Cape Meganom is considered a place of power. Many amazing stories are associated with him. Some argue that there is a magnetic anomaly that attracts UFOs. During the tourist season, Meganom is popular with parapsychologists and ufologists.
One of the most mysterious sights of Crimea - the Meganom Peninsula - is located in the southeast between Sudak and Koktebel. The area of the rocky peninsula is about 20 km, on it stands out the most prominent cape in the sea - Cape Meganom. Due to the hot, dry climate and picturesque mountainous terrain in this part of the peninsula, this piece of land is sometimes referred to as “Crimean Tunisia”. The easiest way to get to Meganom is by bus from Sudak, getting off at the Kapsel bus station.
Most of the Meganom Peninsula is not inhabited today, but along the perimeter of its territory there are four settlements: Almond (formerly Arka-Deresi), Bogatovka (Tokluk), Solnechnaya Dolina (Koz) and Pribrezhnoe (Kefessia), and in the western part there is a dacha massif. This area is rich in archaeological monuments, some of which are associated with the history of the Greek colonization of the Northern Black Sea region.
Why is Cape Meganom called a place of power? In Soviet times, several military units functioned on the Meganom Peninsula. They say that in 1960, the military tested a nuclear bomb under water near Meganom and thus, according to the assumptions of ufologists, angered the higher powers, writes the LifeGlobe portal. Many believe that Meganom is a magnetic anomaly. The military, as far as is known, studied its effect on guidance systems.
Not so long ago, the cape was a closed zone, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union, access here became free. The water here is considered the cleanest and clearest on the entire peninsula. The sea is full of fish, mussels, crabs, rapans. It is on Cape Meganom that spearfishing competitions are often held. Here yoga, ufology, parapsychologists, sectarians conduct their trainings. The peak season on Meganom is July and August. at this time, every fragment of the beach is filled with tents, and on large glades there are tents and dozens of tents of all kinds of esoteric schools where dozens and hundreds of followers live.
Many especially impressionable tourists, visiting this cape, say that they see a certain ghost ship wandering alone along the sea surface. They say that at Cape Megan, Odysseus met a one-eyed cyclops, and through the underground caves of Karadag, which are visible at low tide, he descended into this very kingdom of Hades.
