This peninsula washed by the Black Sea and Azov has a unique variety of natural conditions and landscapes: lifeless salines and boundless fertile steppes change to the south into green valleys and mountain chains, while along the southern coast, behind high mountains stretches a narrow strip of land with subtropical climate.

As you can see on the map, Crimea is almost an island - only a very narrow isthmus, and two causeways connect to the Ukrainian mainland. The northern half is flat and agricultural with a dry, continental climate. The southern half is dominated by a rugged mountain range reaching 1,545m. (5,000ft,) which creates the Mediterranean-like climate of its southern coast, the most popular vacation destination.

Century the Tatars, came with the Golden Horde of Genghis Khan and established a Khanate at Bakchisarai, where some of the old buildings are still to be visited today. Conquered by Catherine the Great in the 18th. C. the peninsula became increasingly populated with Russians and Sevastopol became the major Russian naval base on the Black Sea. The Tatars were exiled to Siberia by Stalin and only now are returning. Under Khruschchev (who was an Ukrainian) Crimea was joined administratively with the Ukrainian Soviet Republic. In 1992 it became an autonomous state within Ukraine.
