Koreiz

Koreiz (Ukrainian: Кореїз, Russian: Кореиз, Crimean Tatar: Koreiz) is a townlet in the Yalta region of Crimea, Ukraine. The name of the town means "villages" in Greek. The nearby spa of Miskhor was absorbed into Koreiz in 1958.

Koreiz is best known as the site of two palaces. The palace of Grand Duke Peter Nicolaievich of Russia, known as Dulber (dülber is Crimean Tatar for "beautiful"), is an asymmetrical architectural extravanganza with crenellated walls, silver domes, and more than 100 rooms, inspired by the Mameluk architecture of 15th-century Cairo. This palace was built between 1895 and 1897.

The Yusupov Palace was built for Prince Felix Yusupov in 1909 by an architect responsible for the imperial Livadia Palace in nearby Yalta. The palace, whose style may be described as Moorish Revival, boasts a romantic park with exotic plants and a wine cellar founded by Prince Lev Galitzine in the 19th century. After the Russian Revolution of 1917, the palace was nationalised and served as Joseph Stalin's favourite dacha, during the Yalta Conference and at other times.

  • Лечебно-диагностическое отделение, nik (guest) wrote 16 years ago:
    Очень хорошая душевная обстановка. Заботливый и вежливый медперсонал. Никто не лезет к тебе в душу. За умеренную плату дополнительные услуги в виде грязевых ванн, гидромассажа, лечение пиявками. Что ещё нужно человеку, который приехал полечиться и набраться сил?
