Did you know that in the southwestern part of the Crimean Peninsula was an ancient Greek colony? It was established in the 6th century BC. It is located near the coast of the Black Sea and sometimes it is called the Ukrainian Pompeii. It was listed as the World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The city is full of influences characteristic to Greek, Roman and Byzantine periods. Chersonesus was abandoned in the 1400s and had to wait for a few more centuries to be re-discovered by archaeologists. In ancient times the city covered about 30 ha, and now this area is an outdoor museum. Apart from the archaeological site, visitors should see the impressive collection of exhibited artifacts.
