Did you know that the famous Yalta talks took place in a sanatorium that dated back to the days of the Tsars ? It was the great imperial family that first fell in love with the site, and built palaces, drawing the cream of the period’s artists and personalities.

After the 1917 revolution, peasants and workers were also granted the right to come here and to benefit from the treatment of the sanatorium’s doctors. Today, surrounded by renovation and construction, visitors continue to look after their health, and to seek a suntan… standing up ! It is rather more expensive than during communist times, but so what ? People want to live, and to take advantage of the new consumer society proposed by the triumph of capitalism. Even if the Slavic spirit has lost nothing of its romantic nostalgia.
