The most beautiful resort in Crimea. Crimean resorts on the Azov and Black Seas

The rating was compiled by the website www.site, the survey was conducted at checkpoints to Crimea: port "Caucasus", Armyansk, Chongar and airport "Simferopol".
At each point, 1,300 questionnaires were collected, the sample was 5,200 people. 4,479 people were treated - 56% women and 44% men. The age of the audience is from 21 to 63 years.
The main condition of the survey was the exclusion of the local population of Crimea from the survey in order to obtain an objective result of the preferences of guests of the peninsula.
The purpose of the survey is to determine the rating, according to tourists, of the best places to relax in Crimea.

Rating of the best cities according to guests of Crimea

It rightfully takes first place. The popularization of the resort began in the 18th century by the Romanov royal family and noble noble families of St. Petersburg and Moscow. Every noble family considered it their duty to build at least a small estate in Crimea, not to mention such masterpieces as the Livadia, Vorontsov, and Massandra palaces.
The Yalta embankment is to this day the most visited place in Crimea. Thousands of people take their evening stroll before bed or a stormy night. Cypress trees, plane trees, palm trees, cozy benches, fountains, warm sea wind and the sound of the sea - this is only a small part of the overall picture of the Yalta embankment.
The embankments, parks, castles and historical places of Yalta still attract many tourists and vacationers to this beautiful city.

Starting with Maximilian Voloshin, the village simply attracts creative youth. It is the unofficial capital of nudists. In the water area of ​​the village there is the most beautiful extinct volcano Kara-Dag and the Golden Gate near it. The beaches in Koktebel are made of large pebbles and there is practically no sand, due to which the water is clear almost all the time. .

Children's health resort of Crimea. The variety of beaches, from small pebbles to the purest white sand, temples, mosques, history dating back to the ancient city of Kerkinitis, built by the Greeks in the 5th century BC, give Evpatoria the legal right to occupy third place in the ranking of the best cities in Crimea. Two water parks, a dolphinarium, and attractions at every turn make the city an ideal place for a family vacation.

Alushta is the first big city on the road from Simferopol to Yalta. A large number of sanatoriums and hotels made this place extremely attractive for tourists. Accommodation prices have always been lower than in Yalta. The presence of a water park, a dolphinarium, aquariums and many entertainment venues attract a large number of tourists from all over the world.

The city of military glory with the ruins of the ancient city of Chersonesus, the baptism of Prince Vladimir, who baptized Rus', and many other historical heritage deservedly occupies fifth place in the ranking. Sevastopol today has the largest number of monuments and attractions stretching from antiquity to the present day. The atmosphere of the city of Sevastopol is very different from the entire Crimea. For a relatively short period of time, in relation to other resort cities, Sevastopol is open to tourists. Local residents have not yet been imbued with the spirit of commerce and live in their own beautiful and heroic world, full of battles, city defenses, battles for every street. There are memorials, museums, dioramas and panoramas at almost every step.

One of the most ancient cities in the world. The city is steeped in history and has many historical attractions. Wonderful beaches, mountain air and juniper groves make this city not only one of the oldest, but also one of the most amazing cities in the world.

A small village on the southern coast of the Crimean Peninsula. He rightfully considers the Foros Church, built on a steep cliff rising high above the city, to be its most beautiful attraction. Foros is also famous for some of the cleanest beaches in Crimea. The absence of large cities, industry and ports makes this corner of Crimea practically a protected area.

It certainly took its place in the ranking because of its unusual bay, in which even in the most severe storm at sea, the water swell does not even reach level 1. In a small area of ​​the city there are not enough attractions. A submarine base, a Genoese fortress, one of the oldest churches in Crimea and much more. The city is one of the ten best places to visit in Crimea.

One of the most cozy villages on the Crimean coast, even Mount Cat lies on its coast. Calm, quiet village. Couples in love have long chosen it for its romance and silence. A large coastline, clean beaches, a relatively short distance from the main attractions of the southern coast of Crimea make this place the golden mean between Yalta and Alushta.

The village of Partenit closes the ranking. One of the calling cards of Crimea, Bear Mountain, is located right here. Partenit is also famous for its beaches and coastal area. The village is most often associated with family and quiet holidays. After 21:00 the village becomes quiet, only coastal establishments accept overnight guests, and for the most part these are small and cute restaurants with sea views.

The best cities of Crimea on the map

Even if Crimea is not very big, there are resorts here for every taste. The terrain of the peninsula is so diverse that it simply boggles the imagination. The mountainous Crimea is gorgeous, the South Coast is amazing, the Western Crimea is amazing, and the eastern one is unique. Wherever you go, there is a different sea, different mountains, and a different flora.

As a rule, the most expensive holidays are in Yalta and its vicinity. In the area of ​​Sudak and Yevpatoria you can find much more affordable housing and food. There are also different climatic characteristics. Crimea differs sharply from mainland Russia in its warm winters, especially in the south, where temperatures rarely drop below zero.

We can safely say that the climate on the entire peninsula contributes to improved health, not only near the sea. On the coast there is a cool spring and very warm autumn; it happens that in November you can walk in a T-shirt.

West Bank

Here nature has provided a real storehouse with balneo-mud resources. Main resort cities: Saki, Evpatoria. These are endless strips of sandy beaches. The steppe air goes well with the sea; it is saturated with healthy salts that rise not only from the sea, but also from Lake Saki.

But in winter and autumn it is cold here, all because of the westerly winds, which create real cold, and there is also no such protector as the mountains. The swimming season opens from the beginning of June and lasts until mid-October.

There is a large concentration of sanatorium institutions in this area. The treatment is most effective due to the fact that mud and brine are used in large quantities; they do not spare it here. There are also often mineral springs, the water from which is bottled and drunk directly in pump rooms, taken in baths, and inhaled.

The Pearl of the West Bank - . There are very unusual rocks, clear water, white sand, a “cup of love.” Being here, it seems like you are somewhere on an exotic island. During the holiday season, vacationers are provided with a refined and equipped beach holiday. In October you can still sunbathe and swim in Evpatoria itself, but on Tarkhankut the cold winds will already rule and you will want to warm yourself.

The sea is less stormy and warms up faster due to the shallow waters, but in the fall it quickly becomes cool, unlike the South Coast. For this reason, the daytime breeze eases the summer heat with its coolness, sometimes the irrepressible wind begins to irritate, it can blow here incessantly, raising sandstorms, carrying away umbrellas, hats, tents, towels, independently leafing through the pages of books.

The hot sand of the beach penetrates deep into the ailments of the body, copes with diseases of the musculoskeletal system, respiratory organs, and treats problems in urology/gynecology. If your legs hurt, or you don’t want to “jump” through the mountains, then the plains of western resort towns and villages will definitely appeal to you.

The downside of the “West” is the almost complete absence of attractions created by nature. The landscapes are completely dull and monotonous, there is nothing else to contemplate except the surface of the sea, but, for example, children get a unique pleasure from frolicking in the shallow water and building sand castles. There is no tropical vegetation or rocks here. To truly experience Crimea, you will have to go on a long excursion to another area.

South Coast

The nature of the southern coast and up to the city of Sevastopol is very reminiscent of Monaco and Nice. The conditions here are also similar - subtropics, coastal protection by high mountains, forest and sea.

Prices for housing, food, resort goods, fruits and vegetables are higher here. Beaches with pebbles, in some places large and uncomfortable to lie on. Often entering the water is problematic, especially if the sea is rough. Meanwhile, the absence of sand makes sea water perfectly transparent. In such water you want to endlessly dive and admire the underwater world. However, the strips of beaches are becoming narrower every year; if the authorities do not begin to “pour” the rubble, this will threaten a complete lack of places for sunbathing.

The main ridge of the Crimean Mountains stretches along the entire coast. The rocks are densely overgrown with coniferous forest, so the air here is the most healing and delicious. This air seems like you can even pour it into a glass and drink it, like a healthy oxygen cocktail. Pine trees, juniper groves, cypresses and cedars constantly emit substances into the atmosphere that kill microbes outright - phytoncides.

The purest mountain air, pleasant sea breeze, coniferous forests, all this creates simply unique conditions for the health of people suffering from nervous disorders, allergies, respiratory diseases, and cardiovascular dysfunctions. All health resorts in Yalta are aimed specifically at such ailments. Pulmonologists only need to slightly supplement the treatment with some procedures, and the unique climate does the rest. By the way, in Yalta, concerts and shows are held almost every day with the participation of the brightest stars and comedians of the Russian stage; cultural life is simply in full swing.

You can dare and boldly declare that Alushta and the entire Greater Yalta have the most beautiful places in Crimea, the landscapes here are better, even than in Sochi. In winter, the temperature does not drop below 5 degrees, but there is snow in the mountains and you can snowboard and ski.

Closer to Alushta, the ridge of the Crimean Mountains becomes steeper, and it is very difficult for cold winds to break through it. The average daily temperature in winter is +2, and in summer +23, at the height of summer it jumps to +40. Fresh wind makes the climate colder than in Yalta. The beach area is wide, the sea is clean, and the city also has an excellent promenade. There are real subtropics near the sea, and deciduous trees on the mountain slopes.

All the iconic places of Crimea are concentrated on the southern coast and close to it. By the way, when going here, you need to remember that there are basically no plains here; you will have to walk along steps everywhere, go up and down paths to any objects.

East

Celebrities of the east coast are: Kerch, Feodosia, Sudak, Koktebel. The beaches here are mostly sandy, although sometimes the shore is covered with pebbles. Housing prices are affordable, the resort infrastructure is well developed, and the oriental flavor is noticeable. The hills of the east coast contain many ancient secrets. The imagination is alternately struck by hills, bizarre rocks, capes and cozy bays.


Many myths and legends were born here. Among the attractions, the grottoes, capes, and grandiose medieval bastions especially stand out; this is a country of cognacs and champagne wines.

Thematic festivals are also held here: music and historical reconstructions. Another argument is the convenience of the location. It doesn’t matter whether you flew to Simferopol by plane, or went by your own car via the ferry crossing, the eastern side of the peninsula is closest.

The terrain in the East is mixed, there are both plains and hills, but basically the load is always uniform, you simply cannot find such crazy hills as on the south coast. This resort is considered a youth resort.

In the east, beaches with golden sand predominate, there are many campsites and wild places where you can walk along the beach and not cross paths with other vacationers. It is allowed to make fires right on the beach, fry shish kebab, and cook other delicious dishes over a fire. There are many Orthodox shrines in this area.

The Kerch Peninsula has become a full-fledged “gateway to Crimea”; now a resort has begun to actively develop here, especially since the area is rich in mud and balneological resources, including mineral springs, lakes with brine, and therapeutic mud. Kerch is an example of military glory, and also offers its guests unforgettable excursions into the ancient world.

Whichever of the Crimean resorts you choose, you will always find yourself in a heavenly place. A change of scenery, healing air, entertainment, a favorable climate, all this gives health, strength, elation and, of course, happiness!

The incredible beauty of the Crimean coast with picturesque landscapes, the warm Black Sea and a mild climate has long won the hearts of tourists and vacationers who return here again and again.

The best resorts of Crimea allow you to fully improve your health, have fun with water sports, admire the natural beauty and learn about the culture and history of a unique corner of planet Earth. Let's talk about them today!

The best resorts of the Southern Coast of Crimea

The South Coast is usually the first to be remembered when it comes to Crimean vacations. True, its geographical definition is somewhat vague. Sometimes the concept of “South Coast” refers only to the districts and Alushta. But often the southeastern part is also included in it - up to. There is also a problem with identifying the position of Sevastopol - it demarcates the south and west, “according to the mood” the hero city is “attributed” here and there.

Yalta is the clear leader among the resorts of the South Coast, no matter who prepares the rating. The most prestigious and well-developed resort services are located here. At the same time, this also includes nearby resort villages - Miskhor, Gaspra, Foros, Simeiz, Gurzuf, etc. The beaches here are mostly pebble or artificial, but well equipped. There are also many paid territories. Yalta is a most interesting region for excursionists; they strive to see the Nikitsky Botanical Garden, the palaces of Livadia, Alupka, Koreiz, etc. There are many medical institutions of various profiles here. The disadvantage is the high cost - due to the “fashionability”, the resort charges “per brand”.

If we consider the south-eastern coast to be southern, then the second position according to the results of surveys in recent years belongs to - this is the warmest resort town in Crimea, storms are rare here. It is small, but growing rapidly. In it and its surroundings (New World), there are many spacious beaches (coarse sand and pebbles), and there are hotels for every taste. Tourists are attracted by the New World winery, where historical reconstructions are organized.

Alushta combines the advantages of a mountain and coastal resort city. It is better to choose it for tourists who prefer active leisure - walks in the mountains, varied excursions. It’s not too rich in attractions, but it’s convenient to get to any point in Crimea. It has many hotels of different levels. It cannot be called inexpensive, but it is cheaper than Yalta.

Resorts for families with children in Crimea

Ideal resort towns in Crimea for family holidays are located in the west of the peninsula. Absolute leader - . She herself and her surroundings are popular due to the presence of salty healing lakes and the features of the coastline. The sea here is shallow, often the “paddling pools” stretch for tens of meters. Here it becomes safe to swim even for very small children who cannot swim.
The best hotels are located in the area.

Disadvantage: frequent occurrence. But experience shows that children are not afraid of them and are not even averse to hunting them with buckets. Many beaches are already equipped with special jellyfish traps - nets that drive away sea animals.

Due to the natural features of the ZBK, it is generally convenient for a family vacation. If there is no need for sanatorium treatment, you can stay at one of the resort villages - Mezhvodnoye, Chernomorskoye, Steregushchee, Mirny, Olenevka, Peschanoe, Novofedorovka. There are no luxury entertainment venues there, but prices are lower than at popular resorts, there is a lot of space by the sea, and quite a few sandy areas. Their boarding houses and guest houses will provide cozy accommodation without luxury, but with everything you need.

A good option is the resorts of the Azov region. It is shallow and warmer than Black. There are quite a few edges with sand. For spending time with children, Novootradnoe, .

Crimean resorts with sandy beaches

If a holidaymaker needs sand, where a child will enjoy digging and you can sunbathe without a sunbed, go to the west coast. The village with a convincing name, Olenevka, Novofedorovka and Yevpatoria are all regions with extensive beaches, sometimes even with white sand. Near small villages they are distinguished by their vastness and comparative emptiness.
But you have to pay for the space - the multiple recreation areas of the ZBK are wild.

There are excellent civilized areas in Feodosia (, Serebryany). Here they are provided with service, but during the season they can be crowded. However, in terms of quality, Feodosia sand is. On the Azov coast you can also find sandy areas (in Geroevsky, Shchelkino, Arabatka). Swimming here is good, but there is less space and the infrastructure is slightly worse than in the city of Feodosia.

In the Sudak area there are beaches with sand, but it is large and dark in color and can be hot in the heat. You can sunbathe on it on a towel, but building castles is more difficult. Wild edges in the Sudak area are valued for their space, but some of them require quite a long walk along the shore. On the South Coast, pebbles are more common - a sandy surface is found only occasionally. But there are good recreational facilities, including the famous one.

Resorts of Crimea on the Sea of ​​Azov

Crimea is usually perceived as exclusively the Black Sea, but its northeastern shores are washed by. The Azov region is less popular than the Black Sea region,
but it is recommended for families with children. The reason is the rapid and significant heating of shallow water.

The long-awaited summer is getting closer, for most - the holiday season. And we are all probably attracted by the warm salty sea. In recent years, more and more tourists are again choosing Crimean resorts for their holidays. And there are many of them! With a variety of conditions: in Crimea there are mountains and plains, areas with dry and humid air, sandy and pebble beaches, noisy resort towns and quiet small villages...

In our review we will remind you of the most popular holiday destinations in Crimea. There will be excellent options for both a “wild” holiday and a more comfortable one; both for parents with children and for youth groups - choose!

So, first we will go to the southern coast of Crimea. And of course, you need to start with its pearl - the exquisite and interesting Yalta.


Yalta

Actually, Yalta is now the center of an entire resort area, which includes nearby villages, although we will talk specifically about the city. Yalta, dating back to the very beginning of our era, is full of unique historical monuments. Thanks to the unique healing climate and beautiful landscapes, even during the times of Tsarist Russia, it became a famous resort, even a symbol of luxurious holidays, as evidenced by the famous Livadia, Yusupov and Vorontsov palaces located nearby, the Swallow's Nest fortress and others.
Since Yalta is the largest city on the southern coast of Crimea, it has a developed infrastructure: many cafes and restaurants, shops and entertainment centers, a zoo and a water park.

" This is a resort for those who choose comfort and seek to explore the sights. There certainly won’t be a shortage of excursions and hikes in Yalta: it’s not far from the Massandra wine factory, the Uchan-su waterfall, the Nikitsky botanical garden...

At the same time, Yalta is the most expensive Crimean resort, and during the peak season it is very crowded. In addition, the beaches are not very conveniently located, and the descent into the water here is often steep.


Alupka


allkrim.com

A satellite of Yalta, Alupka is a “record holder” for the number of palaces and mansions built on its land about one hundred to two hundred years ago. The most famous of them, of course, is Vorontsovsky. Another pearl of Alupka is the huge Vorontsovsky (Alupkinsky) park, which is already about two hundred years old, and where hundreds of species of trees and shrubs grow.

" Although there is not much entertainment here, in terms of natural beauty Alupka is probably the champion among Crimean resorts. Once upon a time, houses were built right along the mountain paths, and from the steep streets of the city center there is a wonderful view of the coast.

Alupka, like all the satellites of Yalta, is also more of a resort for a comfortable stay.
In addition, Mount Ai-Petri protects the city from the cold wind, the climate here is mild, and there are beaches for every taste. There is a free city beach, there is a “Children’s Baths” beach with clean water, and there is a “Lazurny” beach convenient for car enthusiasts. In addition, you can relax on the “wild” beaches, because the city stretches along the sea for 4 kilometers, and there are many places for swimming.


Gurzuf


photosight.ru

This resort village, located in a cozy bay ten kilometers from Yalta, is distinguished by pebble beaches, unlike most of the surrounding sandy ones. True, you will have to go down quite steep slopes to the sea.
Another characteristic “sign” of it is two rocks protruding from the sea, Adalary, a natural monument.

" And in the center of Gurzuf there is the Genoese rock with the ruins of an ancient fortress - this area has a rich history, both Greeks and Khazars once lived here...

Gurzuf is known for its famous vacationers - Chekhov, Korovin lived here, Mayakovsky, Chaliapin, Repin, Surikov visited. Although now it is a fairly crowded (in season) place - there are many restaurants, shops and clubs - but the nightlife is not particularly active.
Gurzuf is also famous for its underwater world; it is a favorite place for divers. And from here you can climb to the highest point of the peninsula, Mount Roman-Kosh.


Foros


yuzhny-bereg-kryma.ru

The southernmost point of Crimea, the village of Foros is located 40 kilometers from Yalta. Foros is a fairly elite Crimean resort with an interesting seabed, a small pebble beach, fenced with huge rocks.

" Foros became especially famous in August 1991, when President Gorbachev and his family were held here at his dacha. And in the 30s, Gorky lived and worked here (the Soviet government gave the writer a dacha).

However, a relatively inexpensive holiday is also possible here if you are lucky enough to find accommodation in the private sector or a mini-hotel. Foros is famous for its beautiful historical park, founded 200 years ago, with fountains, gazebos, and fancy plants. And also the Foros Church, as if floating above the sea. Near the church, to which a mountain serpentine leads, there is an observation deck with an unforgettable view of the sea.


Simeiz


bestgid.com

Of the resorts on the southern coast of Crimea, Simeiz is perhaps the most democratic - the village mainly develops recreation in the private sector, it is quite calm here, there are no special attractions. Although the proximity to Yalta (18 km) allows easy access to the famous Crimean palaces and parks.

" Simeiz is very beautiful: cypress alleys, steep slopes to the sea, expressive Mount Koshka.

The climate here, as on the entire South Coast, is mild; all beaches are large-pebble. The most famous and beautiful beach is at the Diva rock. Snorkeling equipment can be rented. And next to the wild Blue Bay beach (which, however, is often visited by a nudist crowd) there is a water park.

In general, Simeiz is known as a youth resort: active sports games on the beach, diving, discos make it not the quietest place in the summer season. Prices in shops and restaurants here are quite high.


Alushta


crimea-media.ru

The peculiarity of this resort that makes it very popular is dry, warm and clean air, which is useful primarily for people with lung diseases. Alushta is also protected by a semi-ring of mountains from cold winds; there are a variety of beaches - both sandy and pebble.
There are many boarding houses and hotels, private beaches and cafes - in a word, all the conditions for a comfortable, civilized and inexpensive holiday, although in general the prices here are lower than in neighboring resort towns and villages. In Alushta there is a wonderful terrarium-aquarium, and along the coast you can admire the famous Crimean vineyards.

"And around Alushta there are many natural and historical attractions: Mount Kastel with the remains of an ancient fortress and the Valley of the Ghost, Mount Chatyr-Dag and the Crimean Nature Reserve with beech and pine forests, Bird Islands and the Jur-Jur waterfall...

In short, there is something to see! For those who want to see all the pearls of Crimea at once, an amazing park “Crimea in Miniature” has been created in Alushta - you can feel like Gulliver!

Now we will move from the mountainous, most “civilized” southern coast to the steppe, flat western coast. Its shallow sandy beaches traditionally attract tourists with children. Most of the Crimean sanatoriums are also located here.


Evpatoria


crimeagood.ru

The most “healing” city of Crimea, and one of the oldest - people settled here already in the 6th century BC! Well, in Soviet times, Evpatoria (with its satellite city of Saki) became a center of recreational recreation, especially for children: there are dozens of sanatoriums, water and mud baths. After all, Evpatoria has very warm water, a mild but rather hot climate, long, shallow beaches near the shore (about 14 kilometers).

Now it is still convenient to relax in Evpatoria with children. Prices here are relatively low, there is a lot of entertainment - a dolphinarium, a water park (a real inflatable island), rental stations. Like any fairly large resort city, Evpatoria has a well-developed infrastructure, many shops and cafes, and also hosts concerts of pop stars.

"There is something to see in Evpatoria: you can walk around the ancient Old Town with its narrow streets, or take a ride on a tram. There is a Muslim monastery here, into whose territory tourists are allowed, an Orthodox temple; In general, a variety of faiths coexist in Yevpatoria.

Sevastopol


finwupstreetelectrics.tumblr.com

Although Sevastopol traditionally does not belong to the resorts and generally stands somewhat apart from the Crimean cities, nevertheless, there is a sea, beaches, hotels - which means there are a lot of vacationers! By the way, this is the longest swimming season in Crimea, it lasts from the end of May to the end of October.
Of course, since Sevastopol is a military port, the main base of the Black Sea Fleet, there are many monuments related to its heroic history, for example, the Malakhov Kurgan memorial, the diarama “the assault on Sapun Mountain on May 7, 1944.”

" The most famous military landmark is the panorama of the defense of Sevastopol, dedicated to the war of 1855. And on the last Sunday of July, on Navy Day, a parade of warships takes place here, and an almost real naval battle takes place.

Arriving in Sevastopol, you can’t help but visit the remains of the ancient city of Chersonesos, founded by the Greeks 25 centuries ago! By the way, it was here that the Kiev prince Vladimir was once baptized.
Balaklava Bay is very beautiful, hidden in a secluded strait, always sheltered from the waves, with an embankment and small houses on the slope. And, of course, one of the pearls of Sevastopol is Cape Fiolent with the ancient St. George Monastery “hanging” over the sea.


Nikolaevka


load51.torrent-ports.ru

For those who want to relax in a quieter and more peaceful place, rather than in noisy cities, this steppe resort village is the perfect choice.

" Nikolaevka is popular both among guests of Crimea and among residents of its central part, since it is easy to get here (minibuses run regularly from Simferopol), prices here are low, and the warm sea and sandy beach are no worse than on the entire West Coast.

On Nikolaevka beach there are inflatable slides and jet skis with bananas. On the embankment there are attractions and slot machines. There are discos in the center of the village, so vacationers with children are better off staying closer to the outskirts.
Well, if you want additional entertainment, you can go to the Banana Republic water park, half an hour away - there will be entertainment for every taste and age! And it’s not at all difficult to get to Sevastopol and Yevpatoria, with their attractions, from here.


Popovka


keybamcinatone.tumblr.com

Another small village not far from Evpatoria.

" This is one of the most environmentally friendly places in Crimea, with dry healthy air, minimal precipitation and wonderful beaches, some of the best on the peninsula.

A wide strip of fine white sand, clear water and shallow waters off the coast is a real paradise for families with small children. The swimming season in Popovka is also one of the longest - from mid-May to October.
Popovka, which just a few years ago had neither entertainment nor special amenities, has recently been rapidly developing, new boarding houses are being built, although prices here are still quite affordable. This is a good option for a quiet and budget family vacation.
The entertainment industry is also developing - you can hang glider and ride a horse, go down a water slide or rent a catamaran.

Eastern Crimea is a comparatively less “resort” area than the elite South or the salubrious West. But the water here is usually warmer than on the South Coast, and there’s a lot to see!

Kerch is not only a resort, it is a developed and beautiful port city. The Kerch Peninsula is washed by two seas at once - the Black and Azov, and you can plunge into both in one day! To relax closer to the beach, it is better to live in the suburbs. Quiet, calm sandy beaches, a minimum of noisy bars and discos - an excellent option for families with children. Well, it won’t be a matter of interesting forays; there is something to see in Kerch.

“It was near the eastern part of Crimea that in ancient times many naval battles took place - there is a deep sea, convenient for navigation. Therefore, near every city there are the remains of ancient fortresses of the defenders of the peninsula.

There are even two of them in Kerch: Totlebena and Yeni-kale, and they are located within the city limits - getting to them is not difficult.
You can visit Mount Mithridates, where the Obelisk of Glory is located, go down to the famous Kerch catacombs, and even go to an ostrich farm with your kids.


Feodosia

Another ancient maritime city, founded back in VI. BC. The ruins of fortresses and houses also remind us of its turbulent history. However, Feodosia is primarily a popular resort, with several sand and shell beaches with a total length of about 15 kilometers, very warm water and a developed tourist infrastructure. There are entertainment centers, restaurants, a dolphinarium and an amusement park.

"In addition, in Feodosia there is a famous art gallery and the Aivazovsky house-museum, as well as the Green Museum. Festivals are held, tours of famous artists - in a word, life is in full swing!

In Feodosia you can stay both in the private sector and in campsites, boarding houses and hotels. For those who want a beach holiday, it is better, again, to look for options in the suburbs, closer to the sea. It must be said that prices here are not very high, and, thanks to the attractiveness of Feodosia for different segments of vacationers, the beaches are very crowded during the season.


Zander

The sunniest place in Crimea! There are almost no cloudy days here in the summer. The city is located in a valley, and you can only get to it along a steep mountain serpentine road. Vacationers also have to make small mountain descents to get to the sea - the city slopes steeply down the slope.
Pike perch is a champion in one more thing - only here there are beaches with quartz sand. Beautiful mountain landscapes, more than a hundred species of fish and birds living here, a large beach, a well-preserved Genoese fortress of the 11th century... All this makes small Sudak very attractive for recreation, so during the season (by the way, it is relatively short here, from late June to early September ) it can be crowded here, and the prices are quite high.

The town itself is very green, with cypress alleys and pine parks, unusually clean, pine-sea air. There are many restaurants and shops here, and there is a water park.

" Festivals are held - the most famous are knightly fencing battles, which are held right in the ancient fortress.


New World

This village is a neighbor of Sudak, it is only 5 kilometers away. It gained fame thanks to the champagne production plant founded here by Prince Golitsyn back in the century before last. However, its favorable location in a closed bay, long swimming season and extraordinary picturesqueness made it a popular resort destination.

"The water in the three bays of the village has three different shades, and if you walk along the Golitsyn tourist trail you can look into them...

In a word, its old name “Paradise” (Paradise) speaks volumes.
Around the New World there is a botanical reserve with relict pines and junipers - you can walk and enjoy the healing air. By the way, it was in the New World that the films “Amphibian Man” and “Treasure Island” were once filmed.
This resort is suitable for those who are not looking for entertainment, but want to admire the beautiful nature, improve their health, and... do not save money.


Koktebel

Historically, this is an elegant, even somewhat aristocratic resort: low mountains around a valley gently sloping down to the sea, and below is a small village that has seen many famous writers and artists in the last century.

“Koktebel was a fashionable “dacha” place a hundred years ago: M. Voloshin lived here (and there is his house-museum), and Gorky, A. Tolstoy, Bryusov, Bulgakov visited him...

Today Koktebel is a resort predominantly for youth. Prices here are quite high, although there is a wide selection of accommodation of different levels, from hotels to private rooms.
There are mountains here (the Karadag Nature Reserve) and a steppe nearby; the village stretches along the sea itself, so Koktebel is perfect for lovers of hiking. The beaches here are narrow, but there is a choice between pebble and sand, and for extreme sports enthusiasts there is a special nudist beach nearby. The sea is warm and usually calm.

Although there is not much entertainment in Koktebel - let’s note the opportunities for diving, surfing, gliding, which are traditionally presented here - in the summer it can be very festive here: a number of youth festivals take place, the most famous of them “Jazz Koktebel”. There is also a factory in Koktebel that produces fine wines and cognac, where you can go for a tasting.
