And the proof of this is archaeological excavations, thanks to which household items and other evidence of the presence of people were discovered. The findings suggest that locals practiced here fishing, cattle breeding and so on.

By the looks of it, every building was surrounded defensive structure. There is an underground passage on the cape, which, according to scientists, was dug just at that time. You can find the cape on old maps, only then it was called "Heraclius".

In the seventh - sixth century BC, the Khazars settled here, who gave the boiler a new name. Unfortunately, it is impossible to say exactly in what century the history of the ancient settlement ended. The only thing that can be argued is that the life of people here no longer continued. The new settlement was not built.

But on the other hand, they are attractive. They have a special energy, natural landscapes, untouched and unspoiled by human hands. The coast of Kazantip is completely indented with various rocks, limestone whimsical figures. In combination with shallow depth, this prevents severe storms. Perhaps due to the peculiarities of the landscape here and bathing season lasts until mid-October, from the beginning of May.

How to get to the resort from Moscow

It is more practical for tourists from the capital of Russia to buy a ticket for the Moscow - flight, since direct flight no resort. The reason for this is simple - the lack of an airport in the city itself. But it is in the neighboring (Kerch), from where buses run to the Shchelkino bus station.

There is also an airport in Simferopol, from which buses also run to the resort. Flight time is 2 hours 50 minutes. Although the plane is the fastest way to get to Shchelkino, the ticket price is tourist season rises sharply. Because of this, not everyone will be able to buy it.

But it's better to buy single ticket, which has been on sale since the beginning of summer and gives the right to travel by any type of transport. Thanks to the help of coordinators, train and bus routes are selected in such a way that you do not have to wait.

It should be remembered that the path of most trains pass through mainland Ukraine. Therefore, for Russian citizens, the passage is open only with special permits.

In the event that the train passes in this direction, the ticket should be taken to the station "Seven Wells", that is, the village of Lenino. From there you will have to take a taxi to the resort. You can also buy a ticket for the train to Feodosia, but you need to get off at the Aivazovskaya station. From here you should also use the services of private cabs. But the fare will be higher than from the village of Lenino.

How to get there by bus

Buses do not run directly from the capital to Shchelkino, but you can buy a ticket to Kerch. Buses to Kerch depart from Novoyasenevskaya bus station. After arriving at final destination will have to switch to scheduled bus, which departs from the Kerch central bus station.
