The Autonomous Republic of Crimea is part of the Ukraine. The northern administrative boundaries of the Crimea lie along Perekopsky Val and Sivash. In the north-eastern part of the peninsula lies a long sand spit called Arabatskaya Strelka, and its northern wider half belongs to the Kherson region of the Ukraine. Simferopol, the capital of the Crimea and the hub of business and cultural life, binds together all roads on the peninsula.

Relief. Crimean plains are little different from the steppes of the neighbouring Ukrainian regions, but they blend with the Tarkhankuta limestone escarpment in the west, and in the east they turn into hilly ridges of the Kerch Peninsula. The most prominent mountain ranges on the peninsula are the Crimean Mountains, which form three parallel ridges and extend 150 kilometres from Sevastopol to Feodosiya. Their northern slopes are quite flat, while the southern ones are precipitous. Two lower ridges form the Crimean foothills, cut into separate massifs by picturesque river valleys, while the main ridge rises like a continuous barrier, which goes up higher than thousand meters almost at about every stretch (its highest point is Roman-Kosh, 1,545 m). Near its southern steep cliff, this ridge hides a narrow strip of land, protecting it from the cold wind - the famous southern coast of the Crimea.
