The Golden Fleece, Yalta (must see)
The Golden Fleece is one of Yalta’s most recognizable landmarks, a restaurant and nightlife venue built in the shape of an ancient Greek ship along the city’s scenic seafront embankment. Set against the backdrop of the Black Sea, it captures both Yalta’s maritime spirit and its flair for theatrical design. The name evokes the myth of Jason and the Argonauts, and fittingly, this “ship” seems forever anchored at the edge of adventure and indulgence.
By day, The Golden Fleece operates as a restaurant serving local and international cuisine, featuring outdoor terraces that overlook the sea. Guests come for the view as much as for the menu, enjoying the salty breeze and the lively promenade that stretches along Yalta’s coast. The ship-like structure, complete with masts, sails, and wooden detailing, makes dining here a distinctly cinematic experience—something between a seaside escape and a mythological voyage.
When night falls, the atmosphere shifts dramatically. The Golden Fleece transforms into a vibrant club where music, performances, and light shows take over the deck. The combination of architecture, sound, and sea views creates one of the city’s most popular evening destinations, attracting locals and visitors alike who come to dance or simply watch the spectacle unfold.
More than a restaurant, The Golden Fleece is a symbol of Yalta’s creative energy and love of coastal life. It celebrates the city’s blend of myth and modernity, offering travelers a unique way to experience the Black Sea—between history, fantasy, and the rhythm of the waves.
