The Grand Canyon of Crimea (Ukrainian: Великий каньйон Криму, romanized: Velykyi kanion Krymu; Russian: Большой каньон Крыма, romanized: Bolshoy kanon Kryma) is a canyon located in southern Crimea, an area internationally recognised as part of Ukraine but currently controlled by Russia.

[1] The walls of the canyon are home to a variety of different types of trees and herbs, but are prone to rock slides during dry weather and after rain.

[3] The canyon's bottom is typically cool, owing to the coverage of yew, oak, and beech forests located on the slopes.

Prior to his 1925 description of the canyon, Puzanov recorded a local legend from a groundskeeper at Yusupov Palace, who stated, "Our peasants say that at night, wild cries and squeals are heard, and laughter - demons celebrate their weddings then."

This legend possibly emerged due to the loud and destructive flooding in the canyon in the aftermath of rain and during the spring,[6] when the Avuzıñ Özen rises by 5 metres.
