Khram-Mayak Svyatogo Nikolaya Chudotvortsa, or the Church-Lighthouse of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, located in Malorechenskoye, Crimea, is a unique architectural marvel combining an active Orthodox church with a functioning lighthouse, also housing a museum dedicated to maritime disasters. The site is generally accessible by road, though the complex itself involves some stairs, potentially limiting full accessibility for those with mobility issues. Visitors can easily explore independently, with guided tours often available as part of broader regional excursions. It's open year-round, but severe winter weather may impact travel to the region. Entry to the church is typically free, though a small fee may apply for the museum, and donations are welcome. A typical visit duration is 1-2 hours, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Black Sea; modest attire is advisable out of respect for its religious function.
