  Really amazing site; just wish i brought lunch and a swimsuit so I could swim by the ruins. Signs are not useful if you don't speak Russian or Ukrainian but still very worth it.

  This location is a historical site that mixes Byzantine Empire with Ancient Greek and also has a 19th century Byzantine style Orthodox Cathedral. The ruins are in very good shape. There is also a museum of Byzantine art and artifacts. Actually there are 2 museums, but one was closed for reconstruction.Getting there is actually easy, city bus #22 takes you to the front gate (last stop on the bus). Seems that Trip Advisor has what looks like a duplicate listinghttp://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g295387-d2453092-Reviews-Chersonesus_National_Sanctuary-Sevastopol_Sevastopol_Municipality_Crimean_Peninsu.html

  I was taken to this ancient ruin as part of a Black Sea cruise excursion. Unfortunately I visited Ephesus a few days earlier, so this was not as impressive as one expected. The size of the whole site was smaller than Ephesus as this was just a village. There was a museum building that housed most of the artifacts. There was good documentation of the artifacts. The site itself was excavated partially. It was situated on the shores of the Black Sea and the view was impressive.

  My guide took me here and had some interesting stories to tell. Check out some of the pottery and mosaic remains on display - very nice! There're some active archaeology projects going on and I was lucky to hear a bit of the description by overhearing a tour guide for a group describing some findings. The main site is easy to see in a short time and is great for photos. I was all churched out, so ignored the associated church here.

  This is a beautiful place right by the sea. Even if you are not into history, it makes a lovely walk, especially in summer. Well preserved and kept, this is a must see visit if you are in the area.

  i visited sevastopol with my friend when we were students, couple of years ago. i like greek history, architecture and everything connected with greece, so we decided to visit this ancient greek city. the city is located on the seashore (there is also a beach), at the entrance there is a orthodox church (worth-visiting, too). you can see a lot of ruins of houses, temple, winery and defensive towers. it's quite a busy place, there always a lot of tourists. you can also buy souvenirs (i've bought ashtray with greek-style pictures and inscriptions) and see other small items, that are exhibited aside

  Not the most impressive ruins you will see and the museum didn't have much to offer but scenic nevertheless.

  great place to swim as long as the corrupt govt. does not try to take it over and make a theme park out of it.

  In comparison with Jerash or Pompeii, Chersonesos' ruins look very common. Lots of towns in Provence have something similar. But the history behind Chersonesos is fascinating. If you know it, walking along the ruins have a different meaning. And the view on Sevastopol's harbor is awesome. Worth visiting if you know the story. Definitely worth visiting if you haven't seen the ruins of an ancient town before.
