Hurzuf, Coastal settlement in Yalta Municipality, Ukraine.

The settlement extends along the northern Black Sea coast at an elevation of 30 meters, featuring residential areas and recreational facilities.

Emperor Justinian I established a fortress named Gorzoubitai in the sixth century, which formed the foundation of the current settlement.

The settlement contains a medieval cemetery near Cape Suuksu and holds connections to Russian poet Alexander Pushkin who visited in 1820.

The International Children's Center Artek operates behind Mount Ayu-Dag, providing educational and recreational programs for young visitors.

The settlement's name evolved through multiple variations including Kursaity, Gorzovium, and Yurzuf before becoming its current form.
