After Kinomistechko we left sea coast and went directly to the west. Coastline makes bend here, which is called Meganom. Meganom also is a mountain, so we decided to avoid the climb and go through Sonyachna Dolyna (Sunny Valley), which located north of it.
The valley proved to be really sunny: trees were rare and small. Landscapes were very opened. While going we found only a couple of water reservoirs and no river. But people have used such a climate for growing grapes: all fields and gentle hills around were covered with vineyards. And, if you know, Sonyachna Dolyna is one of the famous Ukrainian wine brands.
After crossing Sonyachna Dolyna we made a camp on the mountain near source Ai-Georgiy. This place is elevated over the valley, so we could see the wide scenery with Meganom in the end.
The next morning we left this sunny valley. We returned to the sea and went around mountain Alchak. Passing the mountain we have entered another great valley, where city Sudak is situated. But it is a material for the next part of this story.
And here you can see some photos:
