The history of the formation of the village begins in the 19th century, when Lev Sergeevich Golitsyn decided to open a winery on the territory of the peninsula. Russian winemaking dates back to that very time. On the territory of the prince's estate, the first buildings of the future plant were opened, the main field of activity of which was the production of champagne.
The local climate and nature are perfect for vineyards, as there is enough sun and humidity.... Champagne wines, which were produced at the factory, were produced according to traditional technology, so they were obtained of exceptional quality.
The first name of the village in translation from English meant Paradise, and sounded like Paradise. The changes were made after a visit to Nicholas II, who decided to visit the territory of the plant. Novy Svet received the status of an urban-type settlement, and since that time the name has not changed.
People come here today to see Golitsyn's palaces... In one it was decided to organize a museum, the other became an example of amazing Moorish architecture, so it can be found on the emblem of the settlement. Despite the fact that so much time has passed, the plant is still operating.

In the bays that are located in the vicinity of the village, there are many vacationers who prefer to live as a savage. You need to take everything you need with you, including water, since the area is not yet equipped for campgrounds. Nevertheless, everything you need can be found on the territory of the nearest village, which is just a stone's throw away.
Tourists who choose this type of vacation do not depend on the local authorities in anything. Seats on wild beaches are completely free, but you need to keep clean.
While in the botanical reserve, be sure to visit the local attraction - Golitsyn path, which was laid about 150 years ago. Its beginning lies in the Green Bay, on the way you will surely meet a grotto, inside which the air temperature is 5 degrees with a plus sign. It is known from history that this place was actively used due to its unique properties as a wine cellar.
Then the trail leads to Pirate Bay. This interesting name is due to its rich history. According to the chronicles, pirates buried their treasures here. From here you get to the Tsarskoe beach, which became famous after visiting Nicholas II. Today, the trail has collapsed in places after the last earthquake, so it has become more difficult to get to the beach.
Another attraction of the New World - fortress Asandra... Its remains can be seen today. The object appeared in the 1st century. BC e., was used as a defensive structure, which was necessary during the active struggle against pirates.
There is a fortress at an altitude of 70 meters on a cliff Guard-Oba. If you need to find your way around, then you should take the tenth kilometer on the Sudak-Alushta highway as a guide. It's easier this way, since most of the visitors prefer to move around the territory of the village and its environs by rented transport.
Today the ruins cover 0.25 hectares. The fortress was discovered in 1982 by archaeologist Baranov, who noticed that the structure had antique forms. There are four towers at the corners of the rectangle. The walls at the entrance were 3 meters thick, where the cliff was located, only 60 centimeters. The parapets were at a distance of 4-6 meters in height. There was a smithy and other necessary buildings inside.
The total number of people inside was 100 people, all supplies came from the sea from Feodosia.
The object was no longer actively used during the rule of Aspurg. Everything valuable was taken out in due time, only empty walls remained, which later turned into ruins. During the excavations, dishes, parts of weapons, and pottery were found. Today the fortress has become a local landmark, you can see it and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the past. An amazing view opens up from here. A well has been preserved on a large square in the center.
To preserve the landmark, it was decided to restore the foundation. The Black Sea and the nearby bays are perfectly visible from the walls. Not far from this place there is another village - Veseloe, where the famous Kazantip festival is held today.
The Reef Mountains stretch from Sudak to Novyi Svet. The entire highland is divided into quaint areas, many vineyards and pink groves. In the Sudak Bay, which is bordered by Cape Alchak and the Fortress Mountain, there is the city of Sudak, which is also full of natural beauty.
For example, the mountains here are special, they have an unusual structure - they mainly consist of limestone. Even with the naked eye, the remains of fossils presented in the form of organic matter are visible. These are not only corals, but also algae, and even bryozoans. All these organisms were at a depth of no more than 50 meters, because they prefer clean and warm water.
The limestone skeleton was created by corals, it was they who pumped calcium out of the water and created it around them. Dying over many generations, rocks were formed in this place, which, for example, in the Pacific Ocean, are called reefs.
On the territory of Crimea, reefs are about 150 million years old, after a decrease in sea level, they were covered with clay, then wind and rains destroyed it, exposing limestone.
The nearby airport in Simferopol allows you to quickly get to the described place.
Pirate or Robber Beach is located in Blue Bay. According to history, in the 13th century, numerous pirates and smugglers landed here, wanting to hide the loot. All ships that sailed from the south could not see this place, since it was covered by Cape Kapchik. This was very convenient for robbers who could attack unexpectedly.
If we talk about the advantages of the beach as a local attraction, then it is rather uncomfortable and narrow. Rockfalls often occur here, which can be very dangerous.
Most of the beach is covered with boulders, they are also in the sea, but covered with abundant vegetation, therefore slippery, which is why you should be careful. Conveniences are also lacking, there is a tourist Golitsyn trail nearby.
According to one of the legends, it is believed that deep in the sea there are ships with treasures that have not been raised from the bottom. If you want to come here, it is better to use a boat than to travel by land.
There is a nearby New World and another attraction - Koba-Kaya or Mount Eagle. This object is an amazing attraction, a coral reef that rises 165 meters above sea level. Where the sea washes it, there is a sheer cliff with a grotto. If you want to capture an amazing view, then you should climb to the highest point, from where you can see the Black Sea.
It is not so easy to make a fascinating walk, as there is a narrow path to the top with cliffs along the edge, so it is important to be especially careful. Cavers explored this place for a long time, after which an underwater cave was discovered, which it was decided to call the "Legend".
You can get into it through the water surface, you may need to swim a short distance under water. Tourists are attracted here by the opportunity to look at the freshwater lake, as well as stalactites and stalagmites.
At the bottom of the mountain, you can admire the numerous flora and fauna, at the top they are practically absent. Local flowers are used as aromatic ingredients that are added to drinks.
If you choose the angle correctly, then Mount Koba-Kaya becomes similar in shape to an eagle, hence the name.
