Just starting, you ask likely travellers about Black Sea resort (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yalta

'black sea resort' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'just starting you ask likely travellers about' is the wordplay.
'just starting' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letters of 'you ask likely travellers about' is 'YALTA'.

(Other definitions for yalta that I've seen before include "Conference location" , "Nineteen forty five conference site" , "wartime meeting-place" , "WW2 1945 conference town" , "City on the Black Sea, where Roosevelt, Stalin and Churchill met in 1945" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
