Today, the most interesting, non-standard and unique place to spend the New Year holidays is Yalta. Despite the fact that this is a traditional seaside resort, which is most popular in the summer, Yalta in winter is a completely different world: quiet, calm, but positive and cheerful.

The weather can be a pleasant surprise: since Yalta belongs to the sub-Mediterranean climate zone, the temperature in winter does not drop below zero.

Since many hotels order fireworks on a festive night, at exactly midnight a lot of lights illuminate the Yalta sky.

After the New Year's festivities, you can devote time to a leisurely rest: take a walk along the promenade and breathe in the sea air, visit the hotel's SPA center or swim in the pool. And the most daring can open the swimming season in January - the sea water temperature at this time is no more than +10 degrees.

Someone will like traveling by car - this way you can see many interesting sights, capture beautiful landscapes on your camera. Many places can be visited while avoiding long lines and high prices - low demand in winter makes itself felt.

In Simferopol, you can look at old houses and monuments, so if you don’t want to buy tickets for sightseeing, you can get by with such a budget, but no less interesting option.
