Mount Sokol

Sokol Mount (Falcon Mountain) is Europe's biggest and oldest coral reef raising on a height of 474-meter over the sea at the South-East from Novy Svet settlement. Its name means "bird's rock" in Turkic. There are a dozen birds of prey on the rock and around it: eagles, kites, hawks, and falcons, to name a few. Over 20 climbing trails of various degrees of difficulty have been laid on the southwestern and southern face of the cliff. The only road from Sudak to Novy Svet passes through the southern slope of Mount Sokol. The round trip on its peak and back takes about 3-4 hours.
