Interesting places and attractions on the southern coast of Crimea

The southern coast of Crimea is a paradise for travel

In the 19th century, the southern coast of Crimea first attracted the attention of the Russian nobility. picturesque landscapes are complemented by summer residences and palaces, and vacations on the southern borders of the empire are becoming increasingly popular. This is not surprising: it is difficult to find a more favorable place in Russia to relax in the spring and in the Velvet season.

This is how Felix Yusupov, a representative of one of the richest noble families, who also settled on the coast near Livadia, describes the peninsula in his memoirs.

Crimea is a wonderful land. It resembles the French Cote d'Azur, but its landscapes are harsher. All around are high rocky mountains; on the slopes there are pine trees, right up to the shore; The sea is changeable: peaceful and radiant in the sun and terrible in a storm. The climate is mild, there are flowers everywhere, a lot of roses.

The southeast coast amazes with the abundance of palaces and mansions made in completely different styles: they show echoes of French castles of the Renaissance, Italian Renaissance and even traces of the traditions of Ottoman architecture of the 16th-18th centuries. Each building is a separate object of art, created by famous architects in conditions of fierce competition, each park is small Botanical Garden with strange plants, fountains and wonderful views of the sea.

Often, the fate of Russian history was decided in these places; details can be found in the museums occupying the premises of the palaces. For example, during the summer months the Livadia Palace became the center of state power, from which the emperor directed all processes in the country. In 1945, the palace hosted meetings that determined the post-war order in Europe. If you're nearby, be sure to take a tour. You will be amazed not only by the grandeur of the complex and its rich history, but also by the selfless attitude of the guides to the profession. It is rare to find specialists so dedicated to their work.

The Crimean health resort quickly gained popularity and was far ahead of the resorts of the Caucasus in terms of the number of vacationers. The southern coast of Taurida has become a favorite vacation spot for both ordinary citizens and representatives creative intelligentsia and all kinds of elites. IN different time Pushkin, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Kuprin, Korovin, Green, Chaliapin and many, many others vacationed at Crimean resorts. Crimea gave inspiration to everyone - many works of literature and art were written here, and their authors spoke enthusiastically about the peninsula.

From the beaches of Alushta, Sudak and Feodosia, a stunning change begins, as if in a kaleidoscope natural landscapes, which can be admired from the heights of the mountains. Once you find yourself at the top of some massif, you are surprised how such a number of diverse landscapes fit on a small piece of land that will forever remain in your heart. The panorama from the Ai-Petri plateau changes several times a day. Having climbed to the top early in the morning, you will most likely see a dense veil of clouds under your feet, covering the entire space to the horizon.

Closer to noon, pine trees growing on the slopes will begin to appear in the milky haze, the fog will slowly dissipate, revealing more and more new horizons: Yalta, Cape Ai-Todor with the “Swallow’s Nest”, Bear Mountain, Vorontsov Palace, Simeiz... You will need at least half an hour just to look at the picture that appears before your eyes. Hundreds of thousands of details: the sea, the coastline, palaces, gardens, cities and houses, ships at sea - just for this view alone it is worth coming to Crimea.

In the 20th century, the island located in the village of Gurzuf became the entry card of the peninsula. Holidays in the most famous pioneer camp in the country were considered the ultimate childhood dream. It was here that delegations from socialist countries, children from friendly states came, and heads of state from near and far abroad who paid a visit to the Soviet Union often stayed here.

Today Crimea is, first of all, sea and sun. However, the southeast coast will make you take a fresh look at seemingly familiar things. A vacation here cannot only be on the beach, it includes walks in the fresh air, excursions, and fishing - the intensity of the trip depends only on your desires.

South-eastern Crimea will appeal to everyone who wants to combine beach holiday with rich cultural program and active tourism.

This part Crimean peninsula They have long been called briefly - the South Coast, and everyone immediately understands that we're talking about about the southern coast of Crimea, a narrow strip of the Black Sea coast from Cape Aya to Mount Kara-Dag, not far from Koktebel. It is called southern because of its geographical location, but this name has long been overgrown with other meanings: the warmest and most beautiful!

About geography and climate

From the north, the south of Crimea is limited by the Main Ridge Crimean mountains, protecting the coast from northern winds; from the south it is washed by the Black Sea, which regulates heat: in winter it warms the air, and in summer it brings coolness. Thanks to this relief, the climate of the southern coast of Crimea is favorable for plants, which make it healing: in the forests of the Crimean Mountains and numerous parks, conifers and junipers predominate, releasing medicinal phytoncides, the sea saturates the air with sea salts. This tandem turned the southern coast of Crimea into a huge healing inhalation center.

The climate of the south of Crimea is subtropical, Mediterranean and in its healing effects surpasses the best resorts of Italy and France:

  1. Winter is very mild, with frequent rains, snow and frost are rare guests here, and the temperature even in the coldest month can suddenly rise to 15-18 degrees. Snow lies only in the mountains.
  2. Spring, that's why it's spring, is to be windy and fickle: in March even snow is possible, and mid-May is usually so warm that vacationers are already swimming.
  3. Summer on the South Coast of Crimea is long and hot - from the end of May to the end of September, but the heat is moderated by the sea breeze, and therefore it is very easy to breathe.
  4. Autumn starts late and ends only in mid-October swimming season, but during the day it’s still warm, and only in the evenings does the air begin to smell like autumn.

Forest vegetation - oaks and pines, juniper and beech, deciduous trees and bushes, many types of grasses, but the very edge of the Crimean South Coast, inhabited by people, is planted mainly with ornamental plants: Lebanese and Himalayan cedars, cypress and ivy, magnolias and strawberry trees, laurel cherries and Spanish gorse. Of the fruit trees and shrubs on the southern coast of Crimea, most of them are figs, persimmons, pears, apples, apricots, cherries, peaches, plums and grapes, among the many varieties of which very rare native varieties are still preserved.


Cities and towns of the Southern Coast of Crimea

From Cape Aya to Feodosia, the very extreme point The southern coast of Crimea, at the edge of the sea, are scattered like beads of a pearl necklace, small villages and cities with ancient names and amazing story. If we drive east from Sevastopol, road signs will tell us the fascinating history of the most densely populated part of the peninsula:

  1. Cape Aya (Holy) protrudes into the sea like a horn. The place is reserved, protected and mysterious.

In whatever town or village of Southern Crimea you stop to rest, you will be amazed by the history of this area, because over many hundreds of years hundreds of peoples have lived on the land of Crimea, and each has left its mark in the architecture, history, and name.

The most popular and invariably in demand among tourists resort area in Crimea- it is his South coast. Geographically Southern Crimea called the part of the Black Sea coast on the southern side of the Main slope of the Crimean Mountains. This territory is limited from the west by Kara-Dag, and from the east by Cape Aya. Here are the best conditions for recreation and tourism, which have long been widely recognized throughout the world. Resorts of Southern Crimea lie at a very short distance from each other, so that their boundaries are sometimes completely blurred. But at the same time, each of them may have very special features, its own microclimate, vegetation, and relief lines. Unlike other parts Crimean coast, there are a lot of mountains here, so there will be no shortage of picturesque views. Whichever holiday resort you choose.

On the southern coast of Crimea The charming climate of the Mediterranean reigns. Warm winters, hot and dry summers, sea winds from the sea and from the mountains have earned it the reputation of a world health center. People with a whole range of diseases are sent here and are cured by the wonderful nature here. Best time for relaxation - early autumn, the so-called “velvet season”, because the period when you can swim here ends much later than in other places, because the water in the sea remains warm for a very long time.

Add to list resorts in the region First of all, it includes such famous health resorts as Alupka and Yalta, as well as Simeiz, Gurzuf and small villages almost merged into one like Gaspra, Foros and Koreiz. The mountain slopes and expanses of plains here are strewn with a lush carpet of subtropical plants, and the beaches are pebble and fully equipped for the needs of vacationers. In addition to natural beauties, South part Crimean coast It has most interesting story, closely connected with the life of the Russian monarchs, for whom they were built here luxurious palaces and created picturesque parks. Take a look at the architectural ensembles of Massandria and Livadia, as well as the magnificent castle " bird home", guests flock from all over the world every year.

It was in this part of the peninsula that the largest number of sanatoriums and children's health camps were built in the post-revolutionary period. Many of them are still working today. Most of the tourists visiting Southern Crimea, comes specifically for treatment. The region is very popular among families with children - all conditions are created here to turn your vacation into a fairy tale. Now the hotel fund of Southern Crimea includes hotels, holiday homes, boarding houses, private apartments of various levels of comfort with and without treatment, so choosing the optimal offer for each client will not be difficult.

The village of Morskoye on the southern coast of Crimea just west of Sudak it stretches along a valley between the mountains along the Black Sea coast. Several thousand people live here, that is, it is a small settlement. As elsewhere in the south of Crimea, holiday season in Morskoye lasts a very long time and is characterized by high air and water temperatures. The sun almost never hides behind the clouds, giving light and warmth to tourists for two and a half thousand hours a year. Sometimes even in October you can swim and sunbathe here.

The beauty of the mountain and seascapes of the resort is all the more amazing because this is one of those places on the territory of the Crimean peninsula that has not yet been touched much by civilization, and which still retain an absolutely natural, miraculous charm. The largest beach in the village with medium-sized pebbles is landscaped in those areas that belong to the territory of sanatoriums and boarding houses. There are cabins, awnings, and fresh showers. But the cleanliness leaves much to be desired, largely due to the fact that two mountain rivers flow through the beach at once with water that is not very clean due to the rain.

The choice of places to stay in Morskoye is incredibly rich - from chic to stylish hotel rooms with a full range of luxury attributes, up to fabric tents right next to the waves of the Black Sea. Accordingly, prices vary greatly, so a good option There is something for almost every budget. In Morskoye, in addition to standard beach activities such as catamarans, jet skis and scooters, horse riding and excursion routes, you can go diving exploring the seabed or rush through the waves with a parachute following motor boat. And it is clear that, like any resort town in Crimea, it cannot do without shops, restaurants, bars, cafes and food markets.

Although this city is not a resort in the real sense of the word, it is nevertheless one of the most popular recreational areas in Crimea. In general, this name usually means not only the city itself, but also such settlements like Inkerman, Kacha, Uchkuevka, the resort of Balaklava and several villages. The city, home to about four hundred thousand people, has a number of advantageously located bays where the water never freezes. That is why he has long become not only seaport, a commercial harbor, but also a naval base. And, of course, we cannot ignore ancient history of Sevastopol and its status as a hero city of the Great Patriotic War. Moreover, the historical sights and architectural monuments preserved in Sevastopol attract tourists almost more than its beaches, among which there are sandy and pebble ones.

Weather in the Sevastopol area prices are mostly the same as on the South Coast. Summers are very warm, but not too hot, there is little precipitation, and the water is suitable for swimming from June to mid-September. The most visited are the long lines of beaches between Streletskaya Bay and Omega, as well as central beaches city, and Sandy Bay near the Chersonesos protected area. Most of the beaches have showers, cafes and rescue services, but there are also completely wild places where the coastline leading to the sea is covered with stones or overgrown with grass.

For holidays in Sevastopol You can choose from a variety of hotels, boarding houses, campsites, sports centers and residential buildings. The modern entertainment industry includes shops, a water park, water rides, a dolphin theater and nightclubs. To the great delight of athletes, surfing and diving schools are open.

The small-pebble beaches of the resorts are very suitable for families with children, especially since they offer a large selection of water activities and attractions, as well as rental of sports equipment. Excursions to the Genoese fortress and trips to vineyards are organized, which Privetnoye resort deservedly proud.

Although holidays in these two villages are not as popular as in the more famous resorts of Southern Crimea - like Yalta or Alushta, nevertheless, here you can find tourist complexes the highest level. But most travelers still prefer mini-hotels, inexpensive comfortable boarding houses or cottages on the very seashore. Markets selling fresh fruit and vegetables, including the best local grapes, shops, restaurants, bars and cafes are easily accessible to all guests.

Malorechenskoye-Rybachye

Near Alushta in Crimea, at a very short distance from each other, there are several cozy villages with a mild and sunny climate and beautiful scenery of a mountain valley. The villages of Malorechenskoye and Rybachye , as well as the town of Solnechnogorskoye, are practically no different from each other, but at the same time, each of them has its own characteristics. Rybachye is a wider and more spacious, well-equipped resort area, but in Malorechensky will appeal to those looking for peace and privacy. Both villages boast attractions such as a lighthouse temple on the edge of a steep cliff or the Bay of Love. Both villages are excellent for holidays with children - there is no transport, no manufacturing enterprises, no noisy entertainment - only greenery, sea, sun and an atmosphere of peace.

Spacious pebble beaches at both resorts are equipped with rental stations, showers, sun loungers and outdoor cafes. And a little further, outside the villages, there is a strip of wild beaches, at the disposal of nudists and lovers tent rest. Rybachye and Malorechenskoye offer sanatoriums, holiday homes and small hotels, different kinds housing right next to the sea. In terms of service, the local hotels are in no way inferior to the most prestigious Crimean resorts and guarantee a truly unforgettable vacation.

Alushta

Alushta - affordable and prestigious Crimean resort in the southern part Black Sea coast. In terms of importance and popularity, this city is second only to Yalta. For many years now, this resort annually welcomes all categories of tourists, giving them the opportunity to spend time in accordance with their age and interests, having fun, improving their health and learning new things. The moderately humid climate formed by mixing sea and steppe air currents creates optimal conditions for recreation throughout the holiday season from May to October. There are a lot of sunny days a year, and the air and water temperatures consistently remain at the same pleasant level. That is why in Alushta It is recommended to travel as a patient with many different diseases.

Other very important dignity of Alushta, which encourages so many vacationers to choose it for their vacation - very developed transport network. From here you can get to almost any place in Crimea: the large nearby cities of Yalta and Simferopol and small villages. Through Simferopol is carried out railway connection with Krasnodar and the south of Russia, there is also an international airport there. Of course, this is also very convenient for exploring the sights of Crimea, so those who love excursions simply cannot find a better place than Alushta. In the most Alushta There is also something to see: the Valley of Ghosts, geysers, caves, chains of waterfalls and rocks that delight with their beauty. The hotel and resort business in Alushta actively competes with affordable housing in the private sector, so vacationers always have the opportunity to choose.

Alushta beach strip is about six kilometers long. For the most part, they are covered with small and medium-sized pebbles or sometimes sand of a dark color and quite large size. All beaches are well equipped and completely safe even for small children. Resort life is constantly in full swing on the wide embankments of Alushta - this is where most of the cultural and entertainment establishments, restaurants and retail outlets are concentrated. And although there are always a lot of people here, even in the midst of summer there is no feeling of unpleasant crowding and everyone can freely indulge in relaxation exactly as they like.

Parthenite and Utes

At the feet of Ayu-Dag, at some distance from Alushta and Yalta, lies another prestigious resort South Coast– Partenit village . This is the very edge of the Alushta region, next to Cape Plaka. Thousands of tourists come here to sunbathe and swim, attracted by the stunning climate of Southern Crimea. At this time, well-groomed pebbles and sandy beaches the villages are full of people, and various activities such as diving, surfing, boating and jet skis are in great demand. Those who are not into such fun can find romantic solitude on wild beaches blue lagoons under Mount Ayu-Dag. In the village, restaurants and cafes await customers, trips around the surrounding area, supermarkets and a dolphinarium are offered, which is worth visiting with children.

Near Partenit located new resort called Cliff with the unique architecture of modern multi-storey hotels standing almost close to the shore. Cozy, secluded place without loud noise nightlife, promotes relaxation and relieves accumulated fatigue. Natural pebbles and artificial concrete beaches of Utes equipped with convenient entry into the sea. And, to the delight of history buffs, it is in this small village that you can see the ancient palaces of Prince Yusupov and Countess Gagarina framed magnificent park with southern tropical plants.

Urban settlement Gurzuf , a little east of Yalta about famous mountain Ayu-Dag, also known as “Bear Mountain,” has long gained fame as one of the most best resorts peninsula of Crimea. A wonderful Mediterranean climate with warm but not too hot sunny days, lush and varied vegetation on the picturesque mountain slopes, a swimming season from June to October, a huge park with shady groves, fountains and sculptures - this is “ business card". Along the transparent clean sea There are paid and free pebble beaches with stones of different sizes. Most of the paid ones belong to sanatoriums and boarding houses, while city and municipal ones rent umbrellas, sun loungers, and showers. There are beach cafes here and there. In season, as elsewhere on the South Coast, public beaches very little free space. Therefore, many tourists prefer to take a boat to the more deserted coastline at the foot of Ayu-Dag, where they can swim and sunbathe in the open air.

Almost the entire embankment in Gurzuf. Private housing is rented in two main urban areas - old and new. Here it’s up to you to decide which type of placement is most suitable for your purposes. In the village, in addition to traditional types of attractions and entertainment on the water, tourists will be offered boat excursions to Yalta and Alupka, as well as to the famous Swallow's Nest castle - the tourist pearl of the Crimean coast.

Yalta is the most famous and fashionable resort in Southern Crimea , its tourist capital. The city is surrounded by a semi-ring of high mountains, descending into a bay with unusually beautiful scenery. The city is literally buried in tropical greenery, of which there is so much here that if you look from above, it seems as if buildings are scattered here and there among a continuous green carpet. In addition to the city itself, a territory stretches along more than seventy kilometers of the coast, which is commonly called Greater Yalta, which includes Gurzuf, Alupka and some other towns and villages. This must be remembered and always clarified when choosing a place to go on vacation.

If you want to choose a season when you are guaranteed the most favorable weather in Yalta– it is better to go there during the so-called “velvet season”, because here the period suitable for swimming begins later than in other places, since the water takes longer to warm up. There are quite a few beaches in Yalta, but they are all mostly private and belong to sanatoriums, hotels and boarding houses. There are free beaches, but you still have to pay to rent a sun lounger. In addition, as a rule, due to the number of vacationers, at the beginning of the day there is not a single free place left to even lay out a towel. So if you want space and a clean sea, pay attention to the extensive coastal strip outside the city. But in relation to entertainment Yalta there is something to surprise your guests. There is a water park, a dolphinarium, a zoo and a botanical garden, a fantastic park-museum “Glade of Fairy Tales”, with sculptures of fairy-tale characters, which will not leave any child indifferent. During the summer season, famous acting troupes give performances and concerts at the local theater. Yalta has no shortage of all kinds of restaurants, cafes and shops where you can make all the necessary purchases. So if you expect more than just sunshine and sea bathing from your holiday in Crimea, then Yalta - resort just for you.

Simeiz

Charming Simeiz - a popular youth resort in the south of Crimea , which comfortably perches at the foot of Mount Cat on the territory Big Yalta. The bizarre relief of the Crimean mountains and rocks sticking out of the water give it a very special beauty. On foot travel around Simeiz quite difficult - it is an endless chain of descents and ascents, steep mountain paths and slopes overgrown with coniferous relict forests. But how much fun you can get during such walks and what amazing photographs you will get! The beach season at this resort, as throughout the South Coast, lasts until September. It is characterized by steadily hot summers with almost no precipitation with temperatures around 23-25 ​​degrees and well-warmed water.

The free pebble beaches of the village are crowded and therefore heavily polluted at the height of the season, but sanatoriums and hotels take very good care of their private beaches, cleaning and improving them. So it's better to pay to get into one of them than to endure the inconvenience. But in secluded bays Blue Bay You can not only dive into clear water from the rocks, but also scuba dive or just have a good swim without crowds and noise. There is also a water park with water slides, which is a kind of “highlight” that complements the usual range of Crimean beach fun provided to vacationers at almost every resort.

Foros

Talking about Forose, it should be noted that this is the most southern of all resort villages in Crimea. In addition to its developed infrastructure and subtropical Mediterranean climate, it is known for its clean, well-maintained pebble beaches. By the way, Foros has always been liked by actors and musicians for its picturesqueness, evoking romantic thoughts and stimulating inspiration. On both sides of the resort I limit two high mountains, and in the center the third high point creates the architectural dominant of the Foros Church - the main attraction of the village. A huge park with a delightful collection of rare plants and trees descends to the sea in three tiers. Not only tourists, but also the residents themselves willingly relax in its fabulous groves with ponds and lakes.

All city ​​beaches of Foros are available to vacationers for free, and the main one is cut up by countless coves with clear blue water and has a completely wild, unkempt appearance. However, this “uncivilization” only makes him even more beautiful. Near the shore in the water you can often see jellyfish, crabs and other marine life, which, as you know, usually appear only in very clean water. Private beaches of hotels, of course, are much better equipped - they have canopies, toilets, and bars. Prices for accommodation and entertainment in Foros are on average no higher than throughout the southern coast. Water activities, excursions and discos are very actively visited by vacationers, and if this is not enough, you can go to Yalta, where you certainly won’t be bored.

Balaclava

A unique corner of the Crimean coast, which represents Balaclava, is located in Balaklava Bay, one and a half kilometers long, one of the most beautiful in all of Crimea. Balaclava is a resort with a very ancient history , it was described by Homer in the poem “Odyssey”. Now this is an area of ​​Sevastopol, which has long been adapted for sailing. Here you can see many private yachts gliding along the always calm surface of the azure water. A huge mass hangs over the entrance to the bay Genoese fortress, and schools of dolphins often swim to the shore - in a word, the place is absolutely fabulous. It is not surprising that there are so many tourists here, despite the fact that there are no beaches at all in Balaklava. But from here you will be taken by boat to the famous “Golden”, “Silver”, “Blizhny”, “Yashmovoy” and other beaches outside the resort. All along the way you will be able to admire the breathtaking panorama of the coast from the sea.

Until recently in Balaklava it was impossible to find any hotels or sanatoriums, because this city was completely non-tourist. But then several good holiday homes and small hotels with decent service were built, and private housing continues to be in demand. For entertainment, walking and water excursions to Cape Fiolent are organized, and “ To the Lost World", inspection of the Chembalo fortress and visit to the museum Cold War. After long and interesting trips, a great ending to the day will be dinner at one of the many fish restaurants on the embankment.

Or the South Coast is one of the most popular regions of the peninsula, moreover, its fame came back in the distant 19th century. Here, under a plane tree on the Yalta embankment, Sergei Yesenin met with Isadora Duncan. Anton Pavlovich Chekhov created and found inspiration on the southern coast. Finally, on the South Coast there were government sanatoriums and dachas in Soviet times. Today it is a region with excellent developed infrastructure, modern hotels and a wide variety of resorts: from noisy ones that attract party-going youth, to quiet corners that are ideal for family and even secluded holidays.

South Coast - Miskhor

Resorts

The southern coast of Crimea, or South Coast, includes two large resort regions - Greater Yalta and Big Alushta, stretching along the coast from Foros to. There are really a lot of cities and towns where you can relax - for every taste, especially the southern coast is popular in. And, of course, we need to start the conversation with Yalta.

On the southern coast of Crimea there are many “visiting” attractions of the peninsula. One of them is the famous one, located on the top of a cliff. Looking at it, it’s hard to even imagine that it appeared not in distant medieval times, in the era of valiant knights, but in the 19th century and was the estate of one of the famous military leaders of that time.

The legendary one is also located on the southern coast of Crimea, in Yalta. At any time of the year, here you can enjoy a riot of colors and greenery, and also learn a lot of interesting things about the vegetation of the peninsula.

And, of course, speaking about Crimea, it is impossible not to mention. It is also located in this region. Its peak is considered the best observation deck peninsula, and the rise along cable car– this is a real adventure. The local beauties will surely make even seasoned travelers dizzy.

Traditionally, the southern coast of Crimea has attracted creative people. This is where they looked for inspiration. In Gurzuf there are museums whose exhibitions are dedicated to the life and work of A.S. Pushkin and A.P. Chekhov, as well as the legendary Chaliapin rock. At the Yalta Museum you can continue your acquaintance with Anton Pavlovich and his works.

There are also unusual attractions on the southern coast of Crimea (SC) that are often left outside tourist routes. For example, in the village of Malorechenskoye near Alushta there is a unique lighthouse temple of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, dedicated to those whose lives were taken forever by the sea. It is not surprising that the painting of its walls uses a marine theme.

Of course, these are not all the attractions of the southern coast of the Crimean Peninsula. Curious tourists can endlessly discover architectural masterpieces, interesting museum exhibitions, and even wander through ancient ruins.


Hotels on the South Coast

Entertainment

On almost every well-maintained beach, tourists are offered a standard set of entertainment - bananas, cheesecakes, parachutes, jet skis. In addition, many places have cafes where you can have a snack without going far from the water.

In terms of night entertainment, Yalta stands out from all the resorts - here, as the sun sets, life begins to play with new, bright colors. Local clubs and bars will surely win the hearts of party-goers and those who came on vacation not just to sleep.

The southern coast of Crimea boasts several water parks - Atlantis(a new modern thematic complex) in Yalta, Alushta and, working exclusively for sea ​​water, in Simeiz. These are just the perfect places to have fun with the whole family.

Treatment

The air of the southern coast of Crimea, or South Coast, is unique. It is believed that the same one exists only here and on Cote d'Azur France. It is not surprising that both there and there are a large number of sanatoriums, which began in the 19th century.

In addition to standard programs designed to treat people with a variety of diseases, rehabilitation courses are also offered in Crimea, including for children with cerebral palsy. In the latter, dolphin therapy is actively used.

Climate

The climate of the South Coast is subtropical Mediterranean, comparable approximately to the climate of the southern part of France and the northern part of Italy.

Average temperature in summer from 24 to 28 degrees. The heat is easily tolerated due to the dry climate.

in winter The average temperature is +4 degrees, sometimes on winter days the temperature reaches 20 degrees.

in autumn the average temperature is approximately 14 degrees.

in spring it also averages 14 degrees.

Swimming season here lasts from June to the end of September, as at this time the water warms up optimally.

In conclusion, I would like to note that the southern coast of Crimea is truly beautiful. Here everyone, regardless of what type of holiday they prefer, will be able to find a corner to their liking. Many return to their favorite places again and again, because the local beauty will forever captivate the heart and soul.
