In a picturesque setting at a distance of some 15 km to the South-East of Sevastopol Balaklava town and Balaklava Bay spread out.

The ancient Greek and later on also Byzantine historians mentioned the Balaklava Bay as Symbolon-Limne, what means the Harbour of Symbols (omens). The fact was referred to by Strabo, Pliny the Elder, Polyen, Ptolemy, Flavius. The archeologists discovered near the Balaklava Bay an early Tauri settlement (about the 8th century B.C.). Myths and old legends, testimonials of scholars and travelers, historians and poets overcome everyone who gets into contact with the ancient history of this place.

Some associate the Balaklava Bay with the wanderings of the crafty and wise Odysseus and locate here the legendary Temple of Diana where Tauri priestess Iphigenia performed her bloody rite.

The subsequent history of Balaklava is closely linked to the Genoese. Towering on the Eastern Cape that overshadows the entrance to the bay are the majestic remains of their fortress Cembalo. The ruins of a Genoese fortress positioned high on a cliff top above the entrance to the Balaklava Inlet are a popular tourist attraction and have recently become the stage for a Medieval festival.

Today the town's unforgettable history and amazing beauty attract many visitors.

From the top of the Balaklava Crag the town can be well seen spreading out below. Here mountains, rocks and the sea came close together. The bay hemmed in by the pink cliffs that look rather like a lake has incredible dark blue water. Steps hollowed out of solid rock, dark time-worn ancient Genoese towers make up a truly impressive image.
