Gaspra, Coastal settlement in Yalta Municipality, Crimea.
Gaspra is a coastal settlement on the Black Sea shore that sits about 50 meters above sea level and offers views toward Cape Ai-Todor and surrounding mountains. The area is framed by hills that create a contained seaside location.
A Roman fortress called Haraks once stood here between the second and third centuries as a military base for imperial forces. This ancient presence marks the beginning of the place's recorded history.
Russian is the main language spoken here, though Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar voices are also part of daily life. This linguistic mix reflects the place's diverse community roots.
The location has several medical facilities and sanatoriums operating year-round for visitors seeking treatments by the seaside. Many of these facilities also provide lodging, making extended stays possible.
The name comes from Greek roots meaning white, referring to the light-colored rocks and coastal features of the area. Visitors often notice how the distinctive pale tones of the shoreline match this original meaning.
