The first time I got to Balaklava was with an excursion. A beautiful place in itself, but pretty disfigured. On the slopes gaping empty windows are not large, waste rock from a nearby mine has been dumped into the bay for many years and now it is not as deep as it once was. The impression of the submarine base is the most negative. But the waterfront is pretty fun. The bay hosts many yachts of various celebrities. We were shown the yachts of Rotaru, Makarevich and the Chaif group, houses belonging to Yanukovych and Tymoshenko, peacefully adjacent to each other. Balaclava, according to one version, is translated from Turkic as "Fish bag". And even now, despite the pretty spoiled ecology, there are still a lot of fish here. We even saw a dolphin in the very depths of the bay, and dolphins, as you know, try to be closer to the fish. On the mountain at the entrance to the bay there are the ruins of the Genoese fortress, for the restoration of which there was not enough money.
From the fortress there is an excellent panorama of the bay. Subsequently, we once again came here on our own, just for a walk. It is a pity that both times it was January. In May, it should be much more beautiful here!
