The embankment of paratroopers in Feodosia and how to visit it

What to Expect and Is It Worth Visiting

A few years ago the embankment of Paratroopers in Feodosia was a sad sight in places: broken pavement, concrete blocks, the remains of rusty fences. But today it has turned into another great place for daytime walks and evening promenades. There were beautiful flower beds, sculptures and commemorative signs, benches for recreation, fountains, catering points, improved lighting. Right from the embankment there are passages to the Feodosiya beaches, all of them, by the way, are free.

In addition to the Paratroopers' Embankment, you can go for a walk in Feodosia along at least two more walking streets: Galeriynaya Street and Aivazovsky Avenue.

The embankment of Paratroopers in Feodosia is named after the paratroopers who landed in the port of Feodosia during the Great Patriotic War on December 29, 1941. It was one of the stages of a major military operation of the Soviet troops on the Kerch Peninsula called the Kerch landing operation. It was held from December 26, 1941 to January 2, 1942, and according to its results, the territory of the Kerch Peninsula was liberated from the German-Romanian troops. On this occasion, a monument to the memory of the "Feodosiya landing of 1941" has been erected on the embankment.
