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.
