The resort village of Okunivka is located on the western coast of Crimea (Tarkhankut Peninsula), 25 kilometers south of the Chornomorske.
It has been known since the 19th century as the small Tatar village of Tarpanchy. According to one version, "TTarpanchy" is a hunter of wild horses, and according to another, the name comes from the Turkic word "tarpan", which means a grape press.
Near Okunivka is the Scythian settlement of Tarpanchi, which arose in the 2nd century BC on the site of an older ancient Greek settlement.
The seashore is steep, the beach is narrow: pebbles and sand.
Курортне село Окунівка розташоване на західному узбережжі Криму (півострів Тарханкут), в 25 кілометрах на південь від Чорноморського.
Відоме з XIX століття як маленьке татарське селище Тарпанчи. За однією з версій, "Тарпанчи" - це мисливець на диких коней, а за іншою - назва походить від тюркського слова "тарпан", що означає виноградна чавильня.
Поруч з Окунівкою знаходиться скіфське городище Тарпанчі, що виникло в II столітті до нашої ери на місці більш давнього античного грецького поселення.
Берег моря стрімкий, пляж вузький: галька і пісок.
Tarpanchi Hillfort
Archaeological site
The Hillfort of Tarpanchi is located on a promontory slightly protruding into the sea, on the eastern outskirts of the village of Okunivka (former Tarpanchi), bounded on two sides by beams.
These are the remains of an ancient manor, covered by a late Scythian fortification. In the 4th century BC, colonists founded a settlement here, which was part of the sphere of influence of Chersonesus. In the 2nd century BC, the settlement was captured by the Scythians and a fortress with four towers was built on the site of the manor. The defensive ditch was veneered with stone. Villages adjoined the fortress on two sides: East Tarpanchi and West Tarpanchi.
You can see the remains of primitive stone walls up to 2.8 meters thick, as well as the foundations of towers, residential and commercial buildings.
