Continue on the E105 until you reach the junction with the R21 road (also known as the Yalta highway). Take the R21 and follow the signs towards Yalta. After passing Yalta, look for signs indicating the direction to the village of Aivazovsky. From Aivazovsky, take the local road heading towards the village of Dzhankhot. Continue driving until you reach a parking area near the entrance to Jur-Jur Falls, which is approximately 1 km from the falls themselves. Note that there may be a small parking fee (around 50-100 UAH).

Once in Alushta, transfer to another bus or marshrutka heading towards Yalta. Ask the driver to drop you off at the stop for the village of Dzhankhot. From there, you will need to walk approximately 1 km to the falls. Be prepared for a bit of a hike, as the path can be uneven. You may need to pay a small entrance fee (around 20 UAH) at the falls.
