From it, on a cloudless day, the sea is visible, the coast with Mount Ayu-Dag for 150 kilometers. You can also visit the architectural monument of the twentieth century, the palace with a rich decoration of Suuk-Su.

This paradise The South Coast was visited by famous poets, singers, members of the royal family. The sights of Gurzuf are silent witnesses of that time. But museums will be able to tell a lot about the village as a popular resort, which it remains today.

The name of the mountain Ayu-Dag comes from the Turkic name, which means Bear Mountain. Indeed, the mountain has such a relief that resembles the body of a bear. The mountain in ancient times served as a signpost for sailors.

In ancient times, the twins were connected to the coast by a thin isthmus, which over time was destroyed by the forces of the sea. A restaurant with exotic cuisine was built at the beginning of the 20th century on the nearest one from Adalar...

The fountain is made in the Baroque style, is a composition on the plot Greek mythology, the center of which is the Universe, made in the form of a ball with a belt of the constellations of the Zodiac.

Attractions and entertainment in Gurzuf will help you spend your vacation richly and unforgettable, and strengthening your health with sea air will bring undoubted benefits.

One of the most inspiring and romantic resorts Kryma is Gurzuf, located in the southern part of the peninsula. Here the muse visited such luminaries as Pushkin and Chekhov, Bunin, Kuprin and Mayakovsky. A.S. Pushkin spent "the happiest three weeks of his life" in Gurzuf and was impressed by these places. And Anton Pavlovich Chekhov fell in love with this village so much that he bought a summer house and a bay in Gurzuf.

Bear Mountain, Gurzuf

Not only the great masters of the word sought to relax in Gurzuf, every Soviet schoolboy dreamed of coming here in the summer in order to find himself in the most famous former USSR children's camp - the legendary "Artek", which is comfortably located near the village in one of the most pretty places Crimean peninsula. But even if someone’s childhood dream about Artek didn’t come true, it’s easy to fix: excursions are organized there. So, while relaxing in Gurzuf, you can enjoy the unique places of this legendary Soviet camp, which was available mainly for "round honors students" and children of famous parents.

What is unique about the Gurzuf resort?

But what is it that attracted and attracts Gurzuf the mighty of the world this, creative personalities, staunch travelers and ordinary tourists-vacationers? What surprise do they find in this relatively small village, the number of permanent residents of which is less than 10 thousand?

Gurzuf is located in the very beautiful place of the southern Crimea, among subtropical vegetation, and the air is not only clean and fresh, but also therapeutic and tonic. It is saturated with an active mixture of sea vapors and useful pairs of trees and shrubs. Many people notice, including me, that if you just live in Gurzuf for a while, even in winter, when bathing season, then there is a powerful charge of the body with energy and strength, the mood improves dramatically and stress and blues disappear.

As for the village itself, Gurzuf, like most of the southern coastal Crimean settlements, stretches on a slope, but has its own zest. So, here you come across narrow streets, uncharacteristic for many Crimean villages - just like in cities Eastern countries. This gives Gurzuf its own unique charm, favorably distinguishes it from other resorts of the Crimea.

Streets of Gurzuf

Near Gurzuf are two symbols of the Crimea and its south coast, which adorn the rest with their beauty, you have probably seen them on many souvenir postcards and magnets, posters, calendars. This is Mount Ayu-Dag or simply the Bear and two rocks located in the sea - Adalary. Mount Bear in outline resembles a bear leaning towards the sea. It is well visible from many points. South Shore Crimea, is a wonderful excursion object and in addition fanned with beautiful legends.

According to one of them, a flock of bears found a little girl among the wreckage of the ship, who later grew up among them. The bears loved her very much. But somehow they went far to hunt, and on the shore where the girl lived, a boat was washed up with a young man who was exhausted. The girl managed to get him out. They fell in love and decided to sail together on a boat to those parts where the young man lived. When they sailed from the shore, the bears returned. The leader of the pack - a huge bear - roared and began to try to detain the fugitives, retreating on the boat. He bowed his head to the water and, wanting to return his favorite, decided to drink the whole sea. The girl, assuming that the bears would kill the young man, prayed and turned to the leader of the bear pack with a request not to interfere with her happiness. The giant bear heeded her plea, but could not survive the loss and turned to stone. He still stands in the same place, leaning towards the sea and looking into the distance, where the boat with the flock's favorite has sailed.

As for the Adalar rocks, they are located opposite Artek, 200-300 meters from the coast, and the distance between them is several tens of meters. They look picturesque and exclusive from the land, because such large island rocks cannot be found anywhere else in the Crimea. Adalars cannot be confused with anything, they are " business card"Gurzuf and Artek. To the top of one of these rocks leads hiking trail, passing through which you will see the area from a bird's eye view, as well as be able to look into the unique grottoes. In a word, there is a reason to swim to these rocks, you can do it yourself, by swimming, if, of course, you swim well enough and are confident in your abilities. And if not, it is better to hire a boat. Great view from the top of the cliff most of Gurzuf, and this is a great reason not to be lazy and still get here.

Adalary mountains

What are the beaches in Gurzuf?

The beaches in Gurzuf are pebbly, there are both paid and free ones. In some places, in addition to pebbles, specially poured gravel comes across, this can create discomfort for the feet during entry into the sea, since these stones are unhewn. But on the other hand, this is a completely free and very high-quality massage, which perfectly heals the body. For comfort, we recommend getting rubber coral slippers, in which it is often better to swim. The disadvantage of local beaches is their crowdedness, as elsewhere on popular resorts Russia and other countries. The best Gurzuf beach, perhaps, deserves to be called the beach in Chekhov Bay, near the cottage-museum of Chekhov - the sea is cleaner there, and the rocks add picturesqueness, you can watch the fish if you swim with a mask.

Beaches in Gurzuf

Where to stay in Gurzuf?

Housing in the village is one of the most expensive in Crimea, prices are almost at the level of Yalta. Therefore, in terms of the price range, Gurzuf can be safely ranked among the most expensive resorts Crimea. A hotel with a price for a decent double room below 1500 rubles per day in the season is unlikely to be found. Another thing - private sector, which can help out economical and unpretentious tourists and offer a price of 20-30% less.

Gurzuf should be chosen by tourists who love a comfortable stay. Here you can find hotels with own beaches(for example, Artek), with pools and terraces (for example, Familia de Luxe, Familia, Thyssen House 4 *, Gurzuf dawns, etc.). If you like to relax in comfortable apartments, then in Gurzuf you can book a room in one of the apart-hotels, for example, in Onegin Terrace.

There are quite a few hotels and apartments in Gurzuf, see reviews and prices can be found here .

Sights of Gurzuf and surroundings

Museum of A.S. Pushkin in Gurzuf

In the house where Pushkin lived for several weeks in Gurzuf in 1820 with the family of General Raevsky, now a wonderful museum of the great poet has been opened. The museum is surrounded by a wonderful landscape park, in which, by the way, according to one version, that same Pushkin's green oak grows near the Lukomorya ... The park also grows in this park, which Pushkin mentioned in his letters, indicating that he visited it daily, and a plane tree planted exactly across year after the death of the poet.

Museum of A.S. Pushkin in Gurzuf

As for the museum building itself, this is the oldest building on the entire southern coast of Crimea, and when Pushkin lived here, it belonged to Duke Armand Du Plessis de Richelieu, a historical person, the founder of Odessa.

The Pushkin Museum has a well thought out excursion program. You can walk through the rooms where the interior items of the Pushkin era, the editions of books from the poet's time are collected. I also highly recommend taking a tour, during which a museum employee will guide you through park area museum and will show both the Pushkin cypress and the Pushkin oak - the alleged prototype of that very green oak near the seashore. There is another curious excursion along the old streets of Gurzuf, along Pushkin's places. Where the foot of the great Russian master of the word stepped, you can also walk.

A tour of the Pushkin Museum, in Pushkin's places inspires. Everything here is filled with some kind of special energy: the rooms of an old building, and the alleys of the park surrounding it, and these trees, among which I spent one of better days young Pushkin of his life ... The cost of excursions is from 80 to 260 rubles.

Mount Ayu-Dag or Bear Mountain

Near Gurzuf there is an interesting natural attraction - Mount Ayu-Dag, which is very convenient to get from the village. Bear Mountain is included in the list of must-see sights in Crimea, and if you are relaxing in Gurzuf, then you are in luck.

Mount Ayu-dag

The main route to Mount Medved starts from Partenit, which is located about 10 kilometers from Gurzuf (you can take a minibus or taxi).

Mount Ayu-Dag is a failed volcano, a failed eruption attempt occurred more than 100 million years ago. Some believe that the unreleased volcanic power made this place energetically strong, with a large concentration of "earth energy". By the way, I noticed that in places where volcanic eruptions took place, there is a completely different energy, which is simply impossible to describe in words - it’s just very cool and easy there. There are also many cases of observation of unidentified flying objects near Mount Ayu-Dag. No one, of course, provided real evidence, but ufologists love these places. For all these reasons, the mountain partly has a certain mystical glory, people add up legends about it.

The way to the top of Ayu-Dag takes several hours, it goes along the path, which offers enchanting views of the village of Partenita. The route is of medium difficulty, so almost everyone can master it. Closer to the top of the Bear Mountain, the wonderful Crimean panorama is hidden from view, because the upper part of the Ayu-Dag is covered with dense forests. But you plunge into the pleasant coolness of greenery and go and breathe in the healing air.

In the process of climbing the mountain path, which is also called the Raevsky path (it is named after the very general with whose family Pushkin traveled around the Crimea in 1820), you will come across the barely surviving insignificant remains of an ancient monastery. They are located in the Ai-Constant clearing, where you can also take a break after difficult walking, winding and taking a lot of strength mountain paths. I recommend taking a backpack with water and a light snack and having a picnic here.

Walk through the mystical and immortalized in beautiful legends beauty - Bear-grief will be a pleasant adventure and will be good for health. Indeed, in addition to healthy physical activity, you will breathe in plenty of the miraculous mountain-forest air of the subtropics with an admixture of sea fumes. The cost of an excursion to Ayu-Dag from Gurzuf is low - from 400 rubles, but nothing prevents you from going through this route on your own.

Gurzuf park

Resting in Gurzuf, you can independently go for a walk along very beautiful park with the same name. If you are relaxing in another Crimean resort, you can visit the Gurzuf park with a guided tour. The secret of the popularity of the park is that it combines magical natural landscapes with sculptures and fonts. Such quite a european park. You will walk among laurels and olives, banana and other palms, startle from the splashes of cool water from the fountains.

Gurzuf park

Most beautiful fountain in the park is called "Night", which depicts the naked goddess of the night Nyukta with a torch over her head, surrounded by the god of sleep Hypnos and the god of love Eros, as well as the fountain "Rachel".

In addition to exotic flora, amazing fountains, graceful sculptures and busts famous people, the park has ancient buildings With unusual architecture. In general, a lot here surprises and makes you see Crimea in a new way.

There are guards at the entrance to the park, because now sanatoriums adjoin it. You can enter the territory in the composition organized excursion or with a local guide at 11 am or 4 pm. The cost of the tour is about 100 rubles.

Chekhov Dacha Museum

The great Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov had good taste. For a long time he was looking for a place for his dacha by the sea in the Crimea. In the end, his choice fell on Gurzuf, where he bought a house near the seaside. The classic lived in this house for five years and created here such famous works as "Lady with a Dog", "The Cherry Orchard", "Three Sisters". The former cottage of Chekhov has become a museum and one of the most visited places in Gurzuf, and it takes 10-15 minutes to walk to it from the village embankment. Excursion buses from other Crimean resorts also often drive up here.

Museum-cottage of Chekhov in Gurzuf, Chekhov Bay

There is a wonderful opportunity not only to walk around the rooms of Chekhov's dacha, to look at the interior items and the conditions in which the writer lived and created his immortal works, which we all studied at school, but also to swim on his favorite beach. The bay near the dacha is located between two rocks and, admittedly, local residents, is one of the most the best beaches not only Gurzuf, but the entire southern coast of Crimea. Now it proudly bears the name Chekhov Bay.

A small garden grows around the country house, where bamboo, which the classic touched, and two palm trees, planted by him in honor of the completion of work on the story "Three Sisters", have been preserved. Initially, there were three palm trees, like the sisters in the story, one did not survive to this day.

Like Pushkin Museum in Gurzuf, Chekhov's dacha, in my opinion, is a must-see attraction. I highly recommend not to miss it. The cost of the tour is from 150 rubles.

The legendary complex "Artek"

Just a few kilometers from the center of Gurzuf towards the Bear Mountain, the beautiful Crimean lands were occupied by the International child Center"Artek", immersed in the greenery of cypresses and palm trees. Every Soviet schoolboy dreamed of getting into this children's paradise on earth, ask your parents, they will tell you.

The following fact speaks eloquently about what Artek is: in 2000 in Tokyo, it was recognized as the best children's center in the world, and about 100 thousand children's camps from more than 50 countries competed for this title!

Among the Artek residents, that is, those to whom fate gave the opportunity to relax here, there are many people who later became famous. For example, Anatoly Karpov, Vladimir Vinokur, Yuri Nikolaev, Leon Izmailov, Leonid Filatov, Tamara Gverdtsiteli, Irina Khakamada, Andrey Grigoriev-Appolonov and many others. The world's first cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin visited Artek as a guest. He opened a museum of astronautics here and planted a cypress with his own hands, and also presented his spacesuit for the museum, which had been in outer space.

In 2015, Artek will celebrate its 90th anniversary. He, as before, continues to take children from different countries. Now there are 9 camps on its territory, the cost of vouchers here is from 23.5 to 60 thousand rubles, the race lasts 21 days.

I managed to live on the territory of Artek in 2004 in one of the houses that somehow ended up on the territory children's camp. To put it bluntly: impressive! 200 hectares of area, of which half is occupied green spaces, an endless 7-kilometer sea ​​coast- in this vast children's city easy to get lost. Which happened to me a couple of times.

Leisure in "Artek" can be spent in a very diverse way. In addition to a giant park area with graceful alleys, several of its own museums, Artek has a school of underwater archeology and even has its own film studio - called Artekfilm. So Artek residents can try themselves as filmmakers and actors.

Very good events are organized from Gurzuf and not only to Artek sightseeing tours, during which they tell and show a lot of interesting things, including Pushkin's, Chekhov's places, which are also here. Cost with a guide - from 600 rubles. So, think about whether to send your child on vacation abroad or to his native land.

As you can see, choosing Gurzuf as your holiday destination, you will get a wonderful climate, clear sea and interesting excursion program almost without leaving home. Moreover, excursions will appeal to both nature lovers and connoisseurs of estates and museums. The season is in full swing, it's time to book tickets to the Crimea.
