Hi, the buildings with minarets what are these? Mosques? And cool pictures buddy, great buildings.
 
Yes, there are mosques in Crimea. Crimean Tatars are Muslims, they make up 12-13% of the population of the peninsula.

What is temperature there in winters and summers? I see people wearing shorts that gives an impression as if its hot whereas my perception was something always covered with snow :D.

By the way I have a Ukrainian colleague he is very good at learning Urdu (Pakistan's language).

On the southern coast, separated from the steppes by mountains is very warm (by Russian standards), there is a Mediterranean climate in that place. Ancient Greeks have had colonies there. Those place was part of the Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman Empires. Genoeses also lived there and built mighty fortresses.
