Копорская крепость
Museum
Open Details
Another one of the most interesting ancient defensive forts in the Leningrad region, which is certainly worth visiting is the fortress Koporye, located in the village of the same name.
It has a rather rich and interesting story, which the guide will tell you in detail. Restoration works are carried out in some areas, but this does not prevent the general flow of tourists.

Шепелёвский маяк
Lighthouse
Open Details
After lunch we went to the coast of the Gulf of Finland to the village of Shepelevo, where the lighthouse of the same name is located. Of course, the lighthouse itself is still functioning as intended, so it is unlikely to get inside, but a stroll through the area leaves the most pleasant impressions, there are beautiful views of the bay.

Grillbar Academia
Open Details
We decided to finish our journey not so far from Peterhof, having dinner in a small grill bar. Here a huge number of different grilled meat and fish dishes are prepared. You should definitely try Bavarian sausages as well as burgers and ribs. It's worth saying that there's also dessert to choose from. Personally, I had a chocolate cake with fresh strawberry berries to taste.
