Feodosia is one of the oldest cities in Europe, existing for more than 25 centuries. Every corner of the city breathes history. The history of the city dates back to the middle of the 6^th century BC, when ships of Greek-Hellenes landed on the shores of a cozy sandy Bay.

Later, the city changed several names: Genoese Kafa, Turkish Kefe and Kucuk-Istanbul.

St. Sergius, St. Gabriel and Michael, St. George, mufti-Jami mosque of the XVII century, one of the oldest temples in the city — the Greek Church of the Introduction to the temple of the most Holy Theotokos. Since the time of the Russian Empire, Feodosia is decorated with noble mansions of the 19^th – 20^th centuries, located along the city’s embankment. The pearl among them is considered to be the Stamboli Cottage, built in the Moorish style in 1914.
