Livadian Palace and park are really world famous.  The White Livadian Palace was constructed to be a summer residence of the last Russian Tsar - Nicholas II.  Later on it housed a sanatorium for peasants and in February of 1945 the Yalta Conference of the Three Allied Powers was held here.  After the Victory the palace was the summer residence of Soviet leaders where Stalin, Molotov and others used to come.  Then again it was a holiday center replaced by a museum in 1974.  The park of 126 hectares was laid out in the early 19th century in the landscape style by gardener Delinger and boasts 400 species of trees and shrubs and also original Rose, Tsar's and Turkish summer pavilions, 80 meters long pergola of roses, wisteria and wild grapes - the longest in the Crimea.
     A traditional Russian tea ceremony will be held at the Italian courtyard of the palace.  An assortment of Russian and Ukrainian delicacies will be served with the tea and throughout the ceremony you'll be entertained by the "Kalinka" folkloric group who will perform traditional music and songs.  A panoramic tour of the City of Yalta shows you views of its will-planned streets, fountains, luxurious gardens and surrounding hillsides.

Note:  This tour involves a 10-15 minute walk from the coach parking area to Livadia Palace.  There are some gentle inclines with some stairs to be negotiated and passengers with physical limitations are requested to take this into consideration.
