Where is the best holiday in Crimea

No one can tell you where the best holiday is in Crimea, because there are so many people and so many opinions, but it is possible to have an idea of ​​where and what is there.

So, Crimea itself is not only conventionally divided into northern, western, eastern, southern, central and Crimean coasts on the Sea of ​​Azov, but also steppe, mountainous, and coastal.

Crimea offers different types of recreation and recreation. For example, beach, historical and educational holidays in Crimea, excursion and business tours, etc. A special part is occupied by health tourism and rehabilitation.

Types of resorts where it is better to go to Crimea for a fun holiday

Now it is important to know and remember what types of resorts exist, because this is of particular importance for those who go on vacation to the Crimea. One of these types is balneological, the effectiveness of which is due to the healing content of various microelements in mineral water, the exact composition and amount of which depends on the specific mineral water deposit. Among the main types of resorts, this is the most popular. A good example of this is the southern coast of Crimea: Alushta and Yalta, Foros and Gurzuf, Evpatoria.

Another type of Crimean resorts is mud therapy, offering treatment on estuaries, where the concentration of salts is higher than in the sea, so the therapeutic effect is much stronger. Undoubtedly, Saki, Evpatoria, Feodosia are best suited here. A special role is played by the climatic resorts of the Crimea, the effect of which is based on the healing effect of natural factors on vacationers. This means that it is already enough to be in such a healing place, for example, Alushta, just to walk and breathe the air, and this will already be enough for natural healing to take place. Here you can recommend for the best vacation spots in Crimea: Yalta, Alupka, Gurzuf, and of course, Alushta. Where to go on vacation in Crimea? It's up to you to decide!

Those who are traveling to Crimea specifically for recovery should remember that July-August is not the most favorable months for treatment and rehabilitation.

Therefore, it is best, if possible, to postpone such a vacation to September - October. This is not only more reliable and safer for your well-being, but also more comfortable and cheaper. And in this case, a holiday in Saki is a very good option. Almost everything is the same as in Yevpatoria, only people go there, first of all, for treatment. Here the nature is very ordinary and there are almost no attractions, but the main advantage is the mud treatment.

The combination of sea, steppe and mountain air, 270 sunny days a year, a long swimming season - this is what makes Crimea one of the best climatological resorts in the world. At the same time, the cost of rest is quite affordable for many Russian families, since it is not tied to the dollar exchange rate.

In recent years, more and more tourists are again choosing Crimean resorts for their holidays. And there are many of them!

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.

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

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.

Evpatoria

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.

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.

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.

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

crimee.com.ua

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.

Koktebel

red43.ru

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.
