The most beautiful resort in Crimea. Where is it better to relax in the Crimea to improve your health. From the reviews about the rest on the Kerch Peninsula

Where is the best place to relax in Crimea? There is no definite answer to this question. After all, the nature of the peninsula is very diverse, and someone is only interested in a beach holiday, someone wants to go hiking, and give someone historical sights.

In this post I will tell you in general about the resorts of Crimea, about the strengths and weaknesses of each. After all, even resort towns and villages differ in the development of infrastructure, prices and much more. Marked all the places I'm talking about in the post, on the map, it's at the bottom of the post.

Where to rest in Crimea? Resorts of Crimea

I will tell here only about those places that I personally visited, and I will write the pros and cons regarding my point of view. For some, my minuses will be pluses and vice versa :)

West Coast

Olenevka- a quiet village in the very western point peninsula near Cape Tarkhankut. It is here that one of the best beaches in Crimea with white sand and clear water is located. That is why it is good to relax in Olenevka with children and those who want to feel like a grandmother in the village, but at the sea :)

good ecology, not one large enterprise nearby
relatively quiet
gorgeous sandy beach
diving opportunities
Tarkhankut

bad infrastructure, ordinary village
there are no normal supermarkets and a large selection of cafe-restaurants
difficult to get to, not many buses and travel relatively far
steppes (minus for me personally, I love mountains)
not a lot of interesting things around, it can get boring

Evpatoria- most famous resort on the west coast. A whole area of the city is occupied by sanatoriums and children's health camps, some of which appeared as early as the beginning of the 20th century. The city has an oriental atmosphere, there is a large beautiful mosque, old town with picturesque streets. also sandy, popular among vacationers with children.

Sevastopol- a hero city, a city of sailors, St. Petersburg on the warm sea. Just a charming place in the hills with beautiful ancient buildings, areas. It can be seen that a lot of money is being invested in Sevastopol, there are good roads, mowed lawns, paved sidewalks, everything is new - a great contrast with other cities of Crimea.

Sevastopol

Sevastopol should not be considered as a base for beach holiday(there are beaches, but not the best ones), but it’s definitely worth coming for a day or two, to see the center, Tauric Chersonesus, the Defense of Sevastopol Museum and other places.

Of course, these are far from all Crimean resorts, but I have listed the main and most popular ones.

The rating was compiled by the website www.site, the survey was conducted at the checkpoints to the Crimea: the port "Kavkaz", Armyansk, Chongar and the airport "Simferopol".
At each point, 1300 questionnaires were collected, the sample was 5200 people. 4479 people were processed - 56% of women and 44% of men. The age of the audience is from 21 to 63 years.
The main condition of the survey was the exclusion local population Crimea from the survey to obtain an objective result of the preferences of the guests of the peninsula.
The purpose of the survey is to determine the rating, according to tourists, of the best places to stay in Crimea.

Rating of the best cities according to guests of Crimea

Rightfully takes first place. Popularization of the resort began in the 18th century royal family Romanovs and noble families of St. Petersburg and Moscow. Each noble family considered it their duty to build at least a small estate in the Crimea, not to mention such masterpieces as the Livadia, Vorontsovsky, Massandra palaces.
The Yalta embankment is to this day the most visited place in the Crimea. Thousands of people make their evening promenade before going to bed or a stormy night. Cypresses, plane trees, palm trees, cozy benches, fountains, warm sea wind and the sound of the sea - this is only a small part of the overall picture of the Yalta embankment.
Embankments, parks, castles and historical places Yalta still attracts many tourists and vacationers to this beautiful city.

Starting with Maximilian Voloshin, the village simply attracts creative youth. It is the unspoken capital of nudists. In the water area of the village are the most beautiful dormant volcano Kara-Dag and near it the Golden Gate. The beaches in Koktebel are made of large pebbles, and there is practically no sand, due to which the water is almost always clear. .

Children's health resort of Crimea. A variety of beaches, from small pebbles to the cleanest white sand, temples, mosques, history originating from ancient city Kerkinitida, built by the Greeks in the 5th century BC, give the legal right to Evpatoria to occupy the third line in the ranking best cities Crimea. Two water parks, a dolphinarium, attractions at every turn make the city an ideal place for a family vacation.

Alushta is the first big city on the road from Simferopol to Yalta. A large number of sanatoriums and hotels have made this place extremely attractive for tourists. Accommodation prices have always been lower than in Yalta. The presence of a water park, a dolphinarium, aquariums and many entertainment venues attract a large number of tourists from all over the world.

The city of military glory with the ruins of the ancient city of Chersonese, the baptism of Prince Vladimir, who baptized Rus', and many other historical heritage deservedly ranks fifth in the ranking. Sevastopol today has the largest number of monuments and sights stretching from antiquity to the present day. The atmosphere of the city of Sevastopol is very different from the entire Crimea. For a relatively short period of time, in relation to other resort towns, Sevastopol is open to tourists. The locals are still not imbued with the spirit of commerce and live in their beautiful and heroic world, full of battles, city defenses, battles for every street. There are memorials, museums, dioramas and panoramas at almost every step.

One of the most ancient cities in the world. The city is steeped in history and has many historical attractions. wonderful beaches, Mountain air and juniper groves make this city not only one of the oldest, but also one of the most amazing cities in the world.

A small village on the southern coast of the Crimean peninsula. By right, he considers the Foros Church, built on a sheer cliff, towering high above the city, to be its most beautiful attraction. Foros is also famous for one of the cleanest beaches in the Crimea. Absence big cities, industries and ports make this corner of Crimea practically a protected area.

It certainly took its place in the ranking because of the unusual bay, in which even in the strongest storm at sea, the excitement of the water does not even reach the 1st ball. In a small area of the city, it does not hold sights. Submarine base, Genoese fortress, one of the oldest temples in the Crimea and much more. The city is one of the ten best places in Crimea for a mandatory visit.

One of the most comfortable villages on the Crimean coast, even Mount Koshka lay down on its coast. Calm, quiet village. Loving couples have long chosen it for romance and silence. Big coastline, clean beaches, a relatively short distance from the main attractions of the southern coast of Crimea make this place the golden mean between Yalta and Alushta.

The village of Partenit closes the rating. One of the visiting cards of the Crimea, Bear Mountain, is located here. Partenit is also famous for its beaches and coastal zone. The village is most often associated with family and quiet holidays. After 21:00 it becomes quiet in the village, only coastal establishments accept night guests, and for the most part these are small and cute restaurants with sea views.

The best cities of Crimea on the map

Crimea is one of the best places for families with children. Convenient transport connection and the absence of bureaucratic barriers make family holidays on this peninsula affordable and enjoyable. The question of where it is better to relax in Crimea with children does not have a clear answer: some resorts boast spacious sandy beaches, others have a wide variety of entertainment available.

The age of the child also plays an important role. For children up to 5-6 years of age, carefree swimming on the seashore, riding the waves and building majestic sand and stone buildings are of the greatest interest. Those who are older will appreciate visiting water parks, dolphinariums, oceanariums and other attractions.

The choice of a specific vacation spot raises many questions for everyone who decides to visit Crimea with their family. Resort towns on the coast and numerous cozy villages stretching along the sea differ both in climate and affordable entertainment. To simplify the search process, we have compiled a detailed rating of Crimean resorts that are most suitable for families with a child.

Resorts of the Southern Coast of Crimea

The South Coast is the main visiting card of the Crimean peninsula. The most recognizable landscapes, clean mountain air, saturated with the aroma of juniper, majestic mountains- all these are signs of the South Coast, where the best resorts of Crimea are located, which have won great love from travelers.

Big Yalta

Yalta is by far the most famous Crimean resort. In combination with numerous cities and towns stretching from Foros in the west to a nature reserve in the east, it forms the so-called Big Yalta.

Where to relax with children in Yalta?
It should be noted right away that all the beaches in these places are pebble or sand and pebble..

For a long time it was believed that Yalta is the best resort in Crimea. However, the city is not very suitable for families with children: there are no comfortable sandy beaches, the road to the coast usually takes a lot of time and effort, and the streets are noisy and crowded.

For this reason, family vacations in Crimea are best spent not in Yalta, but in the surrounding villages.

Simeiz water park near Mount Koshka
One of the most attractive places for families with children is Gurzuf. This seaside town offers its guests clean mountain air, good beaches with small pebbles and a peaceful atmosphere. Such resort villages as Gaspra, Simeiz, Nikita and Koreiz deserve attention, however, good, spacious beaches in these places are a rarity. A similar situation has developed in Alupka, Livadia and Foros.

Pebble beach in Alupka
The most interesting entertainment for children is located in Yalta. First of all, it is better to visit the Skazka zoo, which gives you the opportunity to get acquainted with dozens of animals from all over the world, as well as the crocodile aquarium, where you can not only look at the formidable inhabitants of water bodies, but also take part in their feeding (of course, taking into account the necessary precautions ). Younger children will appreciate the Little Farm Zoo.

Big Alushta

The surroundings of Alushta, including the resort villages of Utes, Partenit and Malorechenskoye, are part of the Alushta City Council, for simplicity called Big Alushta. These places combine all the advantages of Big Yalta and a more democratic cost of recreation.

Family resort town Alushta
Alushta is a resort city on the southern coast of Crimea. Its main advantage is the spacious city beach. Most its area is occupied by sand, however, near the shore it is replaced by small pebbles. The rest of the city's beaches are pebbly and rather small in size.

Near Alushta, the resort village of Professor's Corner is comfortably located, where you can find several good sandy beaches belonging to the sanatoriums "Alushta", "Dnepr" and "More". Anyone can visit them absolutely free.

The professor's corner compares favorably with its location: remote from the noisy central streets Alushta, it provides a calm and comfortable stay in the Crimea with children by the sea and convenient access to interesting entertainment. Exactly The water park "Almond Grove" is located in the Professor's Corner, offering guests 12 slides, several pools with imitation of the current and sea waves, as well as a children's corner for the youngest visitors.

The small resort villages that are part of Big Alushta are very cozy and picturesque, but completely devoid of sandy beaches and any entertainment.

The greatest comfort for living is represented by Utes with its picturesque park and clear water along the entire coast. Partenit and Malorechenskoye usually offer inexpensive family vacations, however, the level of service in these places usually leaves much to be desired.

In addition to the already mentioned water park, Alushta offers a lot of entertainment for families. Dolphinariums "Nemo" and "Akvarel" offer rich show programs that children love so much, and for an additional fee you can even take part in swimming with dolphins. Visitors to the Alushta Aquarium will be able to get acquainted with amazing inhabitants sea depths.

Read about the most beautiful cities and towns of Crimea with sandy beaches.

Western coast of Crimea

Perhaps the best places to relax in Crimea with children are located in the western part of the peninsula. A large number of sunny days, a variety of sandy and small-pebble beaches, a combination of sea and steppe climate makes local resorts the most suitable candidates for a family trip.

If you do not know where it is better to relax in Crimea with children, choosing the West Bank will be an almost win-win option.

Evpatoria is the most famous Black Sea resort in Western Crimea. Spacious and free to visit sandy beaches are ideal for families with children. The climate of Evpatoria is well tolerated by the child's body, so the acclimatization process usually goes smoothly, without any side effects.

It should be noted that, despite the great length and wide coastline, in the midst of tourist season the beaches of Evpatoria do not always cope with the flow of tourists. For this reason, it is worth taking a closer look at the lesser-known villages and resorts on the West Coast of Crimea. The resorts of Saki and Chernomorskoye attract travelers not only with beautiful beaches with golden sand, but also with affordable prices.

Another well-known West Coast resort is Balaklava. Proximity to Sevastopol with its various historical sights, a unique submarine base and good pebble beaches make this town an interesting choice for holidays with school-age children.

In terms of entertainment, Evpatoria and its environs are in no way inferior to Alushta: there is a spacious water park, a dolphinarium and an aquarium. Thus, the West Coast offers a varied and very affordable family vacation.

Eastern coast of Crimea

The resorts of the eastern part of Crimea occupy an intermediate position between the South Coast and West coast as in your own natural conditions, as well as the cost of rest. As a rule, the beaches in these places are sandy, which means they are great for comfortable rest with kids.

Feodosia cannot boast of any entertainment that is especially interesting for children, however, its eastern environs are actually occupied by one large sandy beach, located along the villages of Beregovoye and Primorsky, where even in the season you can easily find a free place.

It is worth noting that the water in these places is somewhat colder than in Sudak or Novy Svet, so the period from late June to early September will be the most suitable for a beach holiday with a child.

East of Feodosia is Koktebel with its scenic views on the Kara-Dag volcanic massif and clean sea water. All beaches in the village are pebbly. Of the entertainment in Koktebel, the water park is of the greatest interest, however, its size is not as large as that of Sudak or Alushta.

In recent years, Ordzhonikidze is gaining great popularity - a resort village with a convenient sandy beach and a quiet, cozy atmosphere.

Thus, the Eastern coast of Crimea offers a variety of opportunities for family holidays.

Sudak is perfect for lovers of outdoor activities and entertainment, and for those who appreciate a relaxing beach holiday, the coast in the vicinity of Feodosia is of greatest interest.

Sudak and surroundings

Sudak is the most popular resort on the East Coast, combining moderate cost of living, clear sea and excellent climate. The wide coastline makes it easy to find a place on the beach even during the peak season, and the tourist infrastructure is quite developed and offers big variety housing and additional services.

Not far from Sudak is the village of Novy Svet - the pearl of the Eastern Crimea. A picturesque bay with clear water and a beautiful sandy beach creates an incredible cozy atmosphere. However, holidays in this area are quite expensive, and at the peak of the tourist season, the beaches are overcrowded.

Sudak and Novy Svet offer a lot of entertainment for children and adults:

horse riding, riding from inflatable slides;

various attractions;

tennis court;

and other.

Sudak is famous for one of the best water parks in Crimea offering a wide variety of slides and pools. Those who are older will be interested in various historical sights, for example, the Genoese fortress.
