Novy Svet is a small village about 7 kilometres west of Sudak, set in a dramatic bay between limestone cliffs and pebble beaches. The village itself is charming and relatively unspoiled, with a few hundred residents, a shaded promenade, and access to some of the clearest water on the Crimean coast. The three beaches — Green Bay, Blue Bay, and Thieves' Bay — are reached by a cliff path from the village and are spectacularly situated.
The Novy Svet winery, founded by Prince Golitsyn in 1878, produces sparkling wines in the traditional méthode champenoise. The winery's caves — carved into the limestone cliffs by Golitsyn's workers — can be visited by tour, and the wines can be tasted and bought at the estate. The dry Brut is the best of the range.
