I am in Yalta, working as a guest lecturer on the cruise ship "Spirit of Adventure" on 4th and 5th September. I am wondering how much a visit to Nikitsky Botanical Garden might cost on one of these dates (I am not sure yet which day).

Are there any other strongly natural history tours you offer from Yalta (or Sevastopol, which we visit on 6th September).
