“Journalists from Italy, Bulgaria, Syria, France, Poland, Latvia, Lebanon, Lithuania and Cuba take part in the press tour,” the agency’s source said.
It is expected that representatives of Western media will stay on the peninsula until March 18.
Foreign journalists are planning to cover the festive events on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the reunification of the Crimea with Russia.
Earlier in the Crimea, a visit was announced on March 16 by representatives of public associations and journalists from Germany.
Crimea became the Russian region after the referendum held there in March 2014, in which the majority of residents spoke in favor of reunification with Russia.
