In addition, when traveling with the whole family, it is important to choose what all its members will like. As an option, when staying in Evpatoria, you should definitely take a boat on the route along the coast. While adults can enjoy the surrounding views and pleasant weather, the children will probably have a good time figuring out how the swimming facility works. If the walk will be overnight, then the staff will lead the bored kids to a special cabin equipped with a TV showing cartoons.
In the case when the budget for entertainment is impressive, you can easily charter a yacht and independently create a route that is interesting to all family members.
