Romanovs and History of tourism in Crimea
Russian Empress Catherine the Great (II) set on to Crimea for the most discussed travel of that time in 1787. The Empress wanted to show the Europe that Russia had been a power with its formidable Black Sea fleet. Catherine's favourite, Prince Grigory Potyomkin Tavrichesky managed shipbuilding in recently founded Sevastopol and building of new settlements all over Crimea. When the Empress and her guests arrived to Sevastopol, they were met by the shipgun fire of Black Sea Fleet. The tour was a great success. Sevastopol, Balaclava, South Crimea and the whole territory of the peninsula gradually became a favourite travel destination for Russian tsars and aristocracy. They say, Catherine the Great has begun travel history in Crimea.
