Cape Tarhankut - the most westerly point of the Crimea.

I want to tell you about my trip to Tarkhankut (do not break). At Cape Tarhankut can be reached in different ways, I was getting from Yevpatoria, a distance of 110 km or about 2-2, 5:00 the way, just want to warn that the road is very bad. The final settlement is the village before Tarhankuta Olenevka, so my advice is to stop and stock up water and food, as at the Cape only four tents in which the corresponding prices. Also, my advice is to take a headgear, umbrellas, tents, as this place is one of the hottest in the Crimea. When you exit from Olenevka meets Tarkhankutskii roads, movement speed is very low. First you enter the territory of the Grand Atlesh (Part Tarhankuta). At the entrance you can see the lighthouse (unfortunately no photo) and the actions of the military part of the defense. Then after passing a couple of kilometers you see the Cape or Cape Turtle Catherine or just Katka.

When a school of fish comes to the network, looking signaled one edge of the network is up and the fish in the bag, then swim into the bag fishermen on boats and rake fish in the boat and then caught fish with a crane (seen in the background), to raise Beach. Incidentally lifting crane - this is the only mechanized work, the rest is all by hand.



There is also a staircase, which local nicknamed "1000 steps of cellulite».
