Yalta (, , ) is a city in Crimea, southern Ukraine, on the north coast of the Black Sea. The city is located on the site of an ancient Greek colony, said to have been founded by Greek sailors who were looking for a safe shore (γιαλος - yalos in Greek) on which to land. It is situated on a shallow bay facing south towards the Black Sea, surrounded by wooded mountains.

a most popular tourist trap and should be enjoyed as such, for the town holds more of an appeal than its stony urban beaches and imported palms
