A lot of places, which deserve a position in the list of the most beautiful sights of Crimea, were not included in the top 10, for example in the city of Sudak, and many others. Most likely this happened due to low coverage among tourists and guests of Crimea. Most of the attractions that made it to the top ten are located on, which was massively popularized in the Soviet Union.
