Crimea has been an autonomous republic of Ukraine located on the northern coast of the Black Sea, occupying a peninsula of the same name.
Crimea is located on the northern coast of the Black Sea and on the western coast of the Sea of Azov, bordering Kherson Oblast from the North. Although located in southwestern part of the Crimean peninsula, the city of Sevastopol has a special but separate municipality status within Ukraine.
Crimea is connected to the mainland by the 57 kilometre wide Isthmus of Perekop. At the eastern tip is the Kerch Peninsula, which is directly opposite the Taman Peninsula on the Russian mainland. Between the Kerch and Taman peninsulas, lies the 313 km wide Strait of Kerch, which connects the waters of the Black Sea with the Sea of Azov.
The
Crimean coastline is broken by several bays and harbors. These harbors lie west
of the Isthmus of Perekop by the Bay of Karkinit; on the southwest by the open
Bay of Kalamita, with the ports of Eupatoria and Sevastopol; on the north by the
Bay of Arabat of the Isthmus of Yenikale or Kerch; and on the south by the Bay
of Caffa or Feodosiya, with the port of Feodosiya.
The
southeast coast is flanked at a distance of 812 km from the sea by a parallel
range of mountains, the Crimean Mountains. These mountains are backed by secondary
parallel ranges. Seventy-five percent of the remaining area of Crimea consists
of semiarid prairie lands, a southward continuation of the Pontic steppes, which
slope gently to the northwest from the foot of the Crimean Mountains. The main
range of these mountains shoots up with extraordinary abruptness from the deep
floor of the Black Sea to an altitude of 600750 metres, beginning at the
southwest point of the peninsula, called Cape Fiolente. It was believed that this
cape was supposedly crowned with the temple of Artemis, where Iphigeneia is said
to have officiated as priestess.
Numerous kurgans, or burial mounds, of the ancient Scythians are scattered across the Crimean steppes.
The terrain that lies beyond the sheltering Crimean Mountain range is of an altogether different character. Here, the narrow strip of coast and the slopes of the mountains are smothered with greenery. This "riviera" stretches along the southeast coast from Cape Sarych, in the extreme south, to Feodosiya, and is studded with summer sea-bathing resorts such as Alupka, Yalta, Gurzuf, Alushta, Sudak, and Feodosiya. During the years of Soviet rule, the resorts and dachas of this coast served as the prime perquisites of the politically loyal. In addition, vineyards and fruit orchards are located in the region. Fishing, mining, and the production of essential oils are also important. Numerous Crimean Tatar villages, mosques, monasteries, and palaces of the Russian imperial family and nobles are found here, as well as picturesque ancient Greek and medieval castles.
