Bakota is a submerged village that is 55 km from Kamianets-Podilskyi, Khmelnytskyi region. The ancient settlement was first mentioned in the 13th century. At the end of the 20th century (1981), after the construction of New Dniester Hydroelectric Station, Bakota was flooded, and the “Bakota Sea” emerged. The unique rock-cave St. Michael's monastery (13-14th century) is located at the cliff of the “sea’s” bank, which is about 70 m height.
