Here, beautiful sea views and Baidars'ka valley. Then begin to climb the mountain Chalabi Yaurn Bewley. And from the point of this review can be seen all - Shaitan Merdven, where we spent the night and the trail along which here, of course the sea, gentle and affectionate. Baidars'ka valley with the huge reservoir in the Crimea, and certainly the top Ilyas Kaya, to which we will go the rest of the day.
