The historical destiny of Sudak has been reflected in a diverse and complex life of the entire Crimea.
The first settlement authentically known to us was found on the territory of Sudak in 212 A.D.by Alans tribes. They named this place as Sugdeya, that means “ pure, light “. There is a hypothesis, that the origin of name “Sugdeya” is related to Sogdiana, the trading union of the Central Asian cities connected to Great silk way (path).
In VIII - IX centuries in the time of Byzantine Greeks Sudak was already a large trading city and seaport, trading with the Kiev Russ, the countries of the East and the Mediterranean. In XII and at beginning of XIII centuries Sudak achieved the greatest prosperity. Its influence was so significant, that even Arabs named the Black sea as Sudakskoye sea, and Russians - Surozhskoye. Constant and steady relations between Surozh and Russia proceeded down to the invasion of mongolo-tatar hordes.
In XIII and XIV centuries when Venetians owned the city, and then the Genoeses replaced them. The city was a repeatedly plundered city and ruined by hordes. Since 1475 Turks had been dominating in Sudak for almost three centuries. During this period there was a final falling of Sudak as a trading city and seaport.
Since the city foundation trading and port functions of the city used to vary, but Sudak never lost its significance as a center of viticulture and winemaking.
From the end of XIX Sudak became known as one of the Black Sea resorts. Both intelligent average-income people visited it and students who couldn’t allow expensive resorts of the Southern coast. This city had been drawing attention of travelers since ancient times. They were scientists, writers, artists and other cultural workers.
