Bakhchisaray attractions
The Khan's Palace - Hop on a marshrootka and ask the driver for "Dvar-yets" (Russian) or "Palats" (Ukrainian). In the summer, you can hire a guide in almost any language. Points of interest include the inner palace, the Kahn's cemetery, the Falcon Tower, the Crimean Tatar museum and a small art gallery. Behind the palace is one of the many cemeteries dedicated to those who died in World War 2.
The Uspensky Cave Monastery - Founded around the 8th or 8th centuries, this Orthodox Monastery is old and beautiful. A holy spring flows here and the water is potable.
Chufut Kale - A cliff city last inhabited by Kararite Jews, there are 1000 year old Jewish and Muslim cemeteries in the area.
Mangup Kale - A short bus ride out of town will take you to the area where you can hike to the top of the plateau and walk around Ostrogoth/Byzantine ruins.
Kachi Kaleon - A Greek cliff city with several cave churches, this is also a short bus ride out of the city.
Tash Ayeer - This is another hiking area very near Kachi Kaleon.
Eski Kermen. Another cave city, this one still has a bit of the 1500 year old frescoes visable. It's also in remarkably good condition. �
