Baydar Gate

The Baydar Gate (elevation 503 metres or 1,650 feet) is a mountain pass in the Crimean Mountains connecting the Baidar Valley with the Black Sea coast.

The old Yalta-Sevastopol highway, dating from the 1830s and seldom used today, passes through here.

When the highway was completed in 1848, the so-called Propylaea were built of local limestone to commemorate the event.

This Neoclassical gate offers scenic views, including that of the picturesque Foros Church set atop a 400-metre cliff overlooking the sea coast.
