P.S. Gurzuf is the most beautiful in Crimea, it is cut through a mountain amphitheater by the Avinda River. The valley falls to the sea in a bay with the purest water and picturesque, the best in Crimea pebble beaches. In this unique place, 16 km from Yalta, there is an urban-type settlement Gurzuf. To the west of Gurzuf rises Cape Martyan, to the east - Ayudag. The author of the book for the first time collected rich and interesting material about the nature of Gurzuf and its environs, about the history of this region, how it gradually became and developed as a resort, first bourgeois, and then socialist.
