Gurzuf

Gurzuf or Hurzuf (Ukrainian: Гурзуф, Russian: Гурзу́ф, Crimean Tatar: Gurzuf, Greek: Γορζουβίται) is a resort town (urban-type settlement) in Yalta Municipality of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, a territory recognized by a majority of countries as part of Ukraine but incorporated by Russia as the Republic of Crimea.

The fortress was later restored by the Genoese who called the place Garzuni, Grasni, and Gorzanium, and appointed it the seat of a chief magistrate.

Alexander Pushkin visited Gurzuf in 1820 and ballet master Marius Petipa died here.

The World Organization of the Scout Movement's Eurasian Region is headquartered in the town.

At the top of the Cape is a tower, a medieval cemetery, and a small monument to Pushkin.
