Dear brothers and sisters, We cordially welcome all visitors to this website, which provides an opportunity for pilgrims and all those who are interested in the history of Crimea to get acquainted with the work of the pilgrimage center of the Simferopol and Crimean Diocese. 

Pilgrimage is a prayerful and penitential work, spiritual work to purify and transform one’s soul. The pilgrimage Center organizes trips to the Christian shrines of our blessed peninsula with accommodation and meals in Orthodox hotels located on the seashore in Alupka, Novofedorovka, Feodosia and Sevastopol. On this website you can find out about the multi-day programs developed by the staff of the center, as well as other useful information. 

The history of the Russian pilgrimage is a history of asceticism, a history of striving for holiness. May the spiritual joy and knowledge of the truth that the Lord brought into this world await you along this path, and with which the Orthodox shrines of Crimea are abundantly filled. The Pilgrimage Center of the Simferopol and Crimean Diocese carries out its activities with the blessing of His Eminence Tikhon, Metropolitan of Simferopol and Crimea.
