Swallow's Nest.

Russian-language article (translation in progress).

Two thousand years ago Romans sailed these waters that are visited each year by numerous tourists today. A small castle "The Swallow's Nest" on the very edge of a rocky cape Ai-Todor is a symbol of the Crimea now. It was built on the same cape where Romans built their fort.




Swallow's Nest is a fairy tale castle, the glory of a million post-cards. It is located about 10 km west of Yalta. Built in 1912 for Baron Shteingel, a German oil magnate, it's now an Italian restaurant. 
You can take a nice boat ride to visit a "Swallow's nest" castle.
