In Crimea, there are many tourist routes, but the Golitsyn Trail is particularly popular, offering magnificent views of the sea, mountains, and forests. It was started in 1912 at the behest of the famous winemaker and merchant Lev Golitsyn. Not long before this, he acquired an estate on the peninsula, naming it Paradiz, which translates to "paradise."

That year, Golitsyn was expecting a visit from the emperor and, to impress Nicholas II, decided to build a long and picturesque trail that would provide a breathtaking view of the sea from above. The construction of the trail through forests and cliffs took many months. Golitsyn managed to astonish the emperor. After the walk, he invited Nicholas II to a table laden with delicacies and exquisite wines. The emperor was so impressed by the reception that he uttered a phrase that gave the modern name to the village: "Now I see life in the New World."

However, the invitation to the tsar had another purpose: Golitsyn hoped for help with his financial difficulties. Nicholas II agreed to provide financial support, but Golitsyn did not have time to take advantage of it, as he soon passed away. Before his death, he bequeathed part of his Crimean estates to Nicholas II.

Nevertheless, Golitsyn left behind a rich winemaking estate, including ancient wine cellars that have survived to this day. You can also visit the Shalyapin Grotto, named after the opera singer Fyodor Ivanovich. It is said that his voice, amplified by the acoustics of the grotto, could shatter a glass. Famous Soviet films were shot in these places: "3+2", "Sportloto-82", "Pirates of the 20th Century", and "Treasure Island."
