Crimea is always good: in summer it is a warm sea, an abundance of fruits, all kinds of water activities and the unique smell of cedars, pines and herbs heated by the sun; in the fall - gifts from gardens, fantastically diverse and delicious grapes, mountains covered with colorful forests; in winter - sanatoriums, evergreen parks, gray-haired Ai-Petri with its ski slopes, the sea, which decided to remind of its strength, and suddenly blooming almond trees; in spring there is a riot of smells and colors of the awakened sea and nature.

Mountains and colorful rocks, white-foam beaches of two seas, two hundred sunny days year, lush vineyards, summer-blooming steppes, healing waters and dirt, exotic plants - all this is the wealth of the Crimean peninsula.

• Yalta;

• Koktebel;
• Saki.

Yalta

Foothill resort with a Mediterranean climate. Yalta is a city that includes many resorts, such as Alupka, Gurzuf, Massandra and others - in total there are about thirty resorts that make up the Greater Yalta agglomeration.

The city itself is small - about one hundred thousand people permanently live in it, but from one and a half to two million tourists arrive annually.

They all scatter along the sandy and pebble beaches of Yalta, relax by the sea, average temperature which in warm seasons is 24 degrees.

Yalta air is considered healing - there are a lot of sanatoriums where respiratory diseases are cured. The air descending from three mountain ranges promotes vigor, restoration of strength, health and beauty.

Among the sanatoriums where you can economically get treatment and for active, useful recreation, the following stand out:

• Sanatorium named after Kirov (from 550 to 700 rubles per day for two);
• Boarding house "Parkovy" (from 500 to 700 rubles per day for two);
• Sanatorium "Eagle's Nest" (from 700 to 1000 rubles per day for two).

Each boarding house and sanatorium is located near the main attractions of Yalta:

• Livadia White Palace;
• Palace "Swallow's Nest";
• Massandra Palace.

All three palaces were founded in the 18th-19th centuries, and if you can briefly tell about the Bely Palace that it is a uniquely grandiose architecture, and about the Massandra Palace it is about beauty and famous wine cellars, then the Swallow’s Nest will require a more detailed description.

This palace was originally called the Palace of Love - a certain romantically minded military official, whose name history has not preserved, founded it on a cliff above the boiling surf. The name of the “love” that prompted him to build a wonderful castle has also been lost to history.

Later, the palace passed from hand to hand among courtiers and merchants, even became a restaurant, and has survived to this day, reconstructed in 1927 (it was damaged by an earthquake).

The palace stands alone, close to the very edge of the cliff. Its spiers, size, decoration and monumentality defy the eyes - how can its bulk rest so easily and gracefully on a fragile cliff?

The popularity of the “Nest” has forced a lot of hotels, inns and guest houses to join it, including some that will significantly save money on accommodation:

• “Dog Hostel” (from 600 rubles per day);
• Guest house “On Kirova” (from 800 rubles per night);
• Hotel "Happy" (from 1000 rubles per night).

There are also rocky beaches, which are difficult to get to through piles of stones. But if you overcome the mountain paths, you can go out to crystal clear coves, caves, inside of which life boils in small salt lakes, and enjoy solitude.

Among the natural attractions is the ancient extinct volcano Kara-Dag and the surrounding small bays with colorful pebbles.

Historical attractions include:

• Kafa Fortress;
• Temple of Sarkis;
• Mufti-Jami Mosque.

How to get to Crimea

By car

Due to the tense situation on the “Ukraine” border, currently the most relevant route to Crimea is through the Kerch crossing. The road from Moscow to the port of Kavkaz is 1,500 kilometers and will take about 19 hours. Almost the entire road will have to be driven along the M4 (Don) highway; there are toll sections on the highway, which are no different in route from the free road, but are located in better condition, so if possible, it’s worth saving your car and nerves and shelling out a couple of hundred for the toll road.

Ferries run 16 times a day, there is a queue at the crossing, and there are inspectors handing out coupons with your number in the queue. The queue can be very long and take a lot of time (sometimes they wait for 18 hours), the queues accumulate in holidays and during bad weather, the queue lasts up to two days after the storm (until those who waited leave). The cost of the crossing depends on the number of people and the length of the car: an adult ticket is 162 rubles, a ticket for a car length up to 4.2 m. 1190 rub.

Total: ~1800 km. by car at a consumption of 8 l./100 km. Priced at 34 rubles. per liter – 4896 rubles one way + ferry payment – ​​approximately 2000 rubles. (based on 4 people in the car).

In terms of time, we get 19 hours before the crossing + crossing: two or three hours in line + an hour to swim, + the road through the Crimea, depending on the destination, from an hour to four. The journey should be divided into two days with an overnight stay before the ferry.

Airplane

Single ticket to Crimea

In the summer of 2015, single tickets to Crimea were sold, which included a bus crossing to the ferry, a crossing and a bus from Kerch to the desired point in Crimea. Passengers with a single ticket had priority queue for the ferry. On this moment ticket sales have been suspended (since October 1, 2015), but will apparently be resumed by next summer.

Inexpensive private sector in Crimea

For many visitors, sanatoriums and boarding houses are unaffordable, and then the private sector comes to their aid, offering very good conditions accommodation, both in the form of rooms, floors and houses. Due to competition among themselves, private owners improve their service for guests from year to year, which affects the cost. So, renting a home with comfortable conditions is quite possible. Why is vacation in the private sector inexpensive? And here are the answers:

• The infrastructure in such places is not developed. These include Mezhvodnoye, Olenevka and Frunze.
• The private sector is just beginning to gain strength, so the cost of vacation is relatively low.

This type of accommodation is popular among couples with children and lovers of silence. In this case, there are places in Crimea where this is feasible: Saki, Zaozernoye and the villages of the Leninsky district.

Meals and excursions

Vacations always come with the question of quality and inexpensive food. Since the bulk of the budget is spent on this. Eating out in cafes and restaurants every day is not budget-friendly. In Crimea there are canteens where you can eat inexpensively. Choose those where there are a lot of people, so at least the food in them will not be stale and will always be fresh. Another option: you should either buy food and cook it yourself, or pay the owner for cooking. By the way, there are more shops in Crimea. Especially in cities. As a last resort, stock up on canned food and dry foods, but this is not always good for the body. You can take advantage of the offers of recreation centers and boarding houses that have canteens. Meals in this case are included in the accommodation.

But most vacationers go to Crimea for the impressions and romance that local attractions provide. If you are not a fan of walking in crowds and listening to a guide, then you should take care of routes and transport in advance. Due to the developed bus infrastructure, getting to most famous monuments and places of pilgrimage for tourists will not be difficult. So, travel wisely! And have a nice holiday!
