Feodosiya, Feodosia or Feodossija (Ukrainian: Феодосія; Russian: Феодосия) is a port and resort city in Crimea, Ukraine, located on the Black Sea coast. During much of its history the town was known as Caffa (Ligurian:Cafˆ) or Kaffa (Crimean Tatar: Kefe). The city was founded under the name of Theodosia by Greek colonists from Miletos in the 6th century BC. Noted for its rich agricultural lands, on which its trade depended, it was destroyed by the Huns in the 4th century AD. Theodosia remained a minor village for much of the next nine hundred years. It was at various times part of the sphere of influence of the Khazars (excavations have revealed Khazar artifacts dating back to the ninth century) and of the Byzantine Empire. Ottoman control ceased when the expanding Russian Empire conquered the whole Crimea in 1783. It was renamed Feodosiya in 1802, a Russian version of the ancient Greek name. Feodosiya has 'small town charm' yet with all the modern conveniences. The city is sparsely populated during the winter months. Most of the cafes and restaurants are closed. Business and tourism begin to increase in mid-June and peak during the months of July and August ... more on Wikipedia.The text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License; additional terms may apply.
