The bays form a unique attraction of Sevastopol. The city stands like an elevated amphitheater on their shores, and the bays give it an extraordinary charm. The bay of Sevastopol stretches from the open sea eastward to the Inkerman Monastery at the end, narrowing down and finishing at the mouth of the Chorna river. The bay forms the seaward approach to the city. Covering a large expanse of water, the harbor serves as a comfortable anchorage for a fleet. From the beginning of the 20th century it housed cruisers and ironclads. The number of piers along the shores of the harbor far exceeds the number of bays.
