Nikitski Botanical Garden
plus Wine and Fruit Tasting
Half-day Tour.
Next
door to the Magarach Wine Institute, the gardens were laid
out in beautiful terraces down to the sea in 1812 by a Russian
botanist with the unlikely name of H.H. Steven. Here
you can admire some 7,000 trees and plants, with a rose garden
that has over 1,600 varieties, and other curiosities such
as a 1,000 year old pistachio tree.
As
the treasury for development of most of the Southern Crimean
parks, the gardens could impress any visitor with their
magic atmosphere.
Nikitski Botanical Garden is
situated about 7km. from Yalta Sea Port (20-30 minutes
by coach). |
