Crimea is awesome — went there once years ago. Besides the beaches where most of the tourists head to, there are these lost spots where you can see monuments even older than Tanais - I think the Phoenician were there before the Greeks, but not sure
Thanks Cronos. The Assyrians got there, or at least their artifacts did. I'd be surprised if Minoans (Linear A has been found in Bulgaria in recent years, if memory serves) and/or Mycenaean Greeks didn't also colonize the Black Sea shores.
Correct. Over near Sevastopol there are remains of a Greek settlement. Also of interest is the site at Balaclava where the Light Brigade charged the Russian guns.
