Rest in Semidvorye in the Crimea

Semidvorye is a resort village of the Crimean peninsula, which has a very small number of inhabitants. In fact, Semidvorye is not an ordinary village, because it consists of a whole complex of tourist points for vacationers. Here you can find guest houses, campsites, apartments and houses for rent, as well as boathouses and expensive apartments.

Also nearby are such settlements as Satera, the village of Radiant, Solnechnogorsk, which are also resort places.

After this, the place is mentioned in the manuscripts of V. Kh. Kondaraki. He called this place Ed-ev or Heptasnitium, which just means "7 yards" from the Greek language. But the famous Crimean local historian in his writings did not indicate the exact number of yards or families. Kondaraki suggested that in ancient times there could be a Sarmatian settlement.

Local historians also suggest that the number "7" in the name of the settlement does not indicate the number of yards, but is a kind of symbolic protection that protects residents from misfortunes and illnesses. In a large number of peoples living in the southeastern part of Europe, the number "7" has a sacred meaning. This theme is found in folklore tales, tales and songs.But the exact number of inhabitants of the Seven-yard was not known until the beginning of the 20th century. At the beginning of this century, the permanent local population was literally counted in units. The 2001 census showed the presence of 11 permanent inhabitants in the Semidvorye. Since then, the situation has changed, today about a hundred people live here. All adults are employed in the tourism business.

Although the Semidvorye does not have any places for outdoor activities, besides the sea itself, of course, there are several unique natural sites. TO they can safely be attributed to the most picturesque mountain of Crimea - Demerdzhi. On it, in addition to breathtaking species and rare plants, there is the well-known Valley of Ghosts. The valley consists of many stone sculptures of natural origin. Stone sculptures have been standing here for more than one hundred years, their feature is an unusual form in which each person will find something of his own.

Many find in sculptures similarities with animals, people, weapons, and mythological creatures. Also a feature of these figures is their periodic "return to life." During the day, when the sun changes its position, stone natural sculptures under the influence of light and shadow also begin to change their image, shape, "character". Tourists, to see this phenomenon, are ready to stay on the peaks of Demerdzhi all day. Because of this, temporary camping is allowed in some parts of the mountain.

Not far from the Valley of Ghosts is another unique natural attraction. This is the valley of the Soter River with its decorations - stone mushrooms. Such formations are not too rare in the world, and are found in many countries, but all of them are connected not only by the shape of the stone figures, but also by their origin. Stone mushrooms are formed in a natural way, under the influence of water and air erosionthat have different effects on different types of rocks. Thus, the leg of a stone mushroom appears. Hat stones that are on top do not erode too much, so they were able to maintain their original appearance. Even now, these days, one can observe the emergence of new figures. But this process is very long and can take decades.

The magnificent flower gardens and beams in the surroundings of the Sotere Valley are very popular. This collection of beautiful and rare plants favors the cure of a number of pulmonary diseases: bronchial asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, sarcoidosis, and even tuberculosis. To get a healing effect, just a few hours of walking is enough, it is better to do them alone, in silence. If you are afraid to get lost, then numerous hiking trails have been trodden to your aid.

If you just want to relax and unwind on the cleanest beaches of the Semidvorye, then for this you need sunbeds, as the beaches here are filled with large pebbles. The beaches of the resort village are just perfect for sunbathing, but don’t be zealous - on this coast of the Crimea the sun is especially active, and therefore, with long tanning, you can get sunstroke and burns.
