The settlement Belyaus is located near the village of Znamenskoe, between the villages of Okunevka and Mirny, on the North-Western coast of the Crimea. The nearest major settlement is Yevpatoria, 65.5 km.

Today, Belyaus is a museum in the open air. The visit to the settlement is free of charge, since, except for the column with the inscription is protected by the state, there is not even a minimal fence or guard, then a visit is possible at any time of the day or year.
The ancient settlement of Belyaus was preserved relatively well, but after the first excavation in the last century, it began to collapse at a more intensive rate, mainly due to tourists and treasure hunters, who either take something to memory or barbarously dig with the shovels around the surrounding territory.



The area of ​​the ancient settlement, which is now excavated -11x11 meters, is the part that is on the surface and partially restored. Most of the territory has so far been little explored and studied. According to archaeologists, in this neighborhood there should be several more settlements, about the same size.

Presumably, the site was founded in the beginning of the 4th century BC, by the ancient Greeks, who came from the main metropolitan Crimea-Chersonesos (now Sevastopol).
The discovery of the ancient city belongs to the archaeologist Burachkov P.O., in 1875 Burachkov explored the coast of the western Crimea from Cape Tarkhankut to the city of Evpatoria and came across the settlement of Belyaus. The first studies were very superficial and were more descriptive than scientific. More complete information on the ancient settlement of Belyayus was collected by the expedition of the Academy of Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1962, It was her research that formed the basis for the history of this place.

Ancient settlement Belyaus was founded in the beginning of the 4th century BC, during the expansion of the Chersonesos metropolis. The population was engaged in agriculture and cattle breeding, practically, all goods went on sale in Chersonese or Kerkinitidu (Evpatoria). In 3-2 centuries the fortress is constantly attacked by the Scythians and at the end of the 2nd century completely passes under their control.
In the first century BC, the settlement resembles a small fortress: a rampart appears, a stone defensive wall appears and new premises are being built.
In the first century raids on the western coast of the Crimea are intensified and the city constantly passes from the hands of the Scythians to the Greeks and vice versa. By the 3rd century AD, life in the city, practically, is dying out. A few meters from the town there is a small cemetery in which the burials of the Scythians, Greeks, and later the aliens were discovered. Also were found: amphorae, tools and gold coins with bracelets and ornaments.
