CrimeaPRESS reports:

Rostourism cautiously predicts a drop in tourist flow to the Crimea by a third. Despite not too optimistic assumptions, the number of holiday-goers on the peninsula is already running into the millions. Logistical problems did not prevent vacationers from getting to the sea by trains, buses and private cars.

And what is most remarkable, they go to the Crimea not just to “swim and sunbathe”. The peninsula surprises with its climatic, natural diversity, abundance of beauty and sights, conditions for a good rest and the most pleasant impressions.

The Trip Rated portal has prepared for travelers the TOP 11 best places to stay in Crimea. It is enough to follow the link https://triprated.ru/mesta-dlya-otdyha-v-krymu/, in order to create for yourself that very “minimum program” of a southern vacation filled with salt spray clear sea, the bright sun of wild beaches, the aromas of cypress, arborvitae and eucalyptus, multi-colored Koktebel pebbles and the gentle sand of the Evpatoria coast, the taste of Novy Svet champagne and the first rays of the Gurzuf dawn.

For each place of rest, the site gives short useful information, defining its features and advantages. Judge for yourself:

Yalta is the undoubted resort capital peninsulas, with an extensive recreation infrastructure, an abundance of excursion offers, palaces and beaches, parks and entertainment. A great place to relax with the whole family, a comfortable «hotel» vacation, with an original program every day and evening. Rest here — let’s say — not a budget. But if you rested in the Crimea and did not visit Yalta, you did not see the Crimea itself.

Evpatoria — the same «children’s health resort» of the USSR. It has remained so. Sandy beaches, mild climate, a huge number of children’s boarding houses, camps, sanatoriums, guest houses, where they will only be happy to receive a noisy large family. And yes, the evening «entertainment» in the resort town after ends. Shh, it’s time for the kids to sleep.

Koktebel. Paradise for lovers of «bohemian» holidays by the sea, art connoisseurs, creative, extraordinary people. Either Voloshin’s dacha (house-museum) attracts them here, or a factory of fine wines and cognacs, or permanent open-air art exhibitions, biennials, flash mobs and art spaces … But the fact is, the scope for creativity here is endless. There are, in a small distance from the resort village and nudist beaches. In short, long live freedom.

Pike perch. Rest in this resort on the eastern coast of the Crimean peninsula is becoming more and more popular year by year. In some ways, the secret of such “top-ranking” is in moderate prices, in some ways in the cheerful and noisy atmosphere of the evening embankment and Cypress Alley, “knightly” festivals in the Genoese fortress and the “place of power” — Cape Alchak.

Olenevka. On the one hand, this village on the west coast attracts all outdoor enthusiasts and extreme. Olenevka is a traditional venue for the Extreme Crimea festival. On the other hand, shallow water and the most delicate white (almost Maldivian) sand are just the name of families with small children. Let’s add to this the smell of the steppe will of Tarkhankut, the dolphinarium and the underwater «Museum of Leaders». This place is a paradise for divers and surfers, all those who are tired of the noise and rhythm of megacities. Time here flows much more slowly, checked.

Alupka. At least for a day, you just need to visit this southern coastal village. At least for a photo with a white stone lion at the entrance to the Vorontsov Palace, at least for the sake of a walk in the park with palm trees and magnolias.

Feodosiya. An amazing city, frozen at the crossroads of time, where antiquity coexists with newfangled modernity: in architecture, way of life, organization of recreation. Pensioners choose leisurely walks to the sea and visiting the Aivazovsky Gallery, the Green Museum, Stamboli’s dacha, and mud baths. Youth — evening concerts, cafes and attractions, festivals and excursions, relaxation on the famous Golden Beach. The undoubted democratic nature of the resort is most noticeable in prices.

Alushta. This year, the repair of the city embankment was delayed there, but even without that, the resort cordially offers comfortable beaches, catering establishments, organization of recreation in secluded villas and crowded holiday homes. The Professor’s (Working) Corner will delight you with the comfort of boarding houses and the well-groomed seaside alleys. Excursions: even to Mount Demerdzhi (with a constant cap of clouds and fog), even to the Valley of Ghosts, even to the “stones of power” in the Sater Valley … Let’s call it a rest with benefit, for a photo album and … health.

New World. A small village near Sudak will surprise you with a thin ribbon of serpentine road, the solitude of the bay. For connoisseurs — the famous factory of sparkling wines. For connoisseurs — Chaliapin’s grotto and the Golitsyn trail. An ideal place for newlyweds and couples.

General beaches of Kerch. Retire, merge with nature, swim freely, get a tropical tan, enjoy fishing, diving. Stay a week or two «savage» with a tent. Misanthropes and everyone who is tired of people, the need for constant communication and compliance with the rules — you are here.

Gurzuf . If Yalta is practically an elite vacation, then Gurzuf is a real VIP resort. Here, in a small area, all the best from the South Coast is concentrated: an ideal subtropical, Mediterranean climate, pebble beaches, clear warm sea, many options for organizing recreation, an abundance of museum palaces, park areas, beauties and attractions.

How to rank the entire TOP-11 of the best places to stay in Crimea from the portal triprated.ru — a matter of taste, mood, vacation duration and … what is already there, the thickness of the wallet. Choose, relax, enjoy such a different, but hospitable Crimea.
