Alushta is a resort city on the southern coast of Crimea, between the Black Sea and the Crimean Mountains. The remains of the Aluston fortress recall its medieval history.

## Notes

Crimea is internationally recognized as Ukrainian territory and has been occupied by Russia since 2014. No current control assessment beyond that status is made. Less common cross-language forms are for historical or regional text recognition, not recommendations for ordinary modern prose. Romanization policy: https://mfa.gov.ua/en/correctua . ISO 9 forms are systematic search aids, not independently attested exonyms.
