Balaklava, Harbor district in Sevastopol, Russia.
The district stretches along a natural bay flanked by limestone mountains, featuring a deep-water inlet that extends for 1.5 kilometers inland.
The area served as a base for Greek colonists in the 4th century BCE, who established a settlement named Symbolon for maritime trade.
The district contains remnants of a medieval fortress constructed by Genoese merchants who controlled regional Black Sea commerce in the 14th century.
Visitors can reach the district via regular bus services from Sevastopol central station, with journey times of approximately 30 minutes.
The district houses a former Soviet submarine base carved into the mountainside, which could shelter up to seven submarines during military conflicts.
