The Foros church and Baydar Gate excursion. The graceful Church of Christ Resurrection was erected on the lonely cliff over the Foros village. The church was built in 1892 with the money of a merchant of the top guild Alexander Kuznetsov by design of an academician architect Chagin to commemorate Alexander III''s survival. There is the Baydar Gate right above the church – a crowned with antique portico mountain pass in the Crimean Mountains connecting the Baidar Valley (the so called Crimean Switzerland) with the Crimea South Coast. The breathtaking view of the neighboring nature opens from the height of more than 500 meters.
