses of the ancient fortress built by the Bosporan king Asander.

At the foot of Mount Karaul-Oba is the "Royal Beach" with crystal-clear transparent blue water.

Mountain "Sokil" (Kush-Kaya - "bird rock") rises 474 meters above sea level between Sudak and Novyi Svit.

It is an ancient coral reef, which is considered the largest in the Crimea and even in all of Europe. It was formed 140-165 million years ago at the bottom of the ancient Tethys ocean from colonies of corals and sponges.

Many archaeological monuments of the ancient and Byzantine periods have been preserved in the area of ​​Mount Sokil (Falcon). A breathtaking panorama of the Southern coast of Crimea opens from the top. Climbing the mountain is quite difficult, fans are recommended to be accompanied by professional climbers.
