The Baydar Gate pass through the main ridge of the Crimean Mountains connects the Baydary Valley with the Black Sea coast.
The height of the pass is 503 meters above sea level.
The antique portico (gate) on the pass was built in 1848 in honor of the completion of the construction of the Sevastopol-Yalta road (the old Sevastopol road). The architect is Karl Eschliman. The massive gate is made of limestone blocks. The staircase leads to two spectacular platforms, from which a wonderful panorama of the Crimean coast opens with the Foros Church in the foreground.
There is a parking lot, a cafe and a souvenir market.
