The first registered settlement in the area of the present city was called Kerkinanitida. It was built by Greek colonists around 500 BC. Kerkinitida, together with the rest of the Crimea, was part of the state of the Pontic king Mithridates VI (nickname – Eupator).
From VII to X centuries it was a Khazar settlement. Later, the settlement was under the control of the Mongols and the Crimean Khanate and was called Kezlev. In 1478-1485 the city was under the rule of the Ottoman Empire.
The mild climate without sudden changes in temperature makes this area especially favorable for health.
