Features of rest in the Park in Crimea

The Peninsula of Crimea since 2014, thanks to joining Russia, has become a popular resort point. Tourists actively visit this place, famous for its beautiful and diverse nature, developed infrastructure, historical places and diverse beaches. Despite several major resort cities (Feodosia, Yalta, Alushta, Yevpatoriya), experienced tourists are more likely to choose nearby villages and urban-type settlements, which makes it possible to save money and get acquainted with the sights hidden from the eyes of most tourists. One of such places is the urban-type settlement Parkovoe.

The village is located on the southern coast of the Republic of Crimea and is divided into two parts, passing highway Sevastopol-Yalta. Its northern part has preserved the ancient settlement, and the lower one has turned into a resort point adjacent to the sea. The place itself is located at an altitude of about 330 meters above sea level, with a length of 145 hectares.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the land in this area belonged to the merchant Rasteryaev, who was originally from St. Petersburg. Later, he divided these lands into 3 parts and sold them. The part, which is now called the village of Parkovoe, was acquired by the artist J. V Zhukovsky, who built a manor with a beautiful park on this territory.

At the estate, a park was built, occupying a site of 6 hectares, were exhibited sculptures of Matveev. Prior to World War II, the park was decorated with 8 famous sculptures, but after the war most of them were completely or partially destroyed.Some fragments fell into the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, many of them were restored, and the sculptor's pupils recreated the completely lost ones. Today on the estate there are pensions and motels.

Nature on the southern side of the peninsula is rich in rich green tint, riot of greenery, cypress trees enriching the air with useful oxygen. White cliffs are located around the perimeter of the village, the climate is gentle, and the water is warm enough since June. The air temperature in the summer is at around +30 degrees and above. There are some notes of the subtropical climate, the humidity in the Park is moderate.

The village is located between two large resort cities: Feodosia and Yalta. The distance between the village and Feodosia is only 10 kilometers, and to Yalta 30.

There are two ways to get to the village from the Airport.

• By minibus, tickets to which can be bought only in new terminals. They are located at the airport itself, but a ticket to Yalta on such transport will cost about 500 rubles.

The village can also be reached by taxi. You can save a little by ordering a regular taxi directly from the airport. Thanks to the construction and opening of the Crimean bridge, it became convenient to get to the Crimea in a personal vehicle. The village can be reached on South Coast and Sudak highway. The roads of Crimea itself are a series of serpentines with a view of the sea and picturesque nature.

Finding a place to sleep in Parkovoy, as in other parts of the Crimea, is not difficult. Prices in comparison with large resort areas are two times cheaper. Prices increase in degree of proximity to the sea, the cheapest options are in the upper parts of the city and vice versa. Getting down to the beach is convenient given the slope, but getting up is harder, especially on a hot summer day.

Renting a private sector is more profitable than mini-hotels, but in hotels the level of comfort is higher. For example, you can consider options such as "Zhukovka" and "Parkovoy". From any windows, according to reviews, a gorgeous view of the green trees and rocks opens, which are abundant in Parkovoy. In the park you can also find many resorts starting from three and higher stars.

On the beach there are water attractions for children, the possibility of renting sun loungers and concrete canopies for those who want to hide from the scorching sun.

It should be careful when entering the water, as you can stumble on large boulders and even sharp stones, but this is offset by the transparency of the water. Many swimmers at the base of breakwaters will be able to dive, collect shells and watch underwater animals, there are designated places in the water for this.
