Resorts of Crimea: better beach and healing places

Crimea seems to most of our fellow citizens a well-known peninsula. Over the decades of its active development, a variety of resort corners have appeared there. Without deep study, they can’t talk about thorough knowledge of the area.

The very name of Crimea is associated with a relaxing holiday on the coast. To get the expected positive emotions, you need to choose the right sections of the coast. Pebble beaches suit relatively few tourists, but most still prefer to relax on the soft sand. This is more pleasant than watching all the time, where you can get a tan, where you can dive, and where you can’t. because it is advisable to study in advance the list of the best sandy shores of the peninsula and use it when planning a trip.

South of Yevpatoriya, right up to the city of Saki (including it too), there is a string of stunning golden shores. Travelers willingly come here from May until the end of the velvet season. Local beaches are not only beautiful and pleasant, they also have a certain healing effect. Effective communication with highways and railways has been established with the main recreation areas. An attractive feature of this area is the abundance of thoughtful and diverse entertainment.

A long and not delimited into segments strip of sand runs along the coast in the vicinity of the villages of Popovka and Storm. Despite the existence of a separate infrastructure, the total length of the coastal line is 12 km.If you build on the feedback of former vacationers, it turns out that these places justifiably claim a leading position in the whole of Crimea. As for the west coast, the Belyaus Spit stands out there. It is inferior to the Popovka-Shtormovoye site in length (10 km), but not in terms of sand purity.

Spit was named in honor of the ancient settlement of the Scythian era, which was excavated by archaeologists in these places. Chernomorskoye is 20 km from the property. There are always few people on the spit, which allows you to relax and take a break from the noise of the metropolis. Since the width of the land reaches 200 m, it will turn out to arrive by car and pitch tents without problems. And lovers of maximum comfort will be able to find nearby comfortable housing.

On the Azov coast of Crimea, in Shchelkino You can also pick up an amazing area covered with golden sand. No wonder the name appeared "General beaches" - Once, only high-ranking military men could swim and sunbathe here.

Nature in the Shchelkino area is not affected by human activity, and nothing hinders the free overview of the sea. Although the sea is relatively deep, there are no special irregularities at the bottom. Attractive beaches can also be found in the area of ​​Cape Kazantip, its characteristic feature is a calm entrance to the sea with a slight slope.

With all the achievements of modern medicine, mud therapy remains relevant. And according to the concentration of important components, it is Crimean mineral mud that occupies a leading position in the world. It even surpasses the legendary Dead Sea mud.

And only specialists can determine whether a particular patient has contraindications to mud therapy.

Not inferior in the perfection of infrastructure and sanatorium "Russia". It can offer not just elite leisure, but also full-length spa treatment. Experienced specialists in the field of rehabilitation and other medical sciences are involved in the work.

An elite sanatorium can be considered a good alternative to “Russia”. "Pine Grove." It is located in the village of Gaspra, almost directly by the sea. A feature of "Pine Grove" is that the hotel is rapidly developing infrastructure. Some of the rooms contain antique items that were in those same rooms before the First World War. Well, the name of the complex was given due to the presence of a brilliant park on its territory.

It appeals to enough people sanatorium and resort facility "Mriya Resort". It opened on the southern coast of Crimea in 2014. The developers of the complex tried to take into account all the global requirements of hotel services as much as possible.

Simferopol is 120 km from the property. The hotel complex covers over 15 hectares of the park. In addition to the main building, it includes 14 villas and a full range of infrastructure facilities.

Elite Crimean hotels in general have an unusually pleasant atmosphere. Each room is equipped with modern furniture of a comfortable pattern. The staff works exclusively professionally, which makes life more pleasant and comfortable. Since an all-inclusive program is usually envisaged, overpayments for meals can be avoided. Everywhere in hotels of this category a full range of services related to personal hygiene is available. The hotels of the highest category in Crimea differ from the "ordinary" hotels in a wide range of entertainment programs.

Additional options for vacationers are:

• preparation of premises for children;
• transfer services;
• Opportunities for organizing business events of various formats.

Continuing the review of such institutions, you should definitely point to Sudak boarding house "Crimean Spring". There are 3 cottages, set in the most picturesque setting. The administration took care of improving living conditions to the maximum possible. There is a restaurant nearby.

In Big Yalta, another object deserves attention - Ripario Hotel Group. It was once called the “Coastal” boarding house, but the surrounding area of ​​Lower Massandra did not lose its chic appearance. Nearby is the legendary Nikitsky Botanical Garden. The hotel offers several different types of housing at once - both cottages, villas, and “simple” apartments. Additionally provided:

• pebble beach with amazing equipment;

A set of wellness procedures has been prepared, many restaurants, halls work, the hotel has a separate beach.

One could write that affordable vacation in Crimea is completely opposite to the elite version. But this is completely wrong. On the peninsula, it is quite possible to find cheap options for leisure, while their quality is not so bad. Upon closer examination, it turns out that spending time in Crimea is sometimes more profitable and enjoyable than in the region of Sochi.

Places little known to the general public are also likely to fall into the “budget” category. So, on the western bank, the expensive Yevpatoriya is harmoniously complemented by the quite affordable village of Peschanoe. It also created optimal conditions for youth leisure. The capital of the region is 50 km away. It is covered by fixed-route taxis departing every 30 minutes.

The sea in Peschanoye warms up well, sand is also comfortable. The resort is quiet and calm, it is not difficult to find water attractions on it. Fans of ancient cities, historical heritage can enjoy a visit to the Scythian settlement. Romantics stroll along the Alma River. From here they organize excursions to Bakhchisaray, Sevastopol, Yevpatoriya.

Settle in a double room in the hotels Peschanoy get for 1400-1600 rubles. But if they come to rest with a child, then from each such adult they will take from 2000 rubles already. The prices are similar in guest houses.

The village of Nikolaevka is even closer to Simferopol. Here the beaches are covered with soft sand and equipped to the proper level. Visitors to the resort can count on a wide range of water rides. Even a water park is organized.On the territory of the village cafes, bars, restaurants, several nightclubs work stably.

For families with children, a rope park is definitely suitable. Renting a double room in a cottage will cost 2600 rubles. If you use the services of a private hotel, the rate is reduced to 1,500 rubles. Settlers in guest houses must pay 300 rubles, and in private houses you can live for 250 rubles per day.

Extreme sports enthusiasts counting on cheap leisure in Crimea can come to the village of Olenevka. These places are distinguished by an unusually beautiful and fascinating coastline. There are not only sandy beaches, but also cliffs, bays. Divers, surfers and connoisseurs of other varieties of water sports are eagerly rushing here. The nearby Cape Tarkhankut is consistently included in the lists of the most beautiful sites of the Crimea.

A day in Olenevka (when choosing a private hotel with breakfast) will cost at least 1200 rubles. Room in a private boarding house will cost at least 300 rubles. If you choose guest houses or private housing, you can reduce the daily cost to 200 rubles. However, comfortable leisure can be obtained on the eastern coast of the peninsula. A striking example of this are trips to Kerch.

Despite the cost-effectiveness of the proposals, the quality of infrastructure and entertainment in this city is at a decent level. On the Sea of ​​Azov, the village of Shchelkino is rapidly gaining popularity. Its attractiveness is associated with the warm sea and the comfort of the coast. A good alternative is a trip to Kurortnoye, Morskoye or Ordzhonikidze. For a budget holiday, these places are valuable by their proximity to large resorts with well-developed infrastructure.

You can settle here in private housing, paying from 300 rubles a day. Those staying at recreation centers will have to pay at least 500 rubles. And life in a hotel costs at least 800 rubles.

Among these options are worth mentioning. Small Lighthouselocated in the interval from Yalta to Alushta. It is pleasant to visit it, if only thanks to the cleanest sea and equally clean air. The climate also pleases tourists, including those who come with children. Check-in at comfortable hotels is optional, but if you choose a wooden cottage, you can reduce costs to 600 rubles.

Near Alushta deserves attention the village of Solnechnogorsk. Despite the low popularity, in these places quite acceptable infrastructure. Superb beaches are framed by pleasant nature. Private housing rental will cost at least 200 rubles, which is quite a bit by modern standards. Approximately in the same area is the village of Malorechenskoye, characterized by high quality coast.

Concluding the review of Alushta vicinities, it is worth pointing out to the village of Rybachye. The local beach is not only beautiful and pleasant, it is also very large. An attractive feature of these places is the shallow depth of the sea and a weak slope of the bottom. That is why it is recommended to go here with children. Not too demanding vacationers rush to campsites and recreation centers.

Those who are not comfortable with travel conditions can stay in miniature hotels or in the private sector. You can eat in the cafe. But some vacationers prefer to buy food in small bazaars and in stores to cook their own meals.

The lack of special entertainment on site is largely offset by the speed of arrival in Yalta, Alushta, Alupka. In addition to specific destinations, it is important to know other nuances for budget trips to Crimea.

Regardless of the specific season, you will have to refuse offers with meals to save. It’s much cheaper to buy food and cook it yourself. For the same reason, checking into hotels is less profitable than renting real estate in the private sector. It is sometimes useful to book offers 2-3 months before departure. With luck, this reduces costs by 10-20% compared with booking rooms "on the way to the station."

If tourists want to enjoy not the most expensive and not the cheapest, but the most popular resorts of Crimea, then they should keep in mind 10 optimal options. No doubt leading position is Yalta. Yes, in this city rest is expensive and it is noisy. But all this cannot cross out objective merits. Those who come to Yalta must definitely try the red catch of fresh catch. After that, you can enjoy a walk along the promenade. A rare tourist does not have a photograph after departure against the background of the Swallow’s Nest castle.

In second place in the ranking of the main resorts of Crimea Sevastopol “Unapproachable to enemies”, as the old song says, the city has a completely unusual atmosphere. Even those who do not value the military-historical component of recreation too highly will be delighted with:

• old fortresses;
• magnificent museums;
• graceful bays.

For coming with children, Theodosius is definitely recommended. In addition to the mild climate, this place is appreciated for its high quality air. Visitors to the resort can count on an extensive educational program, starting from the abundance of ancient monuments. Art lovers will be delighted to visit the Aivazovsky Gallery. She occupies a house once used by the artist himself.

No worse is leisure in Alushta. Not without reason, from the end of the century before last, holidaymakers began to come here actively. Coniferous trees, growing in abundance at some distance from the coast, fill the air with valuable volatile products. This reduces the severity of many diseases.

But Yevpatoria causes conflicting impressions. At first, for acquaintances already with Alushta and Yalta, it seems to be the center of silence and tranquility. But the long history of the city completely compensates for this moment. Yes, and lovers of beach activities will surely enjoy the long sandy beaches. They are invariably pure and attractive.

However, tourists traveling to Kerch will not be disappointed either. In this city you can swim alternately in the Azov and Black Seas. Kerch waters are appreciated by lovers of sailing passages and those who prefer excursions to ancient monuments.

Sudak is a more modern city where many popular films were filmed. Filmmakers have long appreciated the beauty of these places, tourists too, but they also pay attention to the abundance of attractions and cafes.

Bakhchisaray, praised by the legendary Pushkin, in the 21st century lost the brilliant pathos of the capital of the Crimean khans. The private sector prevails here. Every morning, those who settled in it slowly sip Turkish coffee and tea on the street verandas. Hot drinks are very well complemented by sweets made at home. And most of the day will be devoted to visiting the remains of the palace.

For youth leisure recommend visiting Koktebel. It is always noisy and fun. Travelers can enjoy water skiing and windsurfing. Some tourists fly into the sky on hang gliders and paragliders, plunge under water.The abundance of nightlife harmoniously fits into the resort ensemble.

Koktebel shores are clean, and the water in the sea also does not disappoint even the most picky vacationers. But lovers of the delicate taste of wine are actively going to the New World. In the same village, divers also gather.
