Форос - найзахідніший куточок Великої Ялти і найпівденніша точка Криму.
З цим місцем пов'язують давньогрецьку легенду про Іфігенію, жрицю храму богині Діви, яка приносила в жертву мореплавців, що сюди потрапляли.
В IX-XIII століттях Форос був відомий як морський порт, населений греками (грецькою Форос - мито).
В 1834 році побудований Кузнецовський палац, розбитий парк (зараз - територія санаторію "Форос"). Тут бували Горький, Шаляпін.
На східній околиці розташована держдача "Зоря", де під час путчу 1991 року перебував під домашнім арештом президент СРСР Михайло Горбачов.
Поблизу перевалу "Байдарські ворота" знаходиться Церква Вознесіння Христового, побудована таким чином, що здається ніби вона висить в повітрі.

Ilyas-Kaya Mount
Natural object , Archaeological site
Mount Ilyas-Kaya is the highest massif of Baidarska Yayla (682 meters). It closes the Laspin basin from the east. Translated from Crimean Tatar - Ilya's rock.
A fortified monastery was located almost at the very top of the Ilyas-Kaya mountain in the 10th-13th centuries. The rock on which the fortification is located is impregnable from the north, south and west. You can climb to its top only by a steep eastern slope. From this side, the access to the top was blocked by a line of fortress wall, made of logs on a lime solution, more than 50 meters long. Currently, it is almost completely destroyed and can be traced on the slope in the form of collapsed stones. The largest parameters of the fortress site are 300 by 100 meters.
In 1966, the church of Saint Ilya of the 9th-10th centuries was excavated on Ilyas-Kaya. It is distinguished by the original stepped composition of the internal space: the vestibule, the middle nave, and the altar are elevated one above the other, forming three levels.

Historic area
Laspinskiy Pass in Crimea is the highest point of the Sevastopol-Yalta highway (335 meters).
There is a large rock on the pass named after the famous writer and talented highway engineer Mykola Garin-Mykhaylovsky, whose research and calculations were used in the construction of the road through the pass.
