In Koktebel, there are unique and priceless attractions, visiting which will be remembered for a long time.

The sights of Koktebel, in my opinion, are intended for two categories of citizens - young, strong, active and romantic, intelligent, curious. Of course, there are lucky ones who combine these qualities in themselves - Koktebel is simply created for them.
It so happened that the most interesting thing in Koktebel is connected, on the one hand, with wild, protected nature, on the other hand, with high art (literature, painting).
The natural attractions of Koktebel are stunning in their beauty, unique reserve Karadag, Cape Chameleon, sea, mountains, bays, steppes...
Art is the pages of Koktebel life associated with the poet Maximilian Voloshin and a significant part of the Russian intelligentsia of the Silver Age, and later of the Soviet era, who lived and worked in Koktebel.

Advertising - club support

Koktebel, like the rest Southeast Crimea, V varying degrees according to the strengths and interests of everyone - young and mature, traveling by car and on foot, traveling with children, alone, in a company. Everyone will find here something to see, something to enjoy. It is this noteworthy side of Koktebel that I consider the strongest.

In terms of infrastructure development, this village is much less interesting. Now it still does not reach the real Resort.
So, what can you see in Koktebel and its environs?

• Karadag nature reserve(including the rock "Golden Gate"),
• Cape Chameleon,
• quiet bay,
• fox bay,
• Embankment ( monuments to the defenders of the Crimea, Voloshin),
• House-museum and Voloshin's grave,
• Mount Klementieva - the center of gliding,
• Factory of cognacs "Koktebel"
• Karadag Dolphinarium,
• Aquapark "Koktebel"
• nude beach

The list of attractions at first glance seems small.The impression is deceptive. If you get acquainted with all these sights step by step, you will need a lot of time and effort, believe me.
Once upon a time, my friends and I went on foot to the Quiet Bay, to the reserve, climbed the mountains a lot, walked along the burnt steppes. For me, even when I was young, it was not easy. That's why I'm talking about youth and sportiness when I mean active rest in Koktebel. There is definitely a place to swing and enjoy life. Take at least the beaches of the nearby bays - Quiet and Lisya, which are the best in Crimea, along with the beaches on Cape Tarkhankut, in the Cossack Bay in Sevastopol, the Golden Beach in Feodosia.

However, you should not despair. In our time, everything has become easier - got into the car and drove off. In Quiet Bay, for example, you can get to Lisya - both to get there and to swim. Of course, you won’t be able to ride around the reserve - there are only hiking and not on its own. To the grave of Voloshin, you also need to climb on foot along a steep path. But there are options. You won't get bored. Let's talk about some interesting places in more detail.

Karadag nature reserve -

this is a closed area. You can go here only with a guided tour, which is conducted by the workers of the biological station. By the power of impressions, this is one of the most interesting places in Crimea. There are no indifferent and dissatisfied people. But on the way, tourists are waiting for a difficult climb uphill, a difficult descent, several hours of walking (well, if not under the scorching sun). It is necessary to realistically assess your strength, wear comfortable shoes and clothes, and do not forget to take water with you.
What can you see in the Karadag Reserve? A lot. Karadag Nature Museum, Dolphinarium, seawater aquarium. Be sure to follow the ecological trails.
Excursions around mountain route are held from May to September. The length of the route is 7 kilometers. The duration of the tour is 4 hours.

For those who cannot walk such a distance for various reasons (health, traveling with small children), there is a good alternative -. Of course, these are different things, it is desirable to visit both, but as an option to get acquainted with the ancient extinct volcano, look at the rocks, bays, listen to legends and stories, very good. I recommend!

Kara-Dag is an array consisting of several mountains.

The most high point- Mount Holy (577 meters).

The sea at the foot of Karadag is of emerald color.

The Golden Gates of Karadag are visible in the distance.

Rock "Golden Gate" -

visiting card of Koktebel and the main attraction of Karadag. It is located behind the Rogue Bay. The height of the rock is 8 meters, width - 6 meters, depth down - 15 meters.
The photos of the rock didn't turn out very well. There was a terrible pitching and near the "Golden Gate" came out somewhat inexpressive. In the photo above, from afar, they are visible even better, perhaps. To visit Koktebel and not see the Golden Gate?! Impossible!

There are two ways to get to the Golden Gate. Like we are by sea. Or by mountain path along Karadag.

Cape Chameleon

is located near Koktebel - between the village itself and Quiet Bay. It got its name because of the variability of color depending on the weather, time of day, lighting. Outwardly, the shape resembles a dinosaur leaning towards the water.
We saw Cape Chameleon like this. To be honest, it's amazing...

Agree, a real watercolor ... Such delicate colors.

A little before reaching Cape Chameleon, on the mountain opposite, is Grave of Maximilian Voloshin. You can climb to it along one of the paths leading up. At the beginning there is a very steep path, then, after about a kilometer, it is more gentle. When we were driving along the road from Koktebel towards Quiet Bay, I saw a small homemade marker to the grave. As I understand it, he points to the path that is more difficult. In the photo below - the rise is easier.

quiet bay

together with the adjacent Biyuk-Yanyshar and Kuchuk-Yanyshar ridges forms a single natural complex, a natural monument with the name of the tract "Quiet Bay". This place attracts here those who are looking for silence, the beauty of nature untouched by civilization, clean beaches, sea.
Quiet bay - a rare corner - on the one hand reserved, on the other - accessible. This is the place for those who prefer the wild beach holiday with a tent. After all, first of all, people come here to sunbathe and swim, and the beach in Quiet Bay is one of the best beaches in Crimea.
You can get here on foot or by car. Walking from Koktebel to the Quiet Bay is a long way. I had to walk myself. But I can’t say how much time passed - in my youth it’s somehow not customary to time such walks with a stopwatch. I remember that it was hot, far away, at times it was difficult for me to go up the mountain, then down the mountain, or even splashed on the water. Burnt as a result terribly. Although it is possible to go and just on the road. It's less romantic, but reliable.
This year we went to Quiet Bay by car. The road is unimportant, rocky, sometimes broken during the rains, apparently, therefore, it is very rutted. We do not really like such roads, it is a pity for the car. Therefore, they admired the Quiet Bay a little from afar, before reaching the goal.

The fact that Quiet Bay is a special place is evidenced by the fact that art in various forms glorified it and used it. In painting - these are paintings by various masters, starting with Voloshin, in cinema - films. I saw Silent Bay and "Scarlet Sails", and "The Man from Capuchin Boulevard", and "Pirates of the 20th Century". It is said that more than a hundred films have been filmed here.

fox bay

located between Karadag and Cape Meganom. IN Lisyu bay You can’t get there on foot from Koktebel, you have to go. 40 minutes by car towards Shebetovka. The road is bad. They also bring them here on boats.
Fox Bay is another place for wild recreation, a cult place, chosen by inveterate savages, nudists, informals and ... the most ordinary vacationers and tourists. It is believed that here is one of the best beaches in the Crimea. Rest - not rest, but it's worth a look here if you are interested in the sights of the Crimea and are looking for something interesting to see.
What is Fox Bay? Fox Bay - a state of mind. From the VK group with the same name (http://vk.com/club2554424) photo of this paradise:

We didn't make it here this year. I couldn't even wave my hand from afar.

Embankment of Koktebel -

not long (a little less than one and a half kilometers), quite "motley", ambiguous. But what is a city by the sea without a promenade, the main area for walking and relaxing?! Any self-respecting embankment, like a state within a state, is full of sights of various kinds. Koktebelskaya is no exception.
For example, such as the woman Luda, who has been plying here for more than a year and selling fuck ..n-grass (in the photo below she is standing with a basket). The internet is full of videos of her. With her jokes, she even struck down Alexander Revva (http://kivvi.kz/watch/5dq03r3flg92). If you want to laugh, follow the link.

To this day, the cinematic glory of Koktebel and its environs is alive. We watched the filming process on the embankment for two days.

And once upon a time .... On the set of "Scarlet Sails", the profile of Voloshin and Karadag is also clearly visible in the background.

On the embankment there are numerous cafes, souvenir shops, as well as children's attractions and the Dolphinarium.

There are also several monuments.
Monument to the paratroopers.

They looked for inspiration, friendly support and even shelter in Voloshin's house. We rested, gained strength, shared our thoughts and dreams.
