The city of Dzhankoy (Crimea) is a small and cozy settlement located near Simferopol. Despite its small area, it is an important railway junction, as it is the first to meet all tourists arriving on the peninsula. Translated from the Crimean Tatar dialect, its name means “sweet village”. The first mentions of this city in chronicles were made back in the eighteenth century.
Historical facts
Dzhankoy (Crimea) has a very rich past associated with the activities of Jewish communities on its territory. At the beginning of the twentieth century, a Zionist organization was founded here, as well as a training center for agricultural work. A little later, not far from the Kolay station, an agricultural commune of Jews was organized, and ten years later it was turned into a collective farm. During the Second World War, this community was destroyed.
Nowadays, the city of Dzhankoy (Crimea) is one of the largest centers for the processing of agricultural products and the production of related equipment.
Description
This regional center is located ten kilometers west of the inlet called Sivash and is under republican subordination. Local residents call this city the “Gateway of Crimea”, as vacationers heading further to the peninsula often stop there.
One canal runs through the entire territory of the regional center, and two rivers also flow. Therefore, Dzhankoy (Crimea) is well supplied with fresh water, which cannot be said about other settlements of the peninsula.
Its area is approximately 26 square kilometers of the North Crimean Plain, so the topography of this area does not have large hills or drops.
Natural conditions
This Crimean city has a typical steppe climate. It is characterized by dry and moderately hot weather. Dzhankoy (Crimea) is surrounded by large hills, so it is protected from cold winds. Approximately 420 millimeters of precipitation falls annually.
The average summer temperature is about +24 degrees Celsius. Winter here is always mild and practically without snow. In January, the thermometer can drop to a maximum of -2 below zero. Thanks to the proximity of the inlet, the air in this city is endowed with healing properties and contains useful microelements.
Rest
Dzhankoy (Crimea) is located far from the sea coast, so, unfortunately, it cannot boast of sandy beaches. But this city, of course, also has its own interesting sides that attract streams of tourists.
For example, many people like the nature of this place, which has amazing picturesque landscapes. In the vicinity of the city there is a regional nature reserve. Its area is about twelve thousand hectares, and the inhabitants of this landscape park are more than a hundred species of various birds.
Dzhankoy (Crimea) has another big advantage over other cities of the peninsula. Holidays in this locality will take place in a pleasant atmosphere without unnecessary fuss, due to the absence of a large number of tourists. This place is ideal for those who want to spend their vacation or weekend in peace and quiet.
Things to do?
In this city there is a Museum of Local Lore with a variety of exhibits that can tell a lot of interesting things about the history of these places. If we talk about architectural monuments, then, of course, it is worth visiting the railway station after a recent major renovation and a small but beautiful mosque.
You can’t come on vacation to Dzhankoy without tasting local wines. These alcoholic drinks are made here according to special recipes that have been preserved since ancient times. In addition, in the regional center there are many restaurants and cafes offering their visitors to get acquainted with the dishes of amazing Crimean Tatar cuisine. This city also grows a large number of fruits and vegetables that contain beneficial vitamins.
Nightlife lovers can find a variety of clubs, bars and discos in the city. Also in Dzhankoy there is a cinema, a stadium, saunas and baths.
Local travel agencies can organize excursion tours to any point in Crimea. If you still want to plunge into the gentle sea waters, you can drive about a hundred kilometers and get to Beregovo or Nikolaevka. The shores of these settlements are ideal for families with children, as there are all kinds of entertainment and attractions.
Housing in the city
Tourists mostly stay here for a short time, and sometimes just stay for one or two nights. Therefore, the private sector is not offered for rent here. But the city has several excellent and inexpensive hotels where you can have a great rest. The most popular of them are: “Karpaty”, “Chocolate”, “Tsarskoe Podvorye” and “Tavria”.
The easiest way to get here from Russia is by train. Trains from St. Petersburg, Moscow, Perm and other large Russian cities follow there. Then from this settlement you can get to any point since it is the crossroads of all the main railways and highways of the Republic.
Very beautiful places - Crimea, Dzhankoy. Photos of tourists taken in this area only confirm that there is stunning nature, amazing scenery and an excellent climate. Everyone who was lucky enough to visit there was very pleased with the relaxation and hospitality of the local residents.

Also a place on the project and
Many tourists have never even heard of such a small but very important town for the Crimean Peninsula, whose name translates as “sweet village”. No wonder. After all, there is no sea coast with gorgeous beaches. In fact, this settlement only developed during the construction of an important railway.
This is a cosmopolitan town inhabited by almost 40 thousand inhabitants. There are no high-rise buildings here, but there are very picturesque landscapes. This place is ideal for relaxing away from the noisy crowd. In Dzhankoy you can spend a relaxing time basking in the hot sun from May to September. Although the town is located only 93 km from Simferopol, the prices for rental housing and services will pleasantly surprise travelers.
The recently renovated premises now meet all the requirements of a modern station. In addition, the exterior decoration looks very beautiful.
The construction of the cathedral building began in 1990, 81 years after the first church in honor of the icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Tikhvin was built in this village. The old building is no longer there, as it was destroyed immediately after the revolution.
Nowadays, services are held within the walls of the cathedral, and events are held for Sunday school students. From here you can go on an organized trip to interesting places in Crimea.
Location: Rue Luxembourg - 33.
Perhaps the most popular place among travelers. You can get to it along a narrow path or along a road that leads to a slight descent. Now only 5 people live on the territory of the monastery: the abbot and the monks. It is open to visitors, but you should first ask permission from the inhabitants of this place.
This building is unusual in that a cave was once accidentally found inside. Excavations have shown that it contains the remains of the ancient inhabitants who lived in these places.
Location: .
The building is located on Lenin Street, 23. Visits are possible four days a week (except Monday, Tuesday and Friday) from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Break from 13 to 15.
Among the exhibits there are many interesting archaeological finds, since this area has a very rich history. Many different peoples lived on the territory of Dzhankoy with their own culture and way of life.
It also presents photographs and documents from the time the construction of the railway that connected Lozovo and Sevastopol began.
Location: K. Marks street - 9.
It owes its appearance to the construction of communication routes and the workers who lived in the barracks on this site. It was Crimean Street that became the first in the city. Now there are many small cozy cafes and restaurants next to it (Karat, Lakomka, Dzhankoy, Zebra, Asia and others).
Travelers who do not want to live in the private sector are given the opportunity to stay in a hotel with such a great name. It is located on Krymskaya Street. From the outside the building looks very modern, although the interior does not really correspond to the concept of “royal”. It is not possible to book a room in advance, since this establishment does not have a website. But there are probably free rooms here at any time.
Location: Krymskaya street - 33.
There are no special memorial buildings, but the place itself is ideal for a relaxing holiday in the shade of trees. Local residents say that in one of the parts of the park, before the 1917 revolution, there was the very first church of this settlement. Now there is a dance floor and various events are held regularly.
This place will be a very pleasant walk for those who want to see quite rare representatives of more than 100 species of birds. Unusual flora typical of the steppe also grows here. Migratory birds also often find shelter in this park-reserve. Visitors will enjoy clean air and the absence of city noise. Beautiful scenery and birdsong contribute to relaxation.
Anyone can visit this natural attraction and experience the healing effect of radon-enriched water. Access to the source is absolutely free, despite the fact that it is located on the territory of the boarding house.
Mineral water, enriched with minerals, alleviates the condition of sore joints and the spine. However, before the trip, it is necessary to undergo a series of tests, based on the results of which the doctor will issue permission for health procedures.
Water containing radon from the source flows into three pools. The temperature in the first is about 70°C, which not all vacationers can withstand. Therefore, most visitors gather in the third artificial reservoir.
No matter how well a person feels during the procedure, one must remember that one cannot stay there for more than a quarter of an hour. The hot water of the spring has too strong an effect on the circulatory system.
Due to the fact that there are many Muslims among the population, this religious institution is simply necessary. Externally, it is an unremarkable small one-story white house. Services are regularly held here and various holidays are celebrated. During the summer holidays, a summer camp for children is organized at the mosque to teach the basics of the Muslim faith.
Location: Sovkhoznaya street.
Dzhankoy was not spared by the Second World War. Many brave soldiers fought and died for the independence of this small southern town. That's why there are so many monuments in their honor. For example, the invaluable contribution of tank crews is immortalized in the form of the IS-3 tank, which is located on a special pedestal on Oktyabrskaya Street.
Gratitude to the pilots-liberators of Dzhankoy and the entire Crimean Peninsula is expressed in the monument, which stands on the highway leading from Simferopol to Moscow.
You can also honor the memory of war heroes by visiting mass graves in the city cemetery.
Another sad page in the history of Dzhankoy is the fact that during the occupation by the fascist invaders, a concentration camp was located here in the area of the cannery. In memory of him, a very expressive monument “Remember the Living!” was erected.
Location: Tank - M.V. street Oktyabrskaya
Dzhankoy is a great city for a relaxing and inexpensive holiday with the whole family. It is located close to all major resorts, so you can book a bus tour to the coast at any time.
Dzhankoy is one of the first cities that warmly welcomes all guests of Crimea. It is located in the north of the peninsula, in the steppe zone. Its area is almost twenty-six square kilometers. In this territory, the first settlements date back to the 4th millennium BC. e. Tools typical of the Neolithic, Copper, and Late Bronze Ages were found here. There is evidence of the life of the Scythians, the life of people in the Middle Ages.
In documents from 1855 there is a written mention that Dzhankoy means “sweet village” in Turkic. No one has yet come up with a better and more accurate description.
Panorama of the city. Photo by napalme (http://www.panoramio.com/user/120356)
Significant in the history of the then village was the construction of the Lozovo-Sevastopol railway. Russian builders began to settle in the city. The first street, Krymskaya, was formed from their houses. Successfully existing at the moment.
With the development of the railway station, the standard of living and activity of the population increased. So, in June 1917, Dzhankoy was officially given the status of a city.
Dzhankoy survived the First World War. Survived famine, occupation, bombing during the Great Patriotic War. Afterwards, it was reconstructed by active forces. Factories, schools, and kindergartens started working. The railway was restored. Dzhankoy remains a city of important messages even today. It is the central railway station of northern Crimea. The Kharkov-Sevastopol highway passes through it. The construction of the North Crimean Canal was beneficial for the area.
Climate and ecology of Dzhankoy. It’s warm and nice, although it does blow sometimes!
Dzhankoy is a real warm place. It has no resort or tourist facilities. But the climate is not satisfactory. Summer pleases with its warmth and duration. As for the weather variability, it’s never boring here. In the spring and autumn seasons, in one day, rain and sun can replace each other several times. A common occurrence: pedestrians enjoying the beautiful weather may encounter a soaking wet cyclist who has come literally from the next street. And he is already offended, not from the fact that he got caught in the rain, but from the perplexed glances of passers-by.

The expression: “You can’t ask for snow in winter” perfectly describes the cold period. Winter has little snow, and the city is somewhat gray at this time. This looks especially sad during the New Year holidays. But there are surprises here too. Sometimes frost likes to hit you and sprinkle snow. So much so that it doesn’t seem to be in Crimea at all. The weather is affected by the wind. Its significance is dictated by its steppe location. At minus ten, the wind simply pierces, and it feels like minus thirty.
The Stepnaya River passes through the city. Once upon a time it delighted residents with its cleanliness and freshness. Thanks to the pre-existing Cannery. He filled the city not only with his products, but also with the undesirable consequences of his activities - waste. The result did not take long to arrive.
The second cause of pollution is the lovely inhabitants. Their mentality allows them to throw garbage and other household items directly into the river. Apparently, a trash can is trivial! Utilities clean the river periodically. But the green color of the water and the smell scream about its unfavorable condition.
Friendly multinational population of Dzhankoy
At the beginning of 2014, the city's population was 35,700 people. An exceptional quality of the Dzhankoy people is friendliness. Thus, several nationalities live together in the territory. Russians predominate in the majority - almost sixty percent. Ukrainians are about thirty percent, Crimean Tatars - about nine. Poles, Armenians, Moldovans and Belarusians coexist peacefully with them. Almost 13,000 people are elderly people who have deservedly retired.
Migration processes are of great importance. As a rule, the younger generation leaves for the purpose of education. The outflow of the working-age population is due to unemployment. Thus, over the course of five years, the population has been decreasing every year, by an average of five hundred people. According to the latest data, the age composition of Dzhankoy looks something like this:
- citizens from 0 to 14 years old - 15%;
- from 15 to 24 years old - 15%;
- from 25 to 44 years old - 30%;
- from 45 to 60 years - 20%;
- over 60 years - 20%.
At this stage, the level of complete higher education of the city's population is 14%, which is lower than the national level. The situation with complete secondary education is better; the level exceeds the national level by almost 4%. Slightly above 30% are people who have undergone professional training, including technical ones. They have working professions.
Districts and real estate, or housing for everyone in seven districts!
The area of the city speaks volumes about its size. If you wish, you can travel around all the streets in one day by car. Historically, or rather according to popular understanding, the city is divided into seven districts.
District "Melioration"
It received its name due to the presence of the School of Reclamation. The area contains mainly five-story buildings, a number of which face the Moscow highway. The Kerch automobile bridge is located nearby, and railway tracks pass under it. There is a kindergarten and grocery stores in this area. Things are a little worse with school. The closest one is located in the neighboring area. The cost of a three-room apartment is in the range of 18,000.00-25,000.00 USD.
Living in this area is favorable for families with children. The houses are located so that they form closed courtyards. Moreover, they still have playgrounds. In general, all conditions have been created for safe walks with your child. “Melioration” is not suitable for nightlife lovers; there are no bars or restaurants on the territory. There is also a problem with enterprises. To visit entertainment venues, and work organizations too, you have to go to other areas.
Cannery area
Previously, there was a factory on the territory. Hence the name. This section of the city is represented by two types of buildings. It consists of five-story buildings, known in the world as “Khrushchev” buildings, and a private sector. There is a kindergarten and a school, several shops. The cost of a private house without additional land is approximately 20,000.00 USD. Three-room apartment - 25,000.00 USD
The main advantage of the area is the close location of the railway station. At the same time, lovers of silence will not like living here due to the noise of passing trains and freight trains. There is no entertainment infrastructure in this area. The peace in the private sector is disturbed only by the operation of the wholesale market. And then, residents of the area blocked the passage to it with a barrier.
For car owners, it is noteworthy that there is paid parking for vehicles and a large number of garages for rent. There are no problems with purchasing a garage; the situation is worse with access to it. Roads in the private sector are in poor condition.
Industrial area
Located in a remote part of the city. The main street is Promyshlennaya. The Machine-Building Plant and Vodopribor are located on it. There are fewer residential buildings in this area than in the central parts of Dzhankoy. Offices of distribution companies and warehouses predominate. This is due to the lower cost of real estate and its rental. A one-room apartment will cost approximately 6,000.00 USD. e.
In general, affordable housing prices are the main advantage of the area. And so, this is the most remote area from the center. The roads are in poor condition. Transport is rare. All trips to the city should be planned in advance and combined with the bus schedule.
Area "Beyond the Line"
The "line" refers to the railroad track that separates the area from the rest of the city. Mostly private houses are located here. They are quite spread out in area.
To ensure the standard of living, there are two schools, and shops are scattered throughout the perimeter. When purchasing housing here, you need to pay attention to one detail. At the end of the area there is an old cemetery. This may come as an unpleasant surprise. You can get “behind the line” through a transition bridge rising above the railway.
The area is designed for quiet living. There are no places for rest here. During the daytime there is no busy traffic, and on some streets there are no pedestrians. But towards evening you can already notice a cluster of tasters of various alcoholic beverages in the area called “Farewell”. These meetings are not violent.
The area is provided with public transport. You can get to the center and the district hospital, which, in principle, is located closer to this area than to the city itself. The cost of private houses depends on the condition of the buildings. On average it is 15,000.00-20,000.00 USD. e.
"Military City"
Compared to other areas, this one occupies the smallest area. Previously, this was the territory of a military unit. After its disbandment, the residential sector became a regular one, with two-story and five-story buildings located on it.
Some apartments are “Stalin-style”. In general, if you buy an apartment in Dzhankoy with large square footage and high ceilings, then only here. Plus, there is a gymnasium nearby, there are bars, a restaurant, shops and close to the center. The cost of a three-room apartment in this part of the city starts from 25,000.00 USD. up to 40,000.00 USD
A cozy area with a closed area, typical for all former military units. The small area even has its own stadium and beauty salon. The situation is calm, only the residents of the area are visible. There are no businesses here. Two bars are quite capable of serving everyone who wants to relax. And residents and guests of the city come to relax at the “Chocolate” restaurant located on the “Military Town” site.
The disadvantages of the area include the close location of the airfield and the highway. But this can cause discomfort to residents of individual houses.
"Carleut"
One part is the private sector - which has existed for quite a long time. The second part consists of five-story buildings with a more recent history. The area quickly became upset. And now it has its own school, kindergarten, and supermarkets.
Carleut area. Photo by Leonid Dudko
There is also a shopping center "Karpaty" - it is located on the highway, its activities are designed for passing tourists. But in the evening, small cafes and kebab shops welcome local residents. The average price for three-room apartments is 22,000.00 USD.
In general, this is a self-sufficient part of the city. The activity of the main part of the population is trade. But it is seasonal, as it is designed for passing tourists. In summer, the part adjacent to the highway is busy, accompanied by an active flow of traffic. The result is dustiness. The condition of central roads is satisfactory. Safe traffic is also provided; travel is limited in the area of the 8th school and the boarding school. The only drawback is the distance from the center. But this is compensated by the high frequency of buses.
The name itself speaks for itself. This is the central part of the city. All government and government offices are concentrated here. There is also a central market. It is adjacent to a city park. Behind it, the Intercession Cathedral rises in its majestic beauty. All public events and concerts take place in the area in front of the city executive committee and on Lenin Square. From this part of the city it is easy to reach the suburban and railway stations. Real estate prices in this area are higher; a three-room apartment costs approximately 45,000.00 USD.
This is the safest and cleanest area of the city. Living there is considered prestigious. Since there is everything you need here, from existing enterprises to developed infrastructure. Disadvantages include excessive noise on holidays due to concerts or fairs. Also, sometimes the cost of real estate is unfairly inflated.
City infrastructure, or You can live, but how to walk on the sidewalks?
All parts of the city are connected by bus transport. The routes are well laid out and you can get to all areas. The interval of the popular route - bus number 3 is approximately twenty minutes. To remote parts of Dzhankoy, for example, to Promyshlennaya Street, once an hour. Each bus has two preferential seats for pensioners and disabled people. If they are busy, you have to wait for the next minibus.
The main advantage of Dzhankoy is the opportunity to travel to any part of Crimea. And do it with convenient transport. There is a station for traveling by commuter trains and commuter trains. From the train station you can take a fast train. Here, on the station square, there is a bus station. Transport runs not only in the Dzhankoy region, but also serves as connections with other Crimean cities. For example, a minibus goes to Simferopol once an hour, sometimes more often.
The road surfaces in the city on the central streets are in good condition. Repair work is carried out in a timely manner.
But as soon as you turn onto an ordinary street, complete disappointment sets in. And not only for the car enthusiast. During the rainy season, it can be difficult for pedestrians to walk through. But if road repairs are at least partially carried out, then the sidewalks are simply a disaster. Even on central streets there are areas broken and damaged by tree roots.
Certain utilities work interestingly. Some structures have been transferred to private business. If problems arise, for example, with the elimination of old trees, then you have to run around to offices so that the service is provided free of charge. But there are no complaints about this same service regarding garbage collection. Pickup is always on time. Energy, water and gas supply services respond quickly in case of breakdowns.
The cost of utilities is approximately as follows:
- 1 cubic m³ gas - 0.10 cu. e.;
- 1 kilowatt of electricity - 0.05 cu. e.;
- 1 cubic m³ of water - 1.00 USD. e.;
- garbage removal in the private sector - 0.90 USD. i.e. per person.
Dzhankoy is sufficiently provided with educational institutions. There are eight kindergartens for preschool education. There are eight schools. This is even more than necessary. Among them is school-gymnasium No. 6. There is also one for evening education and music. You can get secondary vocational education at school No. 45. To study at higher or technical educational institutions, you should go to the capital of Crimea - Simferopol. It is only ninety-three kilometers away.
The upbringing and education of orphans is provided by the sanatorium boarding school of grades 1-3. For the development of Dzhankoy schoolchildren there are: “Children’s Youth Sports School”, “Training and Production Plant”, “Station of Young Technicians” and other centers. The doors of libraries and the gates of the Avangard stadium are always open.
Enterprises and work in Dzhankoy, or If not the railway, then distribution!
The economic level of the city was greatly influenced by the closure of: the Cannery, Meat Processing Plant, Food Processing Plant, Mezhraibaza, Winery and many other enterprises. Interestingly, the Cannery could not exist in a modern city. Although it survived during the Second World War and before it. There used to be a wool processing plant here.
At this stage, more than 800 Dzhankoy residents work on the railway. This is the station itself, the carriage and locomotive depot, and other structural components. The average wage of a worker is 300.00 USD.
Also, jobs were provided at JSC Dzhankoy Elevator. The company is engaged in grain cleaning and drying, production and sale of feed and flour. Purchase and storage of sunflower seeds, sale of sunflower oil.

There are a Dairy Factory, a Bakery Factory, and Vodopribor and Reinforced Concrete Products factories. The workshops of the Machine-Building Plant are partially operational.
All government agencies, public utilities, banks and pharmacies operate in the city. There are many grocery stores, and there are supermarkets selling household appliances. A large number of private entrepreneurs have patents to trade in the central market. In addition to clothing and food, residents sell agricultural products grown there themselves. In principle, the market bears the characteristic name “Collective Farm”.
It is difficult for the younger generation to find work in the city due to the lack of jobs. Wholesale distribution companies engaged in the sale of various products are constantly in need of personnel. But of the number presented, only a few can offer a full social package. Mostly sales representatives are required, but this work cannot be called long-term. There is an age limit, thirty-five years is the limit. And career growth in this area is problematic.
Criminal situation, or Swear, but don't kill!
The criminal situation in Dzhankoy is tolerable. Often local newspapers are full of similar headlines: “A hungry resident tried to open a meat stall with a crowbar,” “A sick man robbed a pharmacy,” “A woman robbed a lonely old man.” Many crimes are associated with the distribution of marijuana and other similar substances. A certain percentage consists of road traffic accidents and domestic crimes.
Of course, resonant events took place in the history of the city. One of which was the murder of a children's doctor. A sixty-year-old woman was returning home in the evening through the park. And on the way, her attention was attracted by the conversation of two men, loudly swearing, using obscene language. Due to her upbringing, she made a remark. The reaction was unpredictable. She was stabbed and died as a result. A terrible tragedy shook the city. So, an excellent doctor, a woman who brings kindness and love to children, helping people, became the victim of two tramps, drugged by alcohol.
Sights and leisure, or Dzhankoy people in “Chocolate”
The railway station is inextricably linked with the history of the city's formation. Its building is one of the main objects. It is given the role of a landmark. The station has always been looked after and looked after, and recently a reconstruction was carried out. Residents greeted this event with delight. At the moment, only the lazy don’t have a photo with a railway station in the background.

The main attractions of Dzhankoy are monuments dedicated to the events of the Great Patriotic War. During that period, residents fought courageously on the fronts and in partisan detachments. The civilian population fought for existence in German captivity. In honor of these people and the soldiers who liberated the city, monuments were erected:
- To the liberators, tank warriors;
- To warrior-aviators;
- Statue at the site of the mass death of partisans and Soviet citizens.

Dzhankoy residents treat these military monuments with special trepidation. Once read, the appeal on the memorial plaque of the monument remains forever in the hearts of residents and guests of the city: “Live, remember! “They gave their lives for your happiness in 1941-1945.”
On the territory of the city park there is a monument dedicated to the soldiers who fought in Afghanistan. Following the classic example of all cities, there is a monument to V.I. Lenin. There is a local history museum in Dzhankoy. The Culture and Leisure Center is located on the same street. You can go for a walk with your children in the park. Also, young mothers often gather in the center near the fountain. There are hotels in the city for visitors. They are located near the railway station and in the Karpaty shopping center.
In the evening, bars and cafes welcome guests and residents of the city. Two restaurants stand out from the crowd: “Dzhankoy” and “Chocolate”. The latter is especially popular. The “Chocolate” building is located in a military town and combines two establishments: a nightclub and a restaurant. Connoisseurs of a relaxed atmosphere and fine cuisine will prefer to relax in a restaurant. And for those who like to have a blast, the doors of the club are open.
You can have a pleasant time at the Tsarskoye Podvorye cafe. In addition to excellent cuisine and warm hospitality, you can enjoy a harmonious environment. A special feature of the establishment is the interior, which is designed in white colors.
Guests are always welcome at Lakomka; the cafe-bar is distinguished not only by its friendly atmosphere and delicious cuisine, but also by its affordable prices.
At the final stage of construction, one might say, on the verge of opening, there are: a 3D cinema and the Terminal complex. City residents hope for the development of not only entertainment infrastructure, but also the opening of new enterprises to create jobs. Only the best is ahead! Optimism, a philosophical outlook and an endless sense of humor are the main companions of the Dzhankoy people!
The Black Sea, wonderful climate, amazing nature - all this can be found in Crimea. There are many places on this wonderful peninsula where you can have a great time. Tourists often choose the southern coast of Crimea, but its northern part is no less interesting. This article will be devoted to a small but very cozy and hospitable town under the cute name Dzhankoy.

The history of Dzhankoy has deep roots in the past, although it became a populated area only a hundred years ago. A small village was created near a water source. Unfortunately, the well has not survived to this day. Initially, the settlement consisted of small houses - dugouts. There were only 20 of them. The settlement belonged to the Tauride province.
Initially, Dzhankoy was not even on the map of the peninsula, but the villages located on this territory were displayed. At that time, many settlements were called Dzhankoy. And all because when translated into Russian this word means “nice village”.
Dzhankoy in the 19th century
In the 19th century, Dzhankoy was considered a Tatar settlement. But since then, almost all the Tatars from these places moved to Turkey. The village was almost completely deserted. The Germans came to replace the Tatars. On these lands they were engaged in agriculture. Later, Dzhankoy (Crimea) began to grow rapidly. The impetus for this was the construction of the railway track. All construction work had to be done manually, which required a large workforce. People lived near the road. Thus, the first street appeared - Krymskaya, which still exists today. The road took three years to build. After the launch of the first freight car, Dzhankoy (Crimea) turned into a strategically important area of the entire peninsula. The number of people in the village grew rapidly, the infrastructure developed rapidly.
Dzhankoy turns into a city
The beginning of the 20th century for Dzhankoy was marked by a change in status. From a small village it turned into an urban settlement. At that time, more than 1000 people lived on its territory. Schools were opened, temples and mosques were built. Local residents built a gymnasium on their own. Later Dzhankoy (Crimea) became a city. Immigrants from Russia and Ukraine made up the bulk of the population.
By 1925, there were 25 schools, a hospital, a kindergarten, a library and a laboratory in Dzhankoy. New streets were constantly appearing and houses were being built. People were actively engaged in farming and organized collective farms. Jews made a huge contribution to the development of agriculture. A Jewish commune was organized near the railway station, which was later transformed into a collective farm.
The war left its destructive mark on Dzhankoy. The railway was destroyed, as were most businesses. There is practically no one left from the former population. The collective farms were almost completely destroyed, and the workers were shot. The remaining population actively rebuilt the city. New educational institutions, enterprises and hospitals opened, and agricultural activities resumed. Despite the fact that Dzhankoy is a young city, its history has significantly influenced the development of the entire Crimea. Today it is the main transport hub of the peninsula.
