Old postcards Yalta

The section of the website dedicated to old postcards of Yalta is a true treasure for those who want to see what one of the most picturesque cities of Crimea looked like during the post-war and Soviet years. It features rare views of Yalta on postcards, issued between 1945 and 1991: embankments, streets and houses, squares, monuments, familiar faces, and scenes of seaside leisure.

These old photos of Yalta convey the atmosphere of a cozy resort life, where calmness met architectural elegance. Of particular interest are the historical photographs of Yalta, which capture iconic landmarks such as the Alupka Palace Museum, the legendary Oreanda Hotel, the A.P. Chekhov House Museum, and the Primorsky Park (1968).

Old Yalta in photographs comes alive in every frame, evoking the golden era of the Yalta resort. The history of Yalta in photographs is more than just images — it’s a visual chronicle of a city people fell in love with at first sight. Yalta — street photos, filled with sunlight, sea breeze, and the voices of vacationers, represent a piece of the soul of Crimea’s southern coast.

This section is more than just an archive of old postcards or Soviet cards. It is a living visual memory, lovingly preserved for a city that has always been a symbol of warmth, culture, and inspiration.
