One of the lakes - Moinak - almost completely died back in the 90s as a deposit of mud for treatment. The reason was the unregulated discharge of fresh water into it from the North Crimean Canal. However, today this example has served to protect other reservoirs with unique healing properties, so that everyone can fully experience their effect.

Name

The ancient Greek settlement that existed on the site of present-day Evpatoria was called Kerkinitida (Greek. Κερκινίτις, Kerkinitis). After the destruction of Kerkinitida, there was no urban settlement in this place for many hundreds of years. During the time of the Crimean Khanate, a city was founded, which the Crimean Tatars called Kezlev, the Turks called Gözleve, and the Russians called Kozlov. After Crimea became part of the Russian Empire, the city was renamed Yevpatoria, while the Crimean Tatars continued to call it Kezlev. Today, this situation continues: in Russian and Ukrainian the city is called Yevpatoria, in Crimean Tatar - Kezlev.

Story

Johann Thunmann, who visited the Crimean Khanate in the 18th century, speaking about the city, noted:

Evpatoria as part of the Russian Empire

The Russian-Turkish War of 1768-74 put an end to Ottoman rule and, according to the Kuchuk-Kaynardzhi Peace Treaty of 1774, the Ottomans renounced their claims to Crimea. By decree of Catherine II on January 19 (30), Gezlev received the status of a district town and a new name. It was named Evpatoria in honor of the king of ancient Pontus, Mithridates VI Eupator. The Pontic king often helped the inhabitants of Kerkinitis during attacks by the Scythians, sending generals with a large army.

At the beginning of the 19th century, a new port was built in the city, which became one of the largest in Crimea; in 1840, construction of the city embankment began. By the 1840s, about 11 thousand people lived in Yevpatoria. During the Crimean War, Evpatoria was occupied by Anglo-Franco-Turkish troops and turned into a fortified base.

In the 19th century, Yevpatoria became the main cultural center of the Crimean Karaites. From Chufut-Kale, which gradually fell into desolation, most of the population moved to the city, led by Gaham, the spiritual leader of the Karaite community. In 1865, the Karaite girls' school for girls was opened in the city.

At the end of the 19th century, Evpatoria began to quickly gain popularity as a resort. The area between the old city and Lake Moinaki began to be actively built up with dachas. In 1914, a tram was opened in the city, and in 1915 the Sarabuz-Evpatoria railway was built from the Lozovo-Sevastopol railway.

By 1940, 36 sanatoriums and rest houses operated in Yevpatoria. By 1941, the city's population reached 47 thousand people. From October 31 to April 13, 1944, the city was occupied by the Nazis. On May 18, 1944, the Crimean Tatar population was deported from Yevpatoria to Central Asia, and on June 26, Armenians, Bulgarians and Greeks. More than 12,000 people were shot during the occupation. In total, during the war the city lost about 45-55% of its population.

Districts and district map of Evpatoria

Evpatoria is a relatively small city, but it is divided into a large number of microdistricts, each of which has its own name.

Donuzlav

The village of Novoozernoye, or otherwise Donuzlav, is located on the northwestern outskirts of the city, on the shores of Donuzlav Bay. This is a former military settlement. In the current reality, boarding houses and individual households predominate in the residential area. Of course, there are also multi-storey buildings, even summer cottages. The village is quite quiet and calm, the infrastructure is at the proper level, everything necessary for life is there. The attraction of Novoozerny is the dolphinarium. Real estate prices in the village are low and affordable to almost everyone.

Both sides of the village are washed by water, one edge is the seashore, and the other is Donuzlav Bay. Life in the village is in full swing; for a convenient and comfortable life, there is almost everything here, from medical and educational institutions to nightclubs. The main type of buildings is five-story buildings. They are diluted with individual buildings. Mirny is popular among vacationers.

Nakhalovka and Tovarnaya station

The Nakhalovka microdistrict and Tovarnaya station are located side by side with the Aviagorodki microdistrict.

In these areas, there is rampant crime; local residents try not to leave their houses at night, and from other microdistricts they avoid Nakhalovka. There are a lot of gypsies here, and hence the drug trade. The infrastructure includes kindergartens, supermarkets, small shops and a clinic. Housing is the cheapest on the Evpatoria real estate market. Mainly private houses. Areas such as Nakhalovka and Tovarnaya station can only be compared with Chicago, which is also considered a crime-ridden city.

Slobodka

The boundaries of the district extend over quite a considerable distance. The basis of the development is private households. This microdistrict is characterized by one-story and two-story houses and private hotels. Silence reigns here only in small streets, and large avenues, for example, Internatsionalnaya Street, are quite busy, the noise of cars carries over a decent distance. The price range of housing varies widely, the minimum cost is 40 thousand in US currency, and the maximum is 200 thousand dollars. The sea coast is relatively close, no more than 1.7 km.

Sanitary and resort areas

The indigenous inhabitants of the city connect these two areas into one whole, a resort sanatorium microdistrict, endowed with a variety of health resorts. Thanks to them, the microdistrict got its name. Accommodation in this area is quite comfortable and convenient, both for families with children and for single holidaymakers. The infrastructure of the microdistrict is quite developed. There are beaches, cafes, clubs, supermarkets and small shops, souvenir shops. It is convenient to move around the sanitary resort area, both by car and on foot. The roads have good transport interchanges, markings and pedestrian crossings.

Moinaki

The neighborhood is suitable for permanent residence for those who love peace and quiet. Near it is the mud bath of Lake Moinak, hence the name. The area was built during the Soviet period, so five- and twelve-story buildings predominate. But there are also blocks of modern construction - prestigious townhouses, which have their own beaches, swimming pools and parks.

Old city

The streets of this microdistrict with all its buildings are of historical value, some of them are architectural monuments. The old city appeared a long time ago, there are no comfortable conditions here, and therefore it is not popular among vacationers. Thanks to this, it is quiet here, there is no noise and fuss. The disadvantage of the area is the disgusting roads.

Perekopskaya Street

The border of the Perekopskaya Street area runs directly at the entrance to Evpatoria from the Simferopol highway. The microdistrict is built up with both multi-storey buildings and the private sector. There are residential buildings on both sides of the street. The sea is not far away, its shore is visible to residents from the window. Due to this circumstance, housing prices are high here. The minimum cost of a private home is more than one hundred thousand US dollars.

City center

The beginning of the area is the railway station. The microdistrict stretches towards the Evpatoria embankment. The center is built up mainly with multi-storey buildings. Some of them are occupied by the administration, various clinics, and hypermarkets. The center is not very suitable for living due to noise and heavy traffic. Due to this circumstance, real estate prices in the center are much lower than the cost of apartments in other areas of the resort town.

Supermarket, 9 and 8 microdistricts

The Supermarket area is called the 7th microdistrict. All three blocks 7, 8 and 9 are closely adjacent to each other. Their residential area is represented only by multi-storey buildings, the infrastructure is well developed: kindergarten, shops, pharmacies, bank branches, schools. There are playgrounds for children and parking lots in the courtyards. Due to green spaces, the courtyard area has an aesthetic appearance. These neighborhoods are ideal for permanent residence. Housing prices do not bite, they are quite affordable.

Air cities

The microdistrict is called Aviagorodki, fifth and twenty-ninth, reflecting the essence of this residential area. Previously, there were aircraft workshops and a military camp here. The areas are located midway between the railway station and the business center. Its disadvantage is the noise and rumble coming from the trains. The microdistricts have everything necessary for people's livelihoods, since the center of Evpatoria is far from them. Housing prices are quite affordable; apartments in new buildings can be purchased from 30 to 60 thousand dollars.

District "Plans"

Once in this microdistrict, you must remember that its correct pronunciation depends on the emphasis that falls on the letter “Y”. The area is quite extensive, the residential area is represented by individual properties and almost new multi-storey buildings. The infrastructure of the PlanY district is well developed; it has everything you need for a comfortable life. The cost of housing is not cheap, but less than on Perekopskaya Street.

Area "Beyond the Line"
