Eski Kermen is a medieval town located just 6 km from Mangupa, in the Bakhchisaray region in Crimea.
Over the centuries the dwellings grew and housed several hundreds of people at one time.
Religious life was important to these people who had a few temples and churches built in the caves.
The cave city was inhabited until the arrival of the Mongols in the 13th century.
Today, the caves of Eski Kermen makes for a great day-trip and for hikes.
