The village of Sokolyne at the foot of Mount Ai-Petri is the informal capital of the mountainous Crimea.
Located on the northern slopes of the Crimean Mountains, on the route Bakhchysarai-Yalta. From here, many mountain hiking trails to the Grand Canyon and Mount Eagle Bay begin.
The Tatar village of Kokkozy in the XIX century was the estate of Prince Yusupov, surrounded by hunting grounds. The Yusupov Palace (1910) has been preserved, and the Crimean Tatar Cultural and Ethnographic Center "Kokkoz" operates.
In 1945, the village of Kokkozy was renamed Sokolin after the deportation of Crimean Tatars to Central Asia.
In the gorge of the Small Canyon, 4.5 kilometers south of Sokolyne is a waterfall "Silver Streams".

"Eagle Flight" Rock (Sedam-Kaya)
Natural object
The rock "Eagle's Flight" (in Tatar - Sedam-Kaya) is located 2 kilometers south of the village of Sokolyne (the trail begins near the road master's house on the Yalta Highway).
The rocks rise near the edge of the Ai-Petri Yayla and resemble the outstretched wings of a giant bird.
The neighboring mountain Suyuryu-Kaya (a limestone massif that separated from the main ridge and slid into the Kokkozka valley) resembles an eagle taking off.
On the way to the viewing platform (1,000 meters above sea level) is the "Danylcha-Koba" cave with a source of drinking water.
Great Canyon of Crimea
Natural object
The Great Canyon of the Crimea is a natural monument located on the Yalta-Simferopol highway, behind the Ai-Petri pass (the northern slope of the Yayla).
It is a deep, forest-covered mountain gorge (3 kilometers long), which arose 1.5-2 million years ago as a result of tectonic ruptures and the washing of rocks by the waters of the Auzun-Uzen River.
Picturesque rapids, many waterfalls, rapids and "cauldrons". The most famous is the "Bath of Youth" (depth up to 4 meters, water temperature 11 degrees).
