I had a chance to visit Crimea last summer. There are very few Krimchaki left -but I did get a chance to visit the city of Cufut Kale, a fortress built in the mountains, originally by the Krimchaki, though later it was subverted by the Karaim.
Many great pics can be found here on my Blog
Mottel,
Really cool pics, I bet that was a heck of a trip!
