Seyitler

Seyitler belongs to the open steppe of northeastern Crimea, near the lower Salhyr and the shallow waters of the Syvash. A small Crimean Tatar village of this name was recorded at the end of the Crimean Khanate, before the Russian annexation of 1783. The Salhyr's course brought water down from the mountains through the peninsula's dry northern plain, linking the inland country with the salt lagoons at its edge. The name Seyitler remained associated with this part of the steppe.
