A disgusting road, thanks to which an untouched corner of nature has been preserved. At the same time, a clean toilet, shower, drinking water, electricity, delicious food. The sea has large pebbles (it’s very difficult to go into the sea), but there are more seagulls on the beach than people. Holidays are ideal for those seeking peace, unity with nature, goodness of soul and body. A special chic is a night spent on the seashore, where the waves splash five meters from the sleeping bag, whispering fabulous dreams. Where the stars twinkle only for you, and the Milky Way reveals to you the secrets of the divine plan. Where the cicadas, having filled the surrounding air with their vibrations, fall silent only for you to wake up from the silent silence that accompanies the sunrise!
I'm sorry, but the children of asphalt will only be able to relax in The Lost World by lying under the exhaust pipe. The contrast between these places and urban civilization is too strong.
If you notice an inaccuracy or the data is out of date, please make corrections, we will be grateful. Let's create the best encyclopedia about Crimea together!

Save changesA small (less than 1 km wide) picturesque piece of land in the south-west of Crimea near Cape Aya, surrounded on the land side by vertical walls up to 560 meters high.
Description
The place is quite inaccessible for an ordinary tourist. Probably due to its isolation, another name for the Lost World - Island - is common among the regulars of the tract.
Most people enter this amazing place from the sea on skiffs, yachts, air mattresses and boats, or simply by swimming, around the end of Cape Aya - about 50-100 meters. Those who own rock climbing equipment sometimes descend with equipment on ropes, but, as a rule, this ends badly for them.
When you get here, you are completely separated from civilization. The beach is surrounded both from above and from right to left by huge fragments of that ancient collapse. The collapse is still in effect - new small landslides are constantly occurring. On the shore you can see a growing local endemic - Stankevich pine. The coast itself is gentle, but gradually turns into a sheer cliff of unimaginable height

3.5 km southeast from the throat of Balaklava Bay in the direction of Cape Aya.
The distance from Balaklava to Cape Foros is a kind of “golden mile” of the Crimean peninsula. Places like these exist only in the south of the Spanish Kingdom. This refers to the coast nicknamed Costa Dorada by tourists. It starts in Catalonia from the city of Blanes and stretches along the delta of the Ebro River through the lands of Tarragona. On the border with France, the Spanish “golden coast” logically turns into the French Mediterranean Riviera.
Just like the best Spanish coast, our Crimean Riviera is distinguished by extremely picturesque landscapes. These are the southern slopes of the Baydarskaya, Ai-Petrinskaya and Yalta yaila, right next to the Black Sea itself. Just like on the shores of the Kingdom of Spain, the southern coast of the peninsula is in the zone of a subtropical type of climate, nicknamed Mediterranean. This means that when choosing a holiday in these parts, tourists can count on the summer heat, not overshadowed by any rain, and the winter, mild, mild, humid and foggy weather.
The entire coast of Crimea, from Balaklava to the rocks of Foros, like a pearl necklace, consists of beautiful beaches. Curiously, they really look like pearls, because each beach is located on the territory of its own mini-bay, bounded by a crescent of slate and quartzite rocks. Each local beach is beautiful in its own way, but it is recognized as the leader of the TOP of “most picturesque” recreational sites.
This beach is located 3.5 km from the mouth of Balaklava Bay. It is the last “pearl” in a series of so-called “beaches of Sevastopol” group. But unlike the nearby Balaklava ones, this one is covered with good coarse-grained sand, and not small and sharp-edged pebbles. Maximum distance from civilization - next comes the protected area of Cape Aya, and the ideal coverage turned the “Lost World” into a Mecca and Medina for nudists.
Another attractive feature of the Lost World, as for nudists, is its inaccessibility. A pedestrian walk along the mountain path is not accessible to every tourist, so Babylonian pandemonium, as on the beaches of other Crimean resorts, is a priori impossible here. A few dozen people is the anthropogenic maximum of the Lost World.
Rare guests get to this wonderful beach using tiny boats. In Balaklava, this type of transport is as popular as gondolas in Venice. A great variety of boats and motor boats of various displacements moor right on the Nazukin embankment.
After walking for a few minutes along this "sea taxi" exchange, the guest will be able to find transport that satisfies him with its price and the availability of additional services - fishing, excursion. The colorful captain will instantly start the engine and, leaving Balaklava Bay, will take the guest to the east - to the “Lost World”. Almost any tourist can afford such a vacation in Balaklava, because this resort is not as popular and mega-popular as a vacation on Foros. Therefore, the price for “using” the clear sea, Mediterranean climate and immersion in the numerous historical and battle sights of Balaklava will be significantly lower than the pleasure received.
“The Lost World” is the name given to this protected area of nature, located 8 km from Balaklava. Rarely beautiful seaside landscapes and breathtaking landscapes are the main thing that attracts tourists to the picturesque cape with the gentle name of Aya.
Here you can also swim, sunbathe on the beach, admire the beauty of the underwater world, climb mountains and get acquainted with ancient monuments.
Containment:
A unique natural monument
This rock ridge with steep steep slopes stretches along the coast for 13 km. In those places where the sea managed to reclaim land areas, small bays formed. This is how the famous and most visited Fig beach appeared, as well as the Kapitansky, Silver and Golden beaches.
Researchers believe that the Greeks considered these places sacred - this is evidenced by the surviving remains of medieval temples and a monastery. Many scientists believe that the name of the cape comes from the Greek “ayos”, which means “holy”. According to another version, the rocky ledge is the legendary Criumetopon, which served as a guide for ancient sailors on the way to the shores of the peninsula.
Individual objects located on the cape also have poetic names. Thus, the names of the highest points Kokiya-Kaya and Kush-Kaya are translated as “Blue Rock” and “Bird Mountain”. And the protected tract Ayazma and its beautiful beach were called “Figs”. The reason for this was the resemblance of one of the rocks to a southern tree.
Unforgettable impressions
- Baydar Valley;
- tracts Batiliman and Ayazma;
- Laspi Bay.
Unique photographs taken not only from the peaks, but also from any other place, become an adornment of home collections.
Therefore, tourists who come to Sevastopol on vacation do not miss the opportunity to visit this corner of untouched nature.
Protected area
For the unearthly beauty of its landscapes, in 1982 Cape Aya received the status of a landscape reserve. The flora and fauna of these places are not just rich - you can find rare species of plants and animals here. Among them are tall juniper, strawberry, pistachio and relict Stankevich pine. Representatives of the animal world include the gecko, Crimean red deer, leopard snake and others.
The water area covered by the cape is home to mullet, sea urchin, rapan, crab, blenny, dogfish shark, as well as all 3 species of Black Sea dolphins. The water off the coast is filtered by algae and shellfish.
Divers often come here. The purest water allows you to see everything that is under water. The bravest ones descend to a depth of about 15 meters to explore several unusual crevices. If you take powerful flashlights with you, you can penetrate the gap, the width of which can reach up to 2 meters. The only inconvenience is that the water temperature in the depths usually drops to +7 degrees.
