Crimean mountains are fraught with a lot of interesting and unexplored. They protect the peninsula on the south side and delight with their sometimes bizarre forms. One of the most remarkable and memorable rocks is called Ak-Kaya. Ak-Kaya is located near the village of Belaya Skala in the Belogorsk region.

The name Ak-Kaya is translated from the Crimean Tatar as "white rock". Moreover, it is under this name that it is better known among tourists and local residents. And the village of Belaya Skala got its name precisely in connection with the proximity of Ak-Kai. Approaching these places of the Belogorsk region, Ak-Kai simply cannot be overlooked. It is a steep white cliff with a very flat top. Ak-Kaya serves as a natural decoration of the Biyuk-Karasu river valley. The height of the White Rock reaches three hundred and twenty-five meters, so if you approach its foot and look up, it will seem infinitely high. From a distance, Ak-Kaya looks perfectly flat, but in fact it is filled with many rapids and ledges.

Once upon a time, cave bears and giant deer lived on Ak-Kaya, but today only bones remain of them.

The ancient capital of the Scythians was located near Ak-Kai: an ancient settlement with an area of 10 hectares has already been found

From a distance in the photo, the White Rock seems smooth, monolithic, but if you come closer, you can see the numerous ledges created by wind and rains over the millennia.

There are many caves in the rock. The most famous of them is Altyn-Teshik, with which many legends are associated. According to one of them, a dragon lived here
