The village of Beregovoe in the Crimea: history, attractions, travel, housing
Thinking about vacation, many would prefer a standard, but very relaxing option that can energize and inspire you next year. But somehow I do not want to spend money on an expensive vacation in Turkey or Egypt. Then the Crimean coast is perfect, a very interesting place with its history and territorial features.
The variety of vacations in this place is due to the fact that the Autonomous Republic of Crimea is a peninsula, therefore, many cities have access to the sea. In addition to major tourist destinations (Evpatoria, Yalta, Sevastopol, Feodosia, Alupka, Alushta), there are smaller settlements that are no less interesting and perfect for families.
We advise you to pay attention to the village "Beregovoe" with very beautiful sunsets and unforgettable nature.
Description
One of the most beautiful places in Crimea is the city of Feodosia, and next to it is the equally interesting settlement Beregovoye. Why is this particular village, which is not so easy to find on the map, so popular among tourists? In addition to its convenient location near the resort town, it attracts with its cozy and relaxed atmosphere. This is a very quiet and peaceful place for a relaxing family holiday.
It is interesting that in the Crimea there are as many as 3 villages with the name "Coastal". One is located in the western part (near Nikolaevka), the second in the south of the peninsula (near Foros) and the third village, which will be discussed, 8 km from Feodosia.
The village is located directly on the Black Sea coast. There are fewer people there in season than in other cities, due to the location: from Simferopol to the village 125 km, if you go by taxi it is from 1.5 to 2.5 hours. 170 km from Yalta, and 8 km from Feodosia. Therefore, when planning your vacation, be careful and correctly calculate your route and the time necessary for the trip.
From the east, the village is washed by the salt lake Aschigol, but since it does not have medicinal properties, it is not in demand among tourists. If you decide to go to this wonderful place, then for you there will be all the amenities. Due to its coastal location, most services are aimed at the benefit of tourists. For example, along the entire promenade there are cafes, canteens, restaurants (most of which work only in season), around the village there are many stalls with souvenirs and all sorts of little things, useful and not very.
There is 1 pharmacy in the entire village, there are not many drugs there, pay attention to this when you are going on vacation. If you are allergic or have a chronic illness, bring the medicine with you better.
As for supermarkets, they are not there. There is a chain of shops selling Crimean wines and several small grocery stores.
An amusement park that works only during the season is available - “Field of Miracles”. You will enjoy riding rides, various themed events and discos, a small green area and a tourist office where you can book excursions. There are hostels, hotels, pensions, estates and a huge choice in the private sector for living (many people in the village live off the money earned in the season, from renting out housing).
Climate
The location of the village and nearby Feodosia is very picturesque due to towering mountains, plains, coniferous forests, which can not but rejoice the eye. And, of course, sandy beaches will appeal to any visitor. The climate in this area is unique: in spite of its softness, the air is very hot, but thanks to the sea breeze and winds this does not greatly affect vacationers and local residents.
- Winter it is determined only by the calendar, + 10 degrees in winter - this is the normal temperature for local residents. There is practically no cold here, the temperature in winter rarely drops below zero.
- In summer this city is the sunniest of all resorts of the Crimea, the sun does not leave Beregovoe almost all summer. Even Yalta, which is popular among tourists for its mild climate, cannot compete with this village.
As for the weather in summer (air and sea temperatures), it is as follows.
- July August it keeps the average air temperature of +28 +30 degrees, but moist air softens such a heat stroke on the human body and makes the rest comfortable and enjoyable. But it is worth remembering that being in direct sunlight is very dangerous for a long time. You need to sunbathe in the shade and use sunscreen.
- The sea pleases its vacationers with a water temperature of +24 +26 degrees. It is worth remembering that the Black Sea is much more hectic than the Sea of Azov, so there can be storms or small waves. It’s worth knowing not to spoil your holiday expectations.
- The water remains warm for a long time, the swimming season is opened here in May and ends in October, but considering that winters are not very cold on the coast, some swim all year round.
What to see?
Tired of eternal bustle, people come to Beregovoye in order to enjoy peace, tranquility and beach relaxation. But they also want variety and see something interesting and new, gain experience. For them, too, there are interesting scenic spots.
- Damn staircase. The original has the name Shantai-Merdven (Tatar). It used to be a strategic target for coastal residents - a transition between the northern and southern parts. But as a result of technological progress, it has lost its significance and is now serving as a local landmark and historical monument. Tourists, despite its gloomy appearance and not very interesting historical origin, this place attracts with its mysterious name and legends.
- Rock of Iphigenia whose height is 120 meters.Few people know that this rock is a fragment of the ancient volcanic massif that existed in Crimea even before the Jurassic period of civilization. Rare breeds took part in the formation of the rock: keratophyre porphyrites and cut tuffs.
The exclusivity of this rock is that there are none like it on the entire Crimean coast. This rock is mentioned in the myths of Ancient Greece.
- Golden beach. This is also a kind of attraction thanks to the fine yellow-golden sand, which is why the sea takes on a perfect blue hue. The cleanliness of the beach is monitored, so it has not lost its mystery now. The beach offers boat rides, diving and sailing.
- Kuchuk Lake - Ajigol. It is small in size - its total area is 0.326 square kilometers. It does not have healing properties, there is no healing mud. Local residents do not recommend swimming in this reservoir, very often an unpleasant smell comes from it, and a change in the color of water in it was also noticed. A favorite pastime for locals on that lake is fishing. Although the chance to take home a “big” catch is extremely small, there are plenty of people who want to try their luck. Most often there you can catch crayfish, plankton and other animals.
As for the picturesque nature of this lake, in addition to flowering water, reeds grow along the shore, and then the steppe, which blooms and adds color to the lake. Often, gulls fly to the lake, allowing everyone to take a picture of themselves. What else can be captured on the lake? Fast and nimble lizards that are sure to fall into the frame while you are taking pictures.
- Karadag reserve - the volcanic massif Kara-Dag, it also includes the entire mountain range along the coast and preserved underwater reefs. Since the recognition of this part of the reserve, a significant part of the flora and fauna of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea has been restored. And to reduce the risk of people interfering in the life of the reserve, we created paths along which tours are conducted, but you can walk on them only accompanied by a reserve worker. There are about 5 thousand species of animals in the green corner, 540 of which are recognized as endangered and are listed in the Red Book.
Those who wish to travel can go to Feodosia, where they organize horseback riding, three-day trips with an overnight stay in tents. It is proposed to feel like a bird and fly over the sea in a balloon. So, outdoor enthusiasts will also find something to do. If you come with children, then for them there is also a lot of entertainment: sports fields, trampolines, attractions, ice cream on every corner and amusement park.
Children can also be taken on excursions that they will definitely like, but consider the age of the child and the time of the excursion.
