But everything happens against the wishes of the brothers. Ershov makes Ivan lucky

Which begins near Sevastopol. The cape is low, with whitish steep banks, which are constantly washed away by the sea.

H I eat closer to Ilyin's day. the lower the clouds hang, the air becomes more stuffy and more often night thunderstorms.

And on Ilyin's day the clouds will darken, snakes of lightning run in and the prophet will remind himself of himself with the crackle of thunder.

The trouble is to get into the sea then. Well, if only rip off the gear. Sometimes it will spin the ship, throw it on a rock and throw it in chips at Cape Ilya.

Pray, sailor, no misfortune would have happened to the church of the prophet.

And that church is visible from a great distance, although it is not great. The kind that was built in ancient times.

In those times when they believed in the Upper Force and knew their weakness in front of Her. Although they were bold, perhaps bolder than now.

People did not invent that Ilya, the son of Tamara, who built the church, went to the open sea on a board.

And when he became rich and bought his own ship, he was not afraid to leave the harbor in the worst storm and set sail in the December storm.

But once it happened to go under the prophet Elijah.

That day the sea was furious, the heavens were angry and people hid in their dwellings. And Ilya Tamara immediately picked up the flacos and the trinesta and, like a white seagull, was carried away into the wave.

Who would dare to do it now? Is it just crazy.

Tamara went far into the sea, the shores were not visible. He did not know the danger and did not believe in the fishing tale about Ilya.

And lightning and thunder from the clouds.

And when he thought so, a shaft rolled onto the ship much higher than the mast.

Vasta temoni, put down the rudder,” Tamara shouted to the helmsman, but the rudder came off, and the ship rushed by the will of the wind to the coastal rock.

Ilya realized that death was near, and doubt stirred in his frightened soul whether the prophet was punishing him for unbelief.

And at the same moment a thunderous rumble swept from north to south, and over the cape, where now the church of Elijah, a fiery chariot descended in flames and thousands of sparks.

Ilya! - Tamara exclaimed and thought in his heart: - In the place where I saw him, I will build a church for him, even if I had to sell the ship for that.

Matim bistin, I swear by my faith.

This thought had not had time to cool down, when the storm fell silent, and the wind from the shore drove a wave into the sea, and with it Tamarin's ship.

Vasta temoni,” someone’s formidable voice sounded over Tamara, and Tamara saw himself standing at the helm, which, having swum up to the ship, took its place.

By evening, Tamara reached Sugdei, handed over the goods and, loaded with new ones, returned to Kafu.

However, he did not tell anyone about what had happened, he regretted selling the ship and decided to earn more money first and then build a temple.

At first I decided so, but soon changed my mind.

It's impossible for all of this to happen. Just dreamed. Kolokitya!

And, calming himself like that, he eventually forgot about his oath.

Everything went well; for decades, none of his ships was wrecked, and Ilya Tamara became the richest merchant in Kafa.

However, in the soul, in addition to the will, there lived something that reminded me of an incident in my younger years. Tamara did not like to look at the mountain where he had a vision, and avoided going out to sea under Ilyin's day.

But one day, shortly before that day, he had to return from the shores of Amastrid.

May the name of George, the patron of that country, be blessed!

A fair wind carried the ship sharply, and in the distance the Taurus Mountains began to turn blue.

And suddenly the wind died down immediately, as if it had been swept away from the sea, and the ship fell into a dead calm.

Most of all, sailors are afraid of him, but Ilyin's day came, when the wind rushes all over Pontus, and Tamara lay calmly at the stern.

He counted the profits and. having finished the calculations, he smiled at the trading luck.

You don't need to be noble, you don't need to be a scientist to live well. You just need to be smarter than others to take advantage of their stupidity. Alyu pula poison gramata, alu pour gnosis!

A bad idea,” said someone in his soul, and Tamara shuddered.

I got up from my bed and looked at the shore. Clouds were slowly moving in from there, and the lightning flashed with an ominous eye.

A pre-wind ripple ran across the sea, after which the coastal shoreman drove a wave.

The ship raised all the sails and took her bow to the east, where Kafa was, but, having fallen into a strange current, she could not go far.

And the wind quickly grew stronger, the sea hummed with an unkind noise, the air hissed and whistled, howling.

The main mast could not withstand the rush and broke off.

That's bad!

And in the last twilight they saw a mountain where a vision had once happened.

Tamara remembered him and was confused in spirit. Darkness came, it was impossible to see your hand; the downpour flooded the deck; the wave beat over the sides and a leak appeared in the holds. The storm sails were frayed to shreds; the ship did not obey the rudder, like a rotten thread, the anchor chain broke when it overtook the ship to the shores and tried to anchor.

One miracle can save!

And people prayed for a miracle; they begged Ilya to soften his anger, promised to give the entire first catch for a candle to him.

And Tamara fell on his knees and swore in his heart to fulfill what he promised once in his youth.

The fiery lightning split the sky, scorched the air, illuminated the ship and the rocks among which it was rushing; in a last zigzag it slid down the mast and lit up in front of the ship.

Someone formidable and angry raised a hand over the ship. His gaze sparkled with lightning; his beard tore in a frenzy; the mouth was ready to be opened for the disastrous word.

Eleison imas, Kyrie! Have mercy on us!

The hand of cursing descended and showed the way of salvation to the perishing.

In the side, the Kafsky lights were lit, and ... the radiance went out.

Like the dead, the ship's houses fell asleep. Only old Tamara did not fall asleep. He stood at the city temple and whispered the words of the troparion:

Heal those who honor you, Elijah.

He stood all night and in the morning they found him in the same place. They did not recognize him, he had changed so much. His face breathed peace of majesty, and his eyes shone with the proximity of Heaven.

And when a year later the icon master painted the image of the prophet Elijah for the new temple, which he built on Mount Tamara, he painted the face of the prophet from him.

That is why you cannot see anger in prophetic eyes and there is no fear when you look at the icon.

Tamara died a very old man and at the end of his days he avoided talking about what he had experienced, but people read about it in his pure eyes.

For the gaze of the human soul often penetrates deeper than speech suggests.

If you look at the geographical location, then on the one hand Feodosia borders on the resort village of Beregovoe, and on the other hand it is covered by the Tepe-Oba ridge. He protects the city from strong winds, and also closes the main ridge of the Crimean mountains, stretched from Sevastopol to Cape St. Elias in Feodosia.

Today I will tell you about the best way to get to the cape and what interesting things you can see there.

Cape St. Ilya is the most protruding part of the Tepe-Oba ridge. Tepe-Oba in translation from the Crimean Tatar means the top of the mountain or the end of the mountains. So it is, we can safely say that in Feodosia the mountains end, or vice versa begin. Who likes it better.

Only later, beyond the Kerch Strait, on the Taman Peninsula, they will connect with the chain Caucasus mountains.

Beyond Feodosia, you can only find plains and fields that go beyond the horizon.

The best way to get to Cape Ilya is by car.
The road is of poor quality, mostly country.

Having reached the cape, a wonderful view of the Feodosia Bay opened.
I parked my car and decided to take a walk.

From above you can see for many kilometers ahead!

The villages of Beregovoye and the village of Primorsky, adjacent to Feodosia, are clearly visible:

By the way, Cape Ilya looks like this from the sea:

Along the road, on the slopes, wild Capers cucumbers bloom beautifully.

Down in the bay, fishermen set up nets and catch fish.

Now the construction of elite real estate is in full swing.

During the war, pillboxes were built on the cape, holding the siege of the enemy.
They were dug up, and they stick out from under the ground.

The name of Cape St. Elijah is associated with legends:

Once upon a time there was an ancient temple on the highest point of the cape. The Theodosian legend tells of a sailor named Ilya Tamar, who was twice shipwrecked off the cape on the day of Elijah the Prophet. Both times he asked the gods for forgiveness. And both times Elijah the Prophet appeared to him and saved him from death.

After that, he built a church here in the name of St. Elijah the Prophet.

From that moment on, this place became known as Cape St. Elijah.

If you look closely at the western part of the Feodosia Gulf, then it is at the rocky Cape of Elijah that a strong illusion is created for incoming ships. Cape Ilya, as it were, covers the entrance to the harbor. And it is not always possible to clearly define and understand this. During the autumn-winter storms, ships often sank here. There was a need to designate a dangerous place.

On February 17, 1899, a lighthouse was built on the Swedish Lindberg optical system.
It was called Ilyinsky Mayak. It was far from the current modern one, but it helped a lot to orient the ships and subsequently protected them from crashing.

Photo of the Lighthouse in 1899.

Now the lighthouse looks different:

Today, there are 18 lighthouses from Odessa to Novorossiysk, but there are only 4 such as Feodosia.

Access to the territory to the lighthouse is prohibited.

I walked parallel along the territory of the lighthouse to look at the opposite bank.

There is no descent down there, but a very beautiful view of Dvuyakornaya Bay and the village of Ordzhonikidze opened up in front of me.

I looked and admired the bay. To my left was the lighthouse.

On the right, 50 meters away, there is a fence and a fenced military area.
And goats were grazing near me.

There were lone trees growing here and there.

This perfect place where there are no tours.
From the cape, as I said, a beautiful view opens up, from here you can see the entire Feodosiya Gulf.

It feels cold here. Very clean air blows from the sea, which you want to breathe deeply.

I stayed for some time at the cape.
Then I got into the car and went down at sunset ....

They are at the top of their list. Today I want to tell you about one of them, the most beautiful and romantic, with good name- Cape Ilya.

Location, differences

The cape is located in the vicinity of Feodosia, in the bay. It is part of the Tele-Oba mountain range. The hilly formation attracts not only with its unique view, but also with the so-called local landmark, a popular tourist attraction - "". High ground causes a storm positive emotions, both while walking along it, and when viewed from the sea. It even seems to me that from a pleasure boat it looks even more impressive.

The first building to light the way for sailors appeared here in the late 1890s. During the Great Patriotic War, it was practically destroyed, but the area was "decorated" by bunkers. They can still be seen today, in the process of studying the territory.

The lighthouse, in the form in which we observe it today, appeared in the late 50s of the last century. Naturally, the hilly formation is interesting not only with a lighthouse and bunkers. There are a lot of legends around it, and it is they that attract many tourists.

Legends and true

The locals love to tell a legend about a merchant who was shipwrecked several times. Moreover, this happened precisely on the day of the Prophet Elijah, and he was the namesake of the saint. The merchant turned to him for help every time, he managed to avoid serious losses. The merchant, as a thank you, decided to build a chapel here. According to legend, it is in its place that the famous coastal luminary now flaunts.

It is difficult to say how true this story is, but the fact that stunning views of the Feodosiya Bay open from here is true. Tourists mostly come here just to admire them. Some prefer to relax on the wild beach at the foot.

Vacationers interested in the history of the peninsula as a whole. And the surroundings of Feodosia in particular, people come here to see the Scythian hills. By the way, during one of the excavations, they found ancient earrings, very fine handmade. Today they are a unique exhibit of our Hermitage, signed "Feodosia Earrings".

Remained on the territory and bunkers, from the time of the Great Patriotic War, some, they are called "Ilyinsky Batteries". True, no one took care of preserving this historical one. So it is quite likely that in a few decades there will be nothing to look at.

Tip: If you decide to spend time on the beach in the area, try not to leave any evidence of your stay. On the shore there are no benefits of civilizations, cleaners. Therefore, cleanliness is entirely up to you and me. By the way, there are excellent conditions for diving, if you are fond of this sport, be sure to take your equipment with you.

How to get to Cape Ilya

You can get here by public transport, but some part of the path, about 2 km, will have to be walked. If this does not bother you, at the Feodosia bus station, take a fixed-route taxi No. 1, 2 or 2 "a". Get off at the City Hospital stop. You can just take a look. Deciding to continue on your way, move to the southeast for about two kilometers.

You can try to get there by hitchhiking, but it is more convenient to take your own car. If you are traveling by car, please refer to the map or GPS navigator. The exact location is marked below.. For those who do not have their own car, there is completely no desire to walk, just like getting on a ride, I recommend using excellent services.

In my opinion, Cape Ilya is one of the most beautiful, romantic places in Crimea. Especially in evening time when the lighthouse lights its lights. If you care about virgin nature, gorgeous views, complete tranquility: be sure to visit this unique place. Have an amazing holiday everyone!

In this post I want to tell you about the most little-known cape of the Feodosia region, the description of which is not even on the Internet, the cape that bears the same name - Feodosia.

historical name Cape Feodosiya - Kaboyar.

Cape Theodosius, like Cape St. Elijah, is one of the extremities of the spurs of the Main Ridge of the Crimean Mountains.

This little-known attraction is located right behind the wild beach called "Chumka", which in turn lies in the southern outskirts of Feodosia called "Karantin". This is the only cape located practically within the city.

To the northeast, from Cape Feodosia begins Feodosia Bay, and on the south side is Cape St. Elijah, followed by Dvuyakornaya Bay. These two capes form a small picturesque bay with a narrow wild beach.

bay beach, at the foot of Cape Theodosius and Cape St. Elijah, it is composed of rocks and pebbles. On the narrow coastline there are large boulders, gravel and pebbles.

Cape Feodosia has steep slopes light gray in color, which are composed of clay and slate rocks. The slopes of Cape Feodosia majestically descend directly to the beach of the bay and completely close it from the west and southwest from the winds.

The entrance to the sea on the beach of this bay is gentle, and the shallow bottom is covered with pebbles and gravel.

The vegetation of Cape Feodosia is scarce the slopes and adjacent hills are covered with mountain grasses. There are practically no trees, but a rare plant called Turchaninov's bug grows in this place. The plant, listed in the Red Book of Ukraine, is found only in the northeastern part of the coast from Feodosia Quarantine Hill to the Cape of St. Elijah the Prophet. Also, along the ravines in the surrounding territories of Cape Feodosia, wild rose, blackthorn, blackberry, and hawthorn bushes grow.

Fauna of Cape Feodosia more varied than its vegetation. There are hares, foxes, various rodents, many different insects. Here you can see such unique snakes as the Crimean viper, tiger snake, snakes, as well as a rare lizard - yellow-bellied. You can meet such interesting and rare spiders as tarantula, scorpion, black widow and others. Great variety of birds. Owls, peregrine falcons, Crimean hawks, nightingales, gulls, cormorants, divers, ducks live in this area. As well as many small birds, such as goldfinch, siskin, greenfinch, titmouse, etc.

Fauna of the coastal zone of Cape Feodosiya are dolphins, katrans, stingrays, sea foxes and tongues, mullet, pilengas, striped mullet, sea ruff, sea ​​bass, goby, greenfinch. There are clams mussels and rapana, shrimp, crabs, various algae and much more.

Previously, there was a post on Cape Feodosia a missile range, a post of radio engineering troops and a helipad. The area was guarded, and bathers on the beach of the cape bay
Theodosius often drove a detachment of border guards.

Currently these items have been removed. And the coastline now belongs to vacationers who can swim and sunbathe carelessly on this marvelous beach. No one will resist even the presence of divers who decide to get acquainted with the underwater beauties of these places, and there is something to see here, believe me. No one is outraged by the appearance in these places of lovers of sunbathing in the costume of Adam and Eve.

What an informative story about the cape, which almost no one paid attention to. I hope that this entry will encourage the desire of many tourists vacationing in Feodosia and the southeastern Crimea to get acquainted with this natural landmark and enjoy its beauties, hospitality and generous seafood to the fullest.
