Feodossia-Bucht Highlights

Feodosia Bay Essentials

Feodosia Bay preserves layers of history ranging from the 14th-century Genoese fortress of Caffa to the neoclassical villas of the 19th-century Russian elite. The shoreline is defined by the Aivazovsky National Art Gallery, housing the world's largest collection of marine paintings, and the romantic legacy of writer Alexander Grin. Architectural landmarks like the Moorish-style Daca Viktoria and the St. Elias Lighthouse complement the natural significance of the Uzun-Syrt ridge, a historic center for aviation and gliding.
