• nudist.

Passenger traffic has been developed both within the city and between cities and towns. The coastal cover is mostly pebble, but stony and sandy-pebble. Sand is delivered to many private beaches.

If you look at the map of Alushta, the coastline is conditionally divided into 3 parts.

• Central embankment. Located in the middle of the coastline of Alushta, very busy. It has good transport accessibility and developed infrastructure.
• Professor's (working) corner located on the right side of the central beach, towards Mount Kastel - this is the western promenade. Here is the territory of private beaches rented.Entrance here is paid, but this makes it possible to use sun loungers and umbrellas. Almost everywhere there are canopies and good flooring for entry-exit into the water. At the end of the Professor’s corner is a pier. There you can find a boat for boat trips for little money.
• East embankment. You can get here from the center through Seaside Park or get around on the right through the Demerdzhi Park Hotel. There is also a road past the Porto Mare through the tunnel.

There is a trolley bus, a bus and a large number of different fixed-route taxis. Life here is in full swing day and night. There is a lot of entertainment for children and adults, and not only at sea.

Pebble beach with large stonesTherefore, it is best to come here in shoes so that entering and leaving the sea does not become a test for you. Who came early - that and a sunbed. And not everyone wants to lie on a towel, because the stones are quite large and uncomfortable, and there is practically no free space by 10 o’clock.

In July 2018, we rested in the city of Alushta. Stayed in the private sector. They rented an apartment. The cost of the studio cost 1800 rubles per day. There were 4 of us. I find it inexpensive. Tender Beach is a 5-minute walk away. The beach population is very high. Hard to find a place. The beach itself and the beach really liked. A lot of entertainment for children is not only paid, but also free. A lot of good impressions of the water park. We want to visit Crimea this year too.

My boyfriend and I have been resting for the second year in Alushta. We stayed at the Neva boarding house. To the sea, walk past the Porto Mare Hotel through a tunnel for 8-10 minutes. Beautiful quiet, comfortable beach. If you needed entertainment, then went to the city center. If you want to save on accommodation, it is best to book six months in advance.I really liked the excursion "Jeep tour to Mount Demerdzhi." This year we want to travel by car along the Crimean coast.

We rested in 2017 with children. We didn’t book advance accommodation. Upon arrival at the bus station, a crowd surrounded us with various offers of accommodation options. The cost of housing was from 300 rubles. per day per person. We chose a two-room apartment near the beach, about 20 minutes walk.

The cost at that time was 1200 rubles per day. The first day we went to the central beach - a lot of people. We mainly walked through the tunnel near the Porto Mare Hotel to the eastern embankment. It is very quiet and calm, almost all the beaches are free. Alushta is associated with beautiful views, the smell of pine needles and the sea.

We rested in Alushta in August 2018. Stayed in the private sector. There was a feeling as if we had plunged into the Soviet past. Old Soviet buildings, trolleybuses. We went to the beach on the eastern promenade. Very well maintained and clean. All beaches are separated by breakwaters and belong to a sanatorium. We mainly went to the beach of the Horizon sanatorium. It is free and there are quite few people. We went to the center for entertainment, and there we found an inexpensive supermarket. We got a very budget vacation.

The whole family went by car to Alushta. Stayed in a private guest house. What I liked: unique nature, clean air, aura of tranquility and comfort, clean clear and very warm water, clean beaches, nice, responsive people. What I didn’t like: very high prices for food and gas, no chain stores, little entertainment for children (except the central promenade), poor food in cafes and cafes, poor roads, no parking. I recommend the city of Alushta if you want a relaxing and quiet holiday.

In July 2018, she visited the city of Alushta. We traveled by car, so in this city we stayed for 3 days, and then further along the Crimean coast. I did not like the central beach - there are a lot of people and high prices. But the prices for boat trips pleasantly surprised. A lot of boats and boats. The Mysteries of the Marble Cave and the Valley of the Ghosts were on excursions. Liked it, but quite expensive.

We liked the beaches of the Seven Yard, which are located close to Alushta. The first time I saw pistachio groves there. The sea is very clean, and the coastline is wide and clean. There are affordable prices and not many people.
