Гора Кішка, Natural monument in Crimean peninsula.

Mount Kishka reaches 254 meters in height and consists of limestone formations, separated from the Black Sea by two distinct rock formations, Paneya and Diva.

Archaeological excavations on Mount Kishka revealed settlements dating back 6000 years and dolmens from the first century BCE constructed by Taurian tribes.

The name Mount Kishka derives from the Tatar words Kosh-Kaya, meaning double rock, reflecting its distinct silhouette when viewed from specific angles.

Visitors can access the mountain by taking a bus from Yalta to Simeiz, followed by marked hiking trails leading through rocky paths to the summit.

The mountain features rare endemic plant species, including Cistus tauricus and Ruscus ponticus, growing within its rocky crevices and slopes.
